Veggie Seed Research
The tables below display the different conditions that need to be tested for veggie seed growth. I'd appreciate any help you'd like to supply, but please test each condition at a variety of locations to ensure we don't overlook something. As we now know, each person has a "magic tree" that grants onion seeds, but it is one particular tree for each avatar in a given area. If one person tests a condition at a single place, that probably won't be enough to rule out that condition. Please be thorough!
Also, be aware of your surroundings. If you successfully grow a seed while testing, note other conditions that were present at that time.
Phase 1 of the project will include testing "natural" sources for seed growth correlation. I don't want to include testing using player-built items at this time (except the aqueduct since they are tied in closely with veggies). If we can't figure out how to grow seeds from this list, we'll start work on Phase 2 (using player buildings).

Grow your veggies at these altitudes and on these terrains. Make comments in the appropriate section. If you successfully grow a seed, please try and narrow the altitude down as much as possible and list the quality of your barometer.
| Condition | Barometer Quality | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| < 100' | ||
| 100-200' | ||
| 200-300' | ||
