Best Crops?

[Darkening Demise]

So what should I grow during the Winter?
&
What can I grow in the rain? (My settings have lots of rain)
I don't think chips and soda are cutting it and for some odd reason the water bottles don't work most of the time. So I have to find sinks to drink from directly.

Cabbage, potato and tomato

Cabbage
Fast growth, high calorie for a vegetable

Potato
Decent calorie, very slow to spoil (great if you havent fridge / freezer)
As a second vegetable (after cabbage...) in cooked meals

Tomato
As bait for rats and mouses
Very low calorie, only good to eat if obese or overwieght


In my opinion, other vegetables arent worth it to farm

yeah totally agree with Ficelle, same advice. Basically Cabbage and potato. If bored, add tomato and/or broccoli, just for the flavor.

Winter doesn't change a thing for veggies. Cold might slow their growth, might not ; havent looked at the game files in a while, can't remember. Just stay in the water thresholds and you are good. When sowing seeds, look at the water requirements. Or use wiki, it is up to date for this at least.

Veggies that does not like too much water are carrots and radish. You need neither anyways. You can grow them indoors, where you can control water levels.

For drinks, if you have lots of rain and no carpentry skill for rain collectors, use cooking pots. Leave them on the ground. After a couple minutes under the rain, they are filled with tainted water. Cook them to get clean water.
