Allotments

On allotments you can grow veggies, fruits, and you have spaces for flowers and herbs. The flowers you grow can keep dieses away form your fruits and veggies. Also you can put a scarecrow in the flowers area to keep crows away from your corn. There is also ALWAYS a compost bin.

Hops

Hops are used to make different ales (beer). You will need to have barley when you go to make your ale so be sure you have that.

Trees

You can plant trees! You can plant oak trees and up. You can then cut them and stuff. If your tree gets diseased you need to use the secateurs on it. Once you chop the tree down you will see a stump. Use your spade ont he stump and you will get roots. Oak roots are used with an ale, and magic roots are for the Amulet of Nature.

Fruit Trees

You can grow fruit trees, yay. Umm ya......

Bushes

You can grow bushes now. They have some uses. Some of the berries you can use to make stronger poisons, I think.
