Garden Bed
A Garden Bed is where every vegetable in the game is grown: Wheat, Carrots, Flax, Beets, Cabbages, Onions and Pumpkins. It comes with Gardening (5 green), the first technology on the Farming page, and costs nothing. You place it on the marked bed area at the garden’s build desk, then dig it out with a shovel: 4 swings, each needing Farming mastery 2.
Planting takes 4 seeds and is the only part of the crop your own Farming mastery affects. After that the bed grows the crop by itself, at a pace set by the garden’s upgrades and the bed’s fertilizer. Farming explains planting, growing, harvests and fertilizer in full.

Notes
- The rusty shovel alone cannot dig a bed. It gives Farming 1, and the bed needs 2. Add another Farming tool to your toolbar, such as a fishing rod, or learn the first Farming talent.
- Grapes and hops do not grow here. They need a Vine Trellis in the vineyard.
- Where beds can go depends on the garden’s level. Each Garden Upgrade switches the marked bed area, and it speeds up every bed.
- Digging one counts toward the Gardener inspiration.
- Zombie gardeners need a crop tablet next to the bed to know what to plant; without one they leave it alone.
