Keep Track of Your Crops

Another important point to make now is the importance of keeping a track of all your crops that you have planted and when they will be fully grown. Keeping track isn't difficult, but here are a few pointers to get you on the right track:

Plant your crops in solid blocks, so there are different sections that appear for each type. This will enable you to track their progress much more easily as each type of crop will be grouped together.

It's also a good idea not to plant the same type of crop at two different times. That's because it's very easy to forget about one of them and not go back to harvest until the later one is ready. By then you may have already lost your first crop. Planting all pumpkins at one time, and then all squash the next will make it much easier for you to remember what needs to be harvested when.

Also, try to plant one particular type of crop all at the same time, this means that they will all roughly be ready for harvest at once and you will avoid having the same types of crops growing all at different intervals.

One further thing I will mention about your crops is how quickly they will rot. You have the same amount of time to harvest your crop as it takes to grow it, so you will have to get back to your strawberries between 4 and 8 hours of planting them. If you know that there is no way you will get back to your farm for the next few days, then I suggest you plant some artichokes. As they have a 4 day grow time, you will have a total of 8 days to get back and harvest them.
