Your first farming cycle
Step
Everything starts on the path, where farmers are available to buy. Once purchased, a farmer walks to your farm, and that travel time is yours to use however you like. When the farmer arrives, seeds are yours to take.
- Buy a farmer head to the path and purchase one you see there.
- Use the travel time the farmer walks to your farm, so buy another or get your plots ready while you wait.
- Collect the seeds once the farmer arrives, take the seeds he has produced and equip them.
- Plant on a brown plot click any brown plot in your garden to put the seed in the ground.
- Wait for growth the plant will grow on its own from here, even if you close the game.

Harvesting and mutations
Tips
Once a plant is fully grown, you are not forced to harvest immediately. Waiting can pay off with a mutation — a rare change that gives the plant an unusual look or color. You can also invite friends to your garden to show off anything impressive you have grown.
- Leave a fully grown plant alone if you are hoping a mutation will appear.
- Show off rare mutations or standout farmers to friends who visit your garden.
- Your garden keeps growing while you are offline, so mutations can appear between play sessions.
Running multiple farmers
Table
One farmer is enough to learn the game, but more farmers running at the same time means more seeds being produced in parallel. The travel timing of each farmer is fixed from the moment of purchase, so buying them one after another naturally spaces out when their seeds are ready.
| Multiple farmers bought in sequence | arrivals are staggered, so new seeds come in more steadily. |
| More farmers overall | more plants in the ground at once, faster overall garden growth. |

Common questions
FAQDoes my garden stop growing when I log off?
No. Your farmers keep producing seeds and your plants keep growing even while you are offline.
Do I have to harvest a plant the moment it is fully grown?
No, there is no deadline. You can leave a fully grown plant where it is if you want to wait and see whether a mutation develops.
