Harvesting

There are twelve different ways to harvest the herbs:

  • 1 Cut away the outer stem
  • 2 Harvest the Root pith
  • 3 Trim the Root fibres
  • 4 Snip the leaf stems
  • 5 Peel back the stem base
  • 6 Scrape off the stem pith
  • 7 Remove the Tap Root
  • 8 Pick out the seeds
  • 9 Crush the stems
  • 10 Pluck the leaves
  • 11 Squeeze out the sap
  • 12 Scrape away the leaf hairs

List of Herbs

Upload your image to the wiki and add a link like [[Image:Newherbs%24tagetese.jpg|thumb|256px|Tagetese]] in the third column. That will automatically resize the picture to a width of 256 pixels, independent of the size of the uploaded picture. Please turn off Time-of-day-lighting to make the images comparable, and drop a grass beside the herb before taking the shot to illustrate the size of the herb. See Help:Images for more information.

I am creating a Category based index of all the herbs: Index of Herbs For it to work as I intend Images needs to have categorys added to them. Easyest is to do this while uploading them ofcourse. to do this, when uploading a Image in the summary text box add: {{Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|_SHAPE|_COLOR|_TEXTURE|_RELATION}} NAME beening the name of the herb, METHOD the correct Method to harvest it. And the following pipes starting with an underscore ("_") beeing diffrent categorys, up to 6 of them. (See the index for posible categorys) You can create a new category, but first make sure no excisting category is sutable! (Categorys once created can not be deleted.)

Don't add links to paysites like photobucket, this page is used very frequently and will very quickly use up your download capacity.
Please make sure the images you upload are from T4, and not recycled pictures from T3, as many of the colors have shifted dramatically
