Farming can be a difficult skill to start, in the sense that getting your hands on the seeds as a new [[player]] can be extremely time consuming. But, since most people build their first [[House (general)|house]] with at least some surrounding [[land]] [[fence]]d off...
[[Foraging|Forage]] and [[Botanizing|botanise]] a few times every time you log on. Every time you get a [[seed]], plant it in the grounds of your house.
'''Notes:'''
* To prepare the ground for planting you may need to [[Flattening|flatten]] and then cultivate it.
* Initially you should start with an easier crop such as [[corn]], [[cotton]], [[potato]], or [[wempplants]]. Otherwise you may get zero [[skill]] gain.
* [[Onion]] and [[garlic]] definitely give zero skill gain with up to 22 in farming. They give some skill gain near 30.
