2 Your First Crops

When you start the game, you'll have access to basic seeds in the Seed Shop. Here's what you should plant first and why:

Recommended Starter Crops

Crop Seed Price Avg Value Growth Time Multi-Harvest Why Choose
Carrot 10 20 ~6.5 sec No Fastest growth, good for learning
Strawberry 50 15 each ~10 sec Yes (4 max) Multi-harvest = more profit per seed
Blueberry 400 20 each ~105 sec Yes (13-14 max) High yield, excellent for mid-game
Orange Tulip 600 850 ~60 sec No High value flowers, good profit margin
Pro Tip: Start with Carrots to learn the mechanics, then transition to Strawberries for consistent income. Once you have 5,000+ Sheckles, invest in Blueberries for the best early-game returns.

3 Earning Sheckles Efficiently

Sheckles are your primary currency. Here's how to maximize your earnings at every stage of the game:

Early Game (0 - 100,000 Sheckles)

  1. 1
    Plant Carrots continuously

    With 6.5 second growth time, you can harvest many cycles quickly. Each Carrot sells for ~20 Sheckles.

  2. 2
    Redeem active codes

    Current codes: RDCAWARD, BEANORLEAVE10 (10,000 Sprouts)

  3. 3
    Transition to Strawberries

    Multi-harvest crops give you 4 fruits per plant. Better profit per seed spent.

Mid Game (100K - 10M Sheckles)

  1. 1
    Invest in Blueberries

    At 400 Sheckles per seed and up to 14 fruits per plant, Blueberries offer excellent ROI.

  2. 2
    Get your first pet

    Save 1,000,000 Sheckles for a Common Egg. Pets provide passive bonuses.

  3. 3
    Buy a Basic Sprinkler

    At 25,000 Sheckles, sprinklers speed up growth and increase crop size.
