First, you must know, I only have very basic knowledge of modding in dwarf fortress, but I enjoy making new types of creatures for me to play with as well as new plants, which in turn make new brews. But, with the addition of new plants, that means I want my dwarves to grow them.  Unfortunately, I don't know how to add a new plant to be farmed, or where to go to do so. Fortunately, I know that many of you people do. The problem is not adding new plants, it's how to farm them.

If you've already got the plant done, it just needs these tags to be considered "farm-able":
[GROWDUR:x] -determines how long a plant takes to grow. 300 seems to be default.
[SEED:x:y:z:z:z:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:SEED] -Allows the plant to drop seeds. x is the singular name, y is the plural, and z is the color of said seed.
[(season)] -determines when it can be grown. If you want it grown all year long, use all four seasons ([SUMMER][WINTER], etc.)
[BIOME:x] -Determines where the plant can be found and whether or not it can be used by dwarves. By default, underground plants can be used by dwarves (and that's only if the plant is in that cavern area, but that's another issue)

Do note that mountains do NOT allow above-ground plants to grow in their biome.

Ah, it was the biome. Thanks for the info.
