Allotment/Flower/Herb patches[edit | edit source]
There is a flower patch in the Wilderness that can only be used to grow limpwurt roots.
There is a single allotment patch on Harmony island. The quest The Great Brain Robbery must be completed to access it.
A single allotment patch may be unlocked at Livid Farm with a wish for 18,000 Produce Points per use. After the patch has been cleared/harvested it it will disappear until the wish is repeated.
There is a patch used exclusively for potatoes located next to the flax field in Taverley. Head Farmer Jones hands out three potato seeds for free and automatically acts as a gardener, so the patch cannot be watered; however, compost, supercompost, or ultracompost can be applied to it. There is a leprechaun tool store next to it and there is a compost bin. This patch cannot get diseased and both the Farming cape perk and patch bombs do not work on the patch.
Except for the ones listed below, all other herb patches are located at the above locations (allotment patches).
