WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

A tended garden after the first crops are available, with seed storage nearby.

The Gardeneer Hat reveals crop requirements and growth-stage clues when inspecting plants. Use it to sort seeds by preferred season and nutrient demands before planting a large grouping. It supports decisions; it does not supply seeds or tend the crops for you.

How to farm

Before you go

Gardeneer Hat
Crop plants to inspect
Seeds and separate storage for sorting

Put on the Gardeneer Hat and inspect a growing crop.
Note its displayed growth-stage clues and requirements for the next care check.
Inspect the different crop types you intend to keep in the garden.
Sort seeds into groups by crop and seasonal suitability.
Compare each group with current Farm Soil nutrient conditions before planting.
Plant only a manageable grouping whose needs you can meet.
Return to inspect plants as they grow and revise the seed plan when conditions change.

Farming tips

Sort seed reserves before harvest surplus is used for cooking, so planting stock remains available.
Keep the hat inspection as one part of care; still water, supply nutrients, and tend when required.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat inspections and sorting whenever new crop types or seasonal plans change; the hat’s information remains useful across planting cycles.

Common mistakes

Assuming inspection guarantees a good harvest: follow the indicated needs throughout growth.
Mixing all seeds together after sorting: store crop types separately to preserve the plan.
Planting a large family based on one plant’s needs: inspect each crop type you include.
