Fast Answer
Gardening is the crop hobby. Blanc teaches the basics and sells seeds, fertilizer, and growth boosters. After the early gardening intro, you can place plant boxes, plant seeds, water them, and harvest crops when they finish growing.
Potatoes are the safest early profit crop. Tomatoes are faster, but they only win if you check your garden very often.
Blanc sells seeds
Visit Blanc for seeds, fertilizer, and boosters. Track him on the map if he is not at the shop.
8 plant boxes
The source guide lists 8 starter plant boxes, which is enough for a simple early farm route.
Potatoes are steady
Potatoes cost more than tomatoes, but each harvest has a much better margin.
Water every visit
Missed watering can delay growth, so check the garden whenever you return home.
Unlock Gardening And Find Blanc
Gardening opens early as you follow the tutorial and D.G. progress. If you do not have it yet, keep following the beginner route until Blanc gives you the watering can, starter seeds, and plant boxes.
Blanc moves during the day. Use this as a quick search pattern:
| Time | Where To Check |
|---|---|
| 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM | Garden Shop in Town Center |
| 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM | Town Square |

Open the map, select Blanc, and use the track action if you want the fastest route to him.
How Crops Work
- Buy seeds from Blanc.
- Place a plant box on your home lot.
- Plant one seed in the box.
- Water it whenever the crop needs water.
- Harvest when the crop is ready.
- Replant so the box does not sit empty.
Most vegetables and fruit grow in plant boxes. Flowers unlock around Gardening Level 3 and are planted directly in soil instead of plant boxes.
Crop List
The source guide lists these crops, seed prices, and unlock levels. Later growth times are still marked as unconfirmed, so check in game before planning a big batch.
| Crop | Growth Time | Seed Price | Unlock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tomato | 15 min | 10 Gold | Lv 1 |
| Potato | 60 min | 30 Gold | Lv 1 |
| Wheat | 4 hours | 95 Gold | Lv 2 |
| Lettuce | 8 hours | 145 Gold | Lv 3 |
| Pineapple | 30 min | 15 Gold | Lv 4 |
| Carrot | 2 hours | 50 Gold | Lv 5 |
| Strawberry | 6 hours | 125 Gold | Lv 6 |
| Corn | 12 hours | 170 Gold | Lv 6 |
| Grape | Unconfirmed | 160 Gold | Lv 7 |
| Eggplant | Unconfirmed | 135 Gold | Lv 8 |
| Tea Tree | Unconfirmed | 25 Gold | Lv 11 |
| Cacao Tree | Unconfirmed | 110 Gold | Lv 12 |
| Avocado | Unconfirmed | 180 Gold | Lv 13 |
Early Profit Crops
These values are useful for the first levels. They use the source guide’s base sell examples, so treat them as planning numbers.
| Crop | Level | Growth Time | Seed Cost | Base Sell | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tomato | Lv 1 | 15 min | 10 Gold | 30 Gold | 20 Gold |
| Potato | Lv 1 | 60 min | 30 Gold | 90 Gold | 60 Gold |
| Wheat | Lv 2 | 4 hours | 95 Gold | 250 Gold | 155 Gold |
| Lettuce | Lv 3 | 8 hours | 145 Gold | 400 Gold | 255 Gold |
| Pineapple | Lv 4 | 30 min | 15 Gold | 45 Gold | 30 Gold |
| Carrot | Lv 5 | 2 hours | 50 Gold | 130 Gold | 80 Gold |
Tomatoes can earn a lot per hour if you harvest exactly every 15 minutes. That is hard to repeat. Potatoes are easier for most players, and Pineapples become a nice active crop once Level 4 opens.
For long breaks, Wheat and Lettuce are better than leaving boxes empty.
Level Up Faster
Harvesting gives the most gardening progress. Planting, watering, and clearing weeds also help, but empty boxes do nothing.
Gardening Level Checklist
- Harvest crops as soon as they are ready.
- Keep every plant box filled when you have seeds.
- Water crops when you return home.
- Clear weeds instead of walking past them.
- Use fast crops while you are online.
- Use long crops before a long break.
- Buy more plant boxes when your level and gold allow it.
Fertilizer And Boosters
Fertilizer and growth boosters unlock around Gardening Level 2 and are bought from Blanc.
Fertilizer
Use it before watering to improve crop quality. Better star crops can sell for more or make better dishes.
Growth Booster
The source guide lists a 15-minute growth reduction. It is best on longer crops or timed batches.
Do not waste rare boosts
Use boosters when they help a plan. A cheap crop that is almost ready may not need one.
Daily Garden Routine
Simple Daily Route
- Check ready crops after the daily reset.
- Harvest everything that is finished.
- Clear weeds for extra gardening progress.
- Replant empty boxes before leaving home.
- Water the new crops.
- Choose short crops for active play and long crops for breaks.
- Cook spare crops before selling when you have a good recipe.
Common Questions
Where do I buy seeds?
Buy seeds from Blanc. He is usually at the Garden Shop during the day, but you can track him on the map.
What should I plant first?
Plant Tomatoes if you are watching the timer closely. Plant Potatoes if you want a steadier early profit route.
Should I sell raw crops?
Cook them first when you have the recipe and ingredients. Cooked food often sells for more than raw crops, but keep a small crop stack for requests.
Why did my crop take longer?
Missed watering can delay growth. Check your plant boxes whenever you return home.
Are flowers grown in plant boxes?
No. The source guide says flowers unlock around Gardening Level 3 and are planted directly in soil.
