From seed to harvest

Beds

A Garden Bed is placed in the Garden for free once Gardening is researched, then dug with a shovel at Farming 2 (2 energy per tick). A Vine Trellis is placed in the Vineyard for 5 Stick and 3 Peat after Vineyard, and dug at Farming 6. Wheat, Carrot, Flax, Beet, Cabbage, Onion and Pumpkin grow on Garden Beds; Hops and Grapes on Vine Trellises.

Planting

4 seeds and 4 planting ticks at 1 energy each, worked with the Keeper's Farming against the seed's requirement. At or above it every tick succeeds; below it a tick succeeds with a chance of Farming divided by the requirement. The planting fills the first 4 of the 12 cells: each successful tick counts as a successful cell but pays nothing, each failed tick is a lost cell.

Growth

The other 8 cells grow on their own, one tick every 2:00. Each tick the bed's Farming is set against the crop's requirement: at or above it the tick fills Farming divided by the requirement cells (rounded down, at most 3), all successful; below it the tick fills 1 cell, successful with a chance of Farming divided by the requirement.

Bed Farming

The beds use the garden's own Farming, not the Keeper's: Garden Beds 2, 4 and 8 (4 with Garden Upgrade I and 8 with Garden Upgrade II), Vine Trellises 6 and 11 (11 with the Vineyard Upgrade). Peat and Farming Fertilizers on a bed add to it.

Growth tick

2:00 per tick; 1:45 with Garden Upgrade I and 1:30 with Garden Upgrade II. The Harvest Prayer grants God of nature, which takes 0:20 more off every tick while it lasts. Vine Trellises use the same tick time as Garden Beds.

Harvest

2 Leaf with every harvest, 2 to 12 green tech points by crop and the Earth Power inspiration. The first harvest of Carrot, Beet, Cabbage, Onion and Pumpkin unlocks that crop's dish technology. Master Farmer counts harvests: 100 unlock it.

Example

Cabbage from bronze seeds, every growth cell successful: with all 4 planting ticks successful the bed pays cells 5 to 12, 3 bronze Cabbage seed, 3 bronze Cabbage, 1 silver Cabbage seed and 1 silver Cabbage; with none it pays cells 1 to 8, 4 bronze Cabbage seed and 4 bronze Cabbage.
