FarmVille Crops: Basil & Cucumber
FarmVille has added two new permanent crops to the FarmVille Market- Basil and Cucumber.
Since these are permenent crops, Crop Mastery will be available for both.
Basil seeds make an appropriate debut during the Italian Tuscan limited edition theme since basil is a staple of Italian cuisine. Basil seeds can be purchased for 300 coins, take 10 hours to grow and yield 400 coins with a profit of 100 coins and 1 XP.
Cucumber seeds can be purchased for 290 coins, take 1 day to grow and yield 450 coins with a profit of 160 coins and 2 XP.

New permanent crops are always welcome…but I will not be planting them anytime soon, ’cause I set out to master all crops one by one. And I’m not even halfway there

Oh Sweet!!! Now this is more like it zynga!!! Lol, I was just looking at the lavender a little while thinking too bad I don’t have any Italian herbs to plant to go with my Italian farm and the Tuscany theme!
Posted on May 20th, 2010 at 11:46 pm
Yay for permanent crops! And I’ll definitely be planting them, since they’re masterable!
Posted on May 20th, 2010 at 11:49 pm

level 43 needed for cucumber? boooo
Posted on May 21st, 2010 at 12:53 am
Cucumbers and Basil, New permanent crops, masterable, good profit. All these points makes me to plant ‘em very soon…
Posted on May 21st, 2010 at 12:54 am
hot diggity damn! more green crops! how about some Tyson chicken factories for all my extra chickens Zynga??? I have like 100 of them. The farmville economy depends on either more chicken coops or chicken factories. get er done!!
Posted on May 21st, 2010 at 1:07 am
I’m not sure what level cucumber is (I’m currently 46) but basil isn’t available until level 48.
Posted on May 21st, 2010 at 1:14 am
I’m level 70, so anything new for me to aim for in the mastery section is welcome! lol
Posted on May 21st, 2010 at 2:19 am
glad to see new crops but I would like to see some crops in 4 hour range ~ I think herbs would be perfect for this time range
Posted on May 21st, 2010 at 6:04 am
I too like 1 day crops so “welcome” to cucumbers.
They could have put a wee spin on some existing crops while this promo is on e.g. offering 1 more xp per planting for olives and tomatoes while we are in Tuscany.
I think we could do with a cheese factory too; somewhere to put our goats.

I am only six mastery signs away from having them all (well I guess eight now), once I get them all I think the game will become somewhat boring to me, so I’m always glad when they add new crops.

@ Farmaniac
Since we already have olive trees, I’d be surprised if olives became a harvestable crop like cucumbers or basil.
I think new crops are always welcome. I am glad to see they are for higher levels, since there does not seem to be a lot to unlock past level 32.

cucumber!!! finally!!! and basil LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! A+ zanga
Posted on May 21st, 2010 at 9:03 am
Yep…love new crops. Maybe we’ll see some more herbs with the Tuscan Theme!
Posted on May 21st, 2010 at 10:32 am
Dang it, I was 4-5 days away from finishing all of the mastery’s, and they go and release two new crops… now I’m 19 days… sigh…
Posted on May 21st, 2010 at 11:55 am
Will definitely plant when I unlock these.
Would *love* to see garlic as a crop!
Posted on May 21st, 2010 at 11:56 am
Cukes and basil have already gone in my vegetable patch, but the rest of my farm is growing grapes for wine. And white grapes are taking FOREVER to master.
Posted on May 21st, 2010 at 12:06 pm
Basil = 8.5 coins/hour
Cucumbers = 6.3 coins/hour
Posted on May 21st, 2010 at 12:09 pm
Yes Please More new crops I like it.
Posted on May 21st, 2010 at 12:30 pm
Who cares !!! those ****ing crops r not so much of a profit.U mean 290 & 300 for a one plot . Those r really costly . I mean talk about big bucks man!!! I am not planting them. On the other side hope this new issue will come with bug free coz every new item zynga puts its buggy. So i am not planing them never in the future >>>>
Posted on May 21st, 2010 at 9:52 pm
I will plant them soon, even though I’m in the middle of mastering a different crop and I like to keep it in order. I just want to see what they look like fully grown!
Posted on June 24th, 2010 at 6:02 am
or 1. add herbs to vegetables count on the ribbons, or make a new ribbon for herbs…..
Now I wasted my time planting basil >.>
