Fortresses can have a maximum of 200 seeds of each type. If your fortress has 200 seeds of a given type, no more seeds of that type will be produced until the seeds are consumed (either through planting or cooking) or otherwise destroyed (you can however acquire more than 200 seeds by trade, but why would you?). This is good in that all plant related jobs will no longer cause huge hauler bee-lines. It is bad in that a (though marginally) amount of food and value is lost. | Fortresses can have a maximum of 200 seeds of each type.

Even though your dwarves will do a decent job of consolidating seeds into as few [[bag]]s as possible, massive seed stocks will still use up a huge number of bags. This can be controlled somewhat by [[dump]]ing surplus seeds from inside bags, especially if a single seed sits in a bag. You can also use the [[stocks]] screen to dump all of a seed type that you do not intend to plant. You will however hardly ever need more than 40 bags and that is for more than, say, 2000 seeds. So buy some cheap leather soon, get your leatherworker to it and make those bags, so you can forget about one more micromanage thing. | Even though your dwarves will do a decent job of consolidating seeds into as few [[bag]]s as possible, massive seed stocks will still use up a huge number of bags.

These are the only plants (aside from Tower Caps) that will grow inside the cave; all other (gatherable) plants can only be found and grown aboveground. Most (but not all) aboveground plants will produce seeds (see [[List of crops]]), which in turn can be planted to grow crops. [[Trade]]rs will almost always bring seeds with them (if the [[biome]] fits) which can be used for farming if you cannot find any yourself. | These are the only plants (aside from Tower Caps) that will grow inside the cave; all other (gatherable) plants can only be found and grown aboveground.

There are several types of seeds that are grown aboveground. They generally work the same way as underground crops: plant them in a farm plot, wait for them to grow, harvest them, and then process/mill, brew, cook, and/or eat them raw. Note that there is an important distinction between "inside" and "aboveground": these crops can be grown in any space marked "Above Ground", regardless of whether it's inside or outside. This means that via the usage of a skylight or [[Farming#Greenhouses|greenhouse]], they can be grown in a secure location, perhaps even adjacent to your underground crops. | There are several types of seeds that are grown aboveground.
