In addition to crops from the old game, several new [[wild plants]] are available, including [[hide root]] and [[prickle berry]]. Seeds for these wild plants are harvested using the [[plant gathering]] skill. Once you have gathered seeds, you can set up a [[farm plot]] and these wild plants will be available as crop options.

'''Crops''' are plants that can either be farmed, traded for, or acquired by plant gathering. [[Farming]] happens at [[farm plot]]s. There are two types of crops: above ground and subterranean. The [[seed]]s of [[subterranean crops]] may be brought from the starting [[embark]] screen or, with some small luck, purchased from dwarven [[caravan]]s. Above ground crops and seeds may be purchased from [[human]] or [[elf|elven]] caravans or gathered by dwarves with the [[plant gathering]] labor enabled. Seeds may also be collected by processing the plants or eating them (but not by cooking!).
 +
 
 +
A few of the plants listed below are not strictly crops, as they have no seeds and can't be planted (see note "4", below.)
 +
 
 +
Most plants can be [[brew]]ed into [[alcohol]]s, each plant type producing a different variation, and dwarves do prefer some variety in their drink. Some plants may be eaten raw, others must be cooked first, others must be processed first (by [[milling]] or [[plant processing]]) before they are edible, and still others are inedible, producing only non-food products. Drinks may be cooked as ingredients in prepared meals.
 +
 
 +
All drinks require a spare [[barrel]] for storage, and some other products also require specific [[container]]s for storage. Plants can be stored in barrels or individually, while seeds are stored individually or in bags, which can themselves be stored in barrels.
 +
 
 +
[[Cave wheat]], [[sweet pod]]s, [[quarry bush]]es, and [[dimple cup]]s can be harvested roughly 42 days after sowing. All other crops need only 25 days.
 +
 +
'''Habitat note''': In the following table, "Wet" means that the plant only grows within two squares of any natural water source (pond/river/etc), and "Dry" means that it only grows ''away'' from natural water sources.  Thus, [[bloated tuber]]'s "Any Wetland (Dry)" means that it grows in wetlands, but just not right next to water.

Crops are plants that can either be farmed, traded for, or acquired by plant gathering. Farming happens at farm plots. There are two types of crops: above ground and subterranean. The seeds of subterranean crops may be brought from the starting embark screen or, with some small luck, purchased from dwarven caravans. Above ground crops and seeds may be purchased from human or elven caravans or gathered by dwarves with the plant gathering labor enabled. Seeds may also be collected by processing the plants or eating them (but not by cooking!).

A few of the plants listed below are not strictly crops, as they have no seeds and can't be planted (see note "4", below.)

Most plants can be brewed into alcohols, each plant type producing a different variation, and dwarves do prefer some variety in their drink. Some plants may be eaten raw, others must be cooked first, others must be processed first (by milling or plant processing) before they are edible, and still others are inedible, producing only non-food products. Drinks may be cooked as ingredients in prepared meals.

All drinks require a spare barrel for storage, and some other products also require specific containers for storage. Plants can be stored in barrels or individually, while seeds are stored individually or in bags, which can themselves be stored in barrels.

Cave wheat, sweet pods, quarry bushes, and dimple cups can be harvested roughly 42 days after sowing. All other crops need only 25 days.

Habitat note: In the following table, "Wet" means that the plant only grows within two squares of any natural water source (pond/river/etc), and "Dry" means that it only grows away from natural water sources. Thus, bloated tuber's "Any Wetland (Dry)" means that it grows in wetlands, but just not right next to water.
