Summer Seeds are a type of Crafted seed. The crafting recipe is labeled "Wild Seeds (Su)", but when crafted, the result is "Summer Seeds." Mature plants yield, at random, a Spice Berry, Grape, or Sweet Pea. Summer Seeds are the only wild seeds that can produce a non-forage crop, the Grape.
Summer Seeds are one of the season-specific crafted wild seeds, along with Spring Seeds, Fall Seeds, and Winter Seeds that produce crops normally found as forage. Note that while Farming Skill normally increases the chance to grow a quality crop, for these (and other wild seeds) it is the Foraging Skill which increases the chance to recieve a quality crop. Crows do not attack crops grown from {{subst:PAGENAME}}, so the use of Scarecrows is unnecessary.
Because the forage is spawned as items rather than being "harvested", a mature plant grown from a {{subst:PAGENAME}} is different to other crops. Firstly, it will be affected by the Botanist profession perk. Secondly, it will not be considered "in the ground" on the last day of its growth and may leave untilled soil in its place, and any fertilizer used will be lost in this case.
Summer seeds are a profitable recipe. A craft of Summer seeds yields 10 seeds worth data-sort-value="550">550g total, while a set of iridium ingredients for Summer Seeds only sells for data-sort-value="420">420g (data-sort-value="436">436g with the Tiller Profession).
