If you plant the seeds in the ground you will harvest 10 at a time, if you are harvesting from a garden someone else planted the seeds you should only get 1 maybe 2 at a time. In my experience, when I've harvested from a garden I didn't plant the seeds in, I've only got 1 at a time.

If you do plan on planting your seeds yourself to harvest be aware that there is a time frame that the plants will remain available for harvest. I think you might find the topic under announcements or you can try doing a search to find out the exact amount of time until your plants disappear.

This was changed so it gave more players an opportunity to be able to utilize the fields. Players come and go and some lose interest or forget to remove the plants that they no longer plan on harvesting. As a result the fields were getting full of crops that no one else could use. With the time limit in place it gives others a chance to use the fields instead of having them full of crops the plant owners no longer harvests.

Ok, I just tried to do some digging myself and couldn't find anything.  :( Hopefully one of the staff can look into it for you, but I do know that there is a crop decay time in place. I just don't know how long it is. I do know that its a fairly resonable amount of time, not like a day or 2, more like a week or 2. So you should have enough time to get your money's worth out of the seeds you buy to plant in the ground.

I'm not sure of the time myself thoug 2 to 3 weeks seems about right. Also on picking crops if you planetd its 3 at a time otherwiaw goes off lumberjacking skill 3 at 120.

I'm pretty sure that if you plant the crops yourself in your own yard you should be able to harvest them 10 at a time.  I know on my "farmer" I can do that with the crops I plant in my yard.  As for crops planted 'out in the wild' you will only get 1 at a time.  All this is at 120 lumberjacking skill.

Yeah.  I don't know the exact scale, but the higher your lumberjacking skill the more you can pick at once.

And possible to get lumberjacking to 120 is only with item properties?
