Growth times given here are minimum times. [[Disease (Farming)|Disease]]s can occur at the end of a growth cycle and prevents advancement to the next cycle, essentially causing the cycle to be repeated. Using [[compost]], [[supercompost]] or [[ultracompost]] reduces the occurrence of repeated cycles through disease, helping to ensure the speediest growth.

==Acquiring seeds==
The following are several ways to get the seeds needed for farming:

*Most seeds can be bought from other players.
*Picking a vegetable from one of the non-player-owned fields dotted around ''RuneScape'' occasionally provides a seed as well.
*Pickpocketing [[farmer]]s with level 10 [[Thieving]], which will occasionally give [[potato seed]]s.
*On populated worlds it is easy to get large amounts of lower level seeds from players training Thieving at a [[master farmer]] or completing [[farming contracts]] and dropping the lower level seeds.
**An alternative for lower-level players who wish to acquire seeds but do not have the required Thieving levels to pickpocket from Martin the Master Gardener or from Olivia's stall is to simply stand around Draynor Marketplace near the stalls and wait for players to drop seeds they are pickpocketing. (Many players train Thieving here and end up dropping a lot of their seeds on the ground because they're either doing it only for experience, have no room in their inventories, or are simply not getting the seeds they want and drop the lower-level ones.)
*Opening [[seed pack]]s given as [[farming contract]] rewards.
*Pickpocketing [[Master Farmer]]s (including [[Martin the Master Gardener]]) with level 38 [[Thieving]] for all seeds except tree seeds and fruit tree seeds.
*Buying from [[Olivia]] who runs the seed stall in [[Draynor Village]], or from [[Amelia's Seed Shop]] in the [[Farming Guild]]. Only low-level-farming seeds are available for purchase.
*Stealing from [[Draynor Seed Market|Olivia's stall]] with level 27 [[Thieving]]. (You will not be able to purchase seeds from her for a short period of time if you steal from her.)
*[[Bird nest]]s give tree and fruit tree seeds and can be obtained from the following ways:
**random events in [[Woodcutting]];
**trading [[mole claw]]s and/or [[mole skin]]s with [[Wyson the gardener]] at [[Falador Park]]. [[Mole claw]]s and [[mole skin]]s can be obtained by killing the [[Giant Mole]] or killing [[Molanisk]]s with level 39 [[Slayer]] for [[mole claw]]s alone.
**Doing [[Birdhouses|birdhouse runs]].
*[[Managing Miscellania]] for seeds and [[bird nest]]s. Allocating resources to cutting wood gives bird nests, allocating resources to herbs or flax can yield herb seeds, and allocating resources to farming gives a wide variety of seeds. The [[Throne of Miscellania]] quest is required (and [[Royal Trouble]] for the farming).
*Monster drops. [[Ogre]]s, [[Moss giant]]s, [[Aberrant spectre]]s, and [[Dagannoth]]s are a few examples of monsters with good seed drops.
*Catching [[impling]]s, especially [[Nature impling]]s.
*Watermelon seeds can be obtained as a reward in the [[Temple Trekking]] minigame.
*[[Seaweed spores]] spawn randomly in the [[underwater|Fossil Island underwater area]].
*[[Crystal bow]]s can be bought from [[Islwyn]] in [[Prifddinas]] for {{NoCoins|900000}} Coins each, dismantled back to a [[crystal weapon seed]], and finally traded to [[Pennant]] in Prifddinas for a [[crystal acorn]].
