Farming Issue

When you're farming outdoors you need outdoor plant seeds to plant there. The seeds you can buy from the dwarven caravan and bring at embark are for indoor farming only.
Does this explain your behaviour?

You can also use plant gathering to get outdoor plants. Brew them, or wait for a dwarf to eat them, to get the seeds.

If your farming outdoors, you can't farm outdoors at all in a mountain biome. Period.
If your farming indoors, just muddy the ground.
If it still doesn't work, it's probably a bug.
Tilla:
Just ran into this today, I channelled into a stone room and wet every tile, but nobody ever farmed on the plots I put there, even after I sealed it all with a new roof.

So it was once exposed to light?
Did you use above-ground plants? Or below ground?
