Garden with Insight v1.0 Help: Plant params harvest items group

Harvest display item for axillary bud: The harvest item which contains nutritional and other information for this plant's axillary buds, if they are harvested. Brussels sprouts are an example of axillary buds.

Harvest display item for female flower: The harvest item which contains nutritional and other information for this plant's female flowers, if they are harvested. Some flowers can be eaten (but some are poisonous).

Harvest display item for female flower bud: The harvest item which contains nutritional and other information for this plant's female flower buds, if they are harvested. Some flower buds can be eaten (but some are poisonous).

Harvest display item for female inflorescence: The harvest item which contains nutritional and other information for this plant's female inflorescences, if they are harvested. Some inflorescences can be eaten (but some are poisonous).

Harvest display item for fruit: The harvest item which contains nutritional and other information for this plant's fruits, if they are harvested. Many garden vegetables have harvestable fruits -- tomatoes, peppers, peas, etc.

Harvest display item for leaf: The harvest item which contains nutritional and other information for this plant's leaves, if they are harvested. Lettuce and spinach are examples of vegetables from which leaves are often harvested singly.

Harvest display item for male flower: The harvest item which contains nutritional and other information for this plant's male flowers, if they are harvested. Some flowers can be eaten (but some are poisonous).

Harvest display item for male flower bud: The harvest item which contains nutritional and other information for this plant's male flower buds, if they are harvested. Some flower buds can be eaten (but some are poisonous).

Harvest display item for male inflorescence: The harvest item which contains nutritional and other information for this plant's male inflorescences, if they are harvested. Some inflorescences can be eaten (but some are poisonous).

Harvest display item for root: The harvest item which contains nutritional and other information for this plant's root, if it is harvested. Any plant whose root is harvested has to be pulled up to harvest the root. Carrots and onions are examples.

Harvest display item for seedling leaf: The harvest item which contains nutritional and other information for this plant's seedling leaves (cotyledons), if they are harvested. This is for completeness; seedling leaves are probably never harvested.

Harvest display item for stem (internode): The harvest item which contains nutritional and other information for this plant's stem internodes, if they are harvested. Kohlrabi is an example of a vegetable whose stem is harvested.

Harvest display item for storage organ: The harvest item which contains nutritional and other information for this plant's storage organ(s), if they are harvested. Storage organs are used in the simulation for bulbs and tubers (onions, potatoes, etc).

Harvest display item for whole plant: The harvest item which contains nutritional and other information for this whole plant, if the whole plant is harvested at once. Any plant that has a 'whole plant' harvest item must be pulled up to be harvested.

Harvest items bundled with whole plant: Check any items on this list to include their biomass in the harvested biomass when the whole plant is harvested. These only apply if the plant has a 'whole plant' harvest item.

Lump storage organ in with: In reality storage organs are always embodied in some plant part, but in this simulation storage biomass is kept track of separately. When there is a storage organ, you must say which plant part to include the storage organ biomass with during harvesting.
