Seeds

In FarmVille, seeds are planted to make a profit. Seeds can be purchased from the Market. There are several types of seeds located in the market. There are Limited Edition seeds, that are available in the market for a short amount of time, but most seeds are full-time. Crops also take different times to grow.

If crops are not harvested in time, crops will wither. The time it takes a seed to become fully grown is the same amount of time it takes crops to wither. (Example: Tomatoes take 8 hours to grow. Which means they must be harvested right before 16 hours after they are planted or the crops will wither). Plots with withered crops can be plowed for 15 coins each and then replanted, or an unwither could be used.

Crops can also be mastered. When crops are mastered the farmer earns coins, experience points, and a mastery sign to display on their farm to show off their masteries. Limited Edition crops could not be mastered until just recently.

If a crop has not been mastered, farmers can use a bushel from the farmer's market to get double mastery points while harvesting. But if the farmer has mastered the seed, then the bushel will earn them 1 experience point each plot harvested.

In January 2011, FarmVille released the Greenhouse. The Greenhouse is used to mix seeds together to make another crop. Like if somebody mixed together strawberries and raspberries, the outcome would be straspberries.
