-To grow flax, plant a bed of flax plants using the "Plant" menu, on grass. Flax will not grow on sand. After a short while, green flax shoots with blue flowers will appear in the bed. Shortly afterward, yellow weeds will appear. Weed the flax bed by selecting the appropriate menu option. Depending on the variety of [[Flax Seeds]] being used, you may need to water the flax when you weed it (using one [[requires::Water in Jugs]]), and you may need to weed the bed several times. Eventually, the flax will complete growing and you may harvest it. There are no signs that the flax is ready for harvest except more flowers grow in the flax bed. The best way to tell is to click on the flax and see.

It might be hard to see this, so a good way to tell for sure is to click on the flax and see.
-To get water, you need [[jugs]], which you can get by signing up to learn the [[Pottery]] skill at a [[School of Thought]].
+Flax grown in the above manner will not produce any seeds. To grow [[Flax Seeds]], plant a bed of flax but do not weed it. Shortly after weeds appear in the bed, the flax will go to seed. You will see more of the yellow weeds. You may then harvest seeds from the flax up to 5 times before it finally dies. When the plant dies, it will leave more seeds on the ground.  It takes 1 Teppy Minute (about 1m 07s real time) for the Harvest option to reappear after harvesting a seed.
 Take care to not use up all your flax seeds when growing flax; you should always keep at least a few in reserve to grow more seeds. If you do run out, you can go back to a School of Art to get a few more seeds.

 ==Pollution / Soil Quality==
-Among other species of flax, [[Nile Green]] will reduce soil quality around the ground where it is grown.  It doesn't seem to affect only the exact spot, but the general area, perhaps the whole coordinate area up to a range of 2-3 in each direction.  ''(Needs independent verification)''

 Nile Green: In a 4x4 coordinate area in Sinai, 3362,4114 I began planting NG and harvested 180 or so before I started getting only seed.
 I planted over 500 NG and didn't lose any flax (3420,4382 Sinai)--Ferns
