I planted the star fruit and ancient seed in here. I should be using all excess energy chopping trees each day to build up a supply of sap and wood, which is why I upgraded my axe first. Mostly I want to use the basic fertilizer though, with some Speed-Gro on certain crops that will get the most out of it. Even if it’s just retaining soil, which is really cheap to make and would allow me to plant more by not having to water as much.

I took out some fence as I’ll be resizing this area to be slightly larger.Ī goal I have from now on is to use some type of fertilizer on everything I plant. I need 5 gold-quality melons for the bundle, so 36 should hopefully be enough if I was averaging about 15% gold crops last season with basic fertilizer. I dug out a 6 x 6 plot where the melons will go, and made enough fertilizer for them. Something strange is happening in the mushroom cave to make the planter boxes throb like this. Hmm, so I might need to start producing feed before getting chickens if I don’t want to have to buy it.

I was hoping another quest would start, explaining the basics of raising animals, but no such luck. The coop is done! I earned 100g for finally finishing that quest. I like the idea of having my fruit trees lining the path heading south toward the pond. Yesterday I bought an apple sapling from Pierre, so I had to decide on a spot for it this morning. Today will be focused on spending most of my cash to get a nice big batch of crops growing once more.Īpparently I’m making quick progress! I wonder if they say that to every new farmer though. The day looks a little brighter with more saturated colors.

Wow, hops like in beer? Daily harvests sounds like a great crop for getting my income flowing again.Īnd here’s my boring-looking farm again. Let’s see what “Livin’ Off The Land” has to say about the new season: Karl will need to plant some to catch up (should be easy since I doubt they take three months to grow in Stardew Valley). We’ve been having homegrown tomatoes with most every meal as they’re all beginning to turn red in the garden. Today is summer solstice, the longest day of the year which also marks the beginning of summer! It definitely feels like summer here in southern California – today’s high is 97F (36C) in my coastal city.
