Potato seeds are the first seeds able to be grown in Farming. They may be planted in allotment patches to grow Potatoes. They can be found randomly while picking potatoes from a field. They may also be obtained by pickpocketing Master farmers, by purchasing or stealing them from Olivia's seed stall in Draynor village, or occasionally as a reward when running favours for the Wise Old Man. You can purchase up to 500 potato seeds every 4 hours on the Grand Exchange.
A nearby gardener will ask for 2 buckets of compost to watch over your growing potatoes.

Players stealing from Master Farmers in Draynor Village usually drop potato seeds because they are too low for their farming level. Potatoes are the lowest level crop a player can grow.
