Man I had forgot all about gardening in UO.. It all came back reading this thread.. my 2-story used to be crammed with various pots to combine and get the optimal plants. I agree it has a place here on UOR and even if the plants didn't give any bonuses or weren't flashy colors it would give crafter and homebody characters a chance to make cool new rareish items.. and give us something to do with all the earth elemental dirt.
Course you can! Can't you see the invisible energy field that turns his tower roof into a greenhouse? Tsk tsk
I just read this entire thread Vote from me to have non-neon gardening implemented and NO to orange petals. Hmmm, maybe I could be a gardener fisher person?
