Also in a FC room. That's 4 onions that can be growing while trying to get more seeds.

I'm pretty sure he talked about garden too but I'll let it lie given I don't have a link and maybe i needed more sleep. Might have been in a live letter translation on Reddit. Furniture placement was definitely mentioned as well.
Edit: They were looking into alts sharing houses too at one point :P.
Yes, I have access to a single garden patch, which I'm grateful for, but it is far from optimal. The seeds I'm trying to get a surplus of are the tantaplant seeds. I've found that three patches with tantaplants planted in the corners is the most efficient way to maintain a steady supply of onion seeds.
References to "garden" in translations can be misleading. In JP, the outdoor area of a house plot is referred to as the "garden". When we see "garden furniture" in a translation, they're referring to outdoor furnishings in general, not garden patches.
As Shibi said, to our knowledge nothing was mentioned about growing estate crops in addition to placing furnishings. When we got our first real look at Island Sanctuary, the infographics specifically stated it was not for growing estate crops (what we currently grow at out houses). It doesn't mean that they can't change their mind about it, but it also doesn't mean they will.
It is no worse than people who have small houses and do this with a single plot.
As for "three patches" it sounds like you have quite a sizable access to plots and now want even more!!! Most people don't even get three, and the subset of most with access, do it in small with one.
For many years in my small home, I would swap my plots, build the tantal plants with the krakka/eggplant loop, then store that and pull out the jute/tantal loop plot when I had enough, always leaving Jute sparkling. When I had run out of Tantal, I'd swap the plots again. Of course, some would prefer to swap that, leaving tantals as the sparkler and doing a jute loop with Jute+Azema Rose/Voiddrake/Lavender in order to get the jute byproduct too. Azema does provide a lot more jute seeds under it's RNG than krakka/eggplant does.
