A Question For Gardening Experts

Hello there. Christo, my Level 146 Storm wizard, is at Rank 10 Gardening. However I stopped gardening a while back, and now my storage spaces on Christo are absolutely overflowing with seeds, so much so that I have to regularly sell items to prevent my backpack from filling up. Having to do this is extremely disruptive to me while questing. Now, there are two ways I can solve this issue. I can sell seeds and/or transfer seeds to one of my lower level wizards (fyi the rest of my wizards are only at Rank 1 Gardening). Here's the problem, though: I am not a gardening expert, so I am not sure exactly which seeds to sell, which seeds to transfer, and which seeds to keep. So I am posting here to get advice from gardening experts about what to do.

Below is a list of all the seeds I own on Christo (and how much of them I own). Can you gardening experts out there advise me on which seeds to sell, which seeds to transfer, and which seeds to keep? Thanks in advance.

  • Angel Oak (4)
  • Angora Bunny Ears (20)
  • Baby Carrots (12)

  • Boiled Peanuts (20)
  • Boom Shroom (2)
  • Bread Fruit Bush (5)

  • Key Limes (7)

  • Laugh-O-Dil (3)

  • Sour Pickle Fickle (4)
  • Sugar Khrystal (3)
  • Sunion (2)
  • Sword Fern (1)

P.S. I've already bought the maximum amount of Expand Backpack & Expand Bank Elixirs, so they won't be of any use here. And even if I could use them, they wouldn't be a good solution anyway since they would merely kick the can down the road.

Ok I wouldn't be surprised if other people would keep more (or less) than me but I'd personally keep the regular couch potatoes, evil magma peas, any ultra plants bc those are sometimes hard to get reagents for crafting, and these are a pain to grow but I keep sugar khrystals. You could use the other ones to gain gardening xp on your other wizards though.

Really you need to look up the seeds in the wiki and see if the things they drop appeal to you, if they are used as reagents in any recipe that interests you, or--if you like to garden for fun decor, if you like the look of the plants. A few general points:
1. Many players like to grow regular couch potatoes and evil magma peas for the pet mega snack drops. They also generate quite a bit of gold.
2. Never get rid of pink dandelions. With 25 pink dandelions you can craft yourself a seed vault. Honestly, I'd probably go farm the 6 more you need to do that and rid yourself of this problem for a while.

3. Ultra seeds can be hard to get and some are used as reagents eg for crafting mounts. I'd hold onto those.
4. If you can buy it from a vendor or easily in the bazaar, I wouldn't worry too much about getting rid of it if you have no immediate use for it. You can always buy it later if need be.

Thanks for the tips! How can I found out if a certain seed is used in a crafting recipe though? The wiki doesn't have that information.

I would keep the following seeds: Boiled Peanuts (20) Couch Potatoes (4) Evil Magma Peas (4) Fish on a Vine (11) Key Limes (7) These are great for leveling up a new gardener King Parsley (5) Pink Dandelion (19) Good for reagents or if you can get 25 you can craft a seed vault to store 100 seeds!!!
