Onion seed

Onion seed comes in three grades. Herm sells the plain grade from his second tier, 12 at a time. Four seeds plant a Garden Bed, and planting needs Farming mastery 10 for plain seeds (12 and 14 for the better grades).

Onions are the hardest crop to grow in the demo: even after Garden Upgrade I a bed returns fewer seeds than it took. Herm sells the Onions themselves too, 25 at a time, which is the easier way to get them for the Vegetable salad.
