The Sims 2: Seasons/Gardening

On The Sims 2: Seasons your Sims can have their own garden, greenhouse, ponds etc. To start growing things you need to purchase to right plot from the garden centre in build mode. Once this has been bought and placed you can start growing things (you will start purely with tomatoes and as your gardening skill grows you will be able to grow more items). For your vegetables to grow better, you can also build a greenhouse which will protect your plants from the weather and any insects. Plants need to be watered and tended regularly before the produce can be harvested (or sold off). The better care you took of the plants the better it will turn out, and the more satisfaction it will give when prepared in meals. If a gardener is hired to tend to the Sims garden, they plants will only grow as well as possible under bronze badge care.
