The Sims The Sims 2

The garden plot is an object that allows Sims to plant seeds and grow produce. In The Sims this object is called the Insta-plot Victory Garden and can be found in Build Mode -> Plant Tool. The Sims: Makin' Magic added new types of produce that can only be grown with the As the Plot Thickens garden plot included with Makin' Magic, which can also be found in Build Mode -> Plant Tool. The garden plot returned in The Sims 2 as the Pleasant Earth Dit, which can be found under Build mode -> Garden Center -> Gardening. While it is still possible to garden in The Sims 3, garden plots are no longer required, since seeds can be planted anywhere in a yard.

The Sims 2
Gardening plots returned in The Sims 2: Seasons and were used for growing crops. Gardening plots could now be plopped down in the same fashion as foundations, easily allowing for a large section of land to be covered with garden plots, instead of being individually placed as in The Sims.

Once placed, Sims can choose to plant a crop, or fertilize the plot first. Fertilizing a plot is not required to grow crops, although doing so yields better results. Plots can be fertilized with a bag for §10, or for free with compost. When a Sim plants a crop, they are automatically charged the price for the seeds. They will dig a hole, drop the seeds in, and push the dirt back over it. Once this is done, Sims will have to water, tend, and spray the plant in order to keep it healthy.

Sims can abort the growth of any crop by clicking on the plant and selecting "Compost". This will add the plant to a compost bin and make the plot available for other plants.
