*[Me, making Hot Pepper Wine]:* "My goals are beyond your understanding."
That sounds amazing but aren't they a vegetable so it'd be juice? Granted Hot Pepper Juice also sounds horrible, but I'm not sure if you can actually make wine from them
@@dwell7315 according to the wiki it’s technically a fruit crop, but sometimes there’s discrepancies. I’ll have to check after I get home from work.
@@Intrafacial86 yeah you're right, it feels wrong but yup, it's a fruit. Now I want to know what hot pepper jam tastes like....
@@dwell7315 (sorry if you knew this already) people put peppers in jam in real life! It’s really good actually, idk about having an jam with exclusively peppers though
Shane will approve.
This is all so foreign to me. I thought Stardew was a game about getting away from the rat race of making money. I just like to plant a wide variety of crops because the variety looks good and I know how they taste in real life, so it’s fun to grow them in the game
Exactly lol, I love the dichotomy of this, but hey, it's bound to happen
People will always find a way to optimize the fun out of a game.
Stardew: capitalism is bad and kills personality
Stardew fans: “anyways i love capitalism this game is only good for optimizing profits”
If I didn't need excessive amounts of money to fix the town that Lewis has chosen to leave in shambles while he makes a gold statue of himself, I wouldn't focus on the money
It's in human nature to get the most out of something, but it's always hilarious when someone notices the hypocrisy between the game's morals and the people playing
Tea bushes are solid S tier. But not for the tea leaves. They are perfect for fencing. They look like hedges, don't need watered, never deteriorates, stays around all year, even in winter, with the added benefit of having a sellable crop at the end of a season. Also can be made into tea in like a few hours. I stopped using fences once tea saplings came in. They are also super easy to craft.
Also, Blue Jazz gets used in Lucky Lunch which gives you +3 to luck. That is damn good for mining and makes Blue Jazz honey which is better than just regular honey.
I always grow a crop of Blue Jazz and have a Sea Cucumber fish pond just for lucky lunches to use when my magic rock candy runs out in skull caverns :)
@@sydknee7136 I have a sea cucumber pond too and my bee hives gets a seasonal flower bed planted every season.
Tea saplings surprisingly can also make good money if you sell them as saplings, since they cost 500g each. They make more than tea leaves and green tea for some reason, and since you can craft many of them in one go, it's a nice way to get early money in the game.
Not that anyone cares, but I made a Green Tea farm recently since I thought it would be interesting to build a farm centered on tea 🍵and I have to say, I looove those little saplings now, I think they're underrated. Caroline's cut scene when you get them it's also probably one of my favorites as well lol
@@laly2482 totally agree, now that this is in the game early foraging is completely different. I care so much more about fiber now because I used all mine crafting these. They're awesome, and now Caroline is one of faves too.
plus tea saplings sell for 500 each :)
"Why would you ever grow yams, screw yams"
-Seanie Dew, member of Pam's Yams
The self hatred is real.😂
At least he've put strawberries to B tier
@@cytruss2063 😂
Me who loves picking yams in game: :(
I only grow yams for linus
Fairy rose honey is actually pretty solid on the left side of the ginger island farm. The place where the ginger spawns are growable tiles, but they usually aren't worth planting a single item there - but put down a fairy rose, then surround it with beehives, and it's a pretty solid money maker even that late into the game.
But ginger ale
This blew mimmind and now I'm gonna have to change my ginger island farm
You can also use them on the border of the farm. A last row of fairy rose (doesn't have to be a full row, obviously) supports 5 rows (minus walkway access) of beehives on tiles that can't be tilled or otherwise used in any other way.
@@jadedoptimisttscrew them ginger ale I need them GREEN
They spawn elsewhere@@jadedoptimistt
Seanie Dew: Here’s a tier list so you know what crops to prioritize
Me: I’ll just grow equal amounts of every plant for the *true farmer experience*
Me every goddamn save file.
I always have enough plots to have at least 1 of each crop per season, and if I have extras I choose the ones that take the longest to grow.
I always grow a sprinklers worth of every crop to stockpile and them all the rest of the space goes to the most profitable crop
I always dot he game normally until I finished the community center and get the three candles, then I do whatever it takes to make the most money
I need 15 or 16 crops to grow on the island so it's easier to get acheiv
A lot of the vegetables where you ask “why would you grow this”… mostly recipes.
Garlic? Escargot
Artichoke? Artichoke dip
Radish? Red plate and salad
I could go on but I don’t want to.
Yeah, chasing true perfection is really annoying.
honestly most of the crops like that i only ever use bc of perfection, like the only reason i grow artichoke and garlic is to get the recipes, have 1 crop sold and garlic for gourmand
Garlic is pretty much staple in every kitchen. Sure it's not that profitable compared to other crops but that's the point: so more people can afford it. Same with eggplant and tomato. Pelican Town needs food supply more importantly.
This is too big brain for me I just think the flowers and amaranth are pretty
And Linus loves yams 🍠 I had him as my secret gift person for the the feast of the winter star my first year and was pretty grateful I grew some yams
fair
@@guard3745 just get a cactus fruit.
They really are pretty, and the color makes a lovely contrast on the farm in fall. The pickles sell for a nice amount, and amaranth is my preferred gift for Marnie too. I always grow a nice amount of amaranth in fall.
@@SeanieDew how do I make hot pepper wine exactly
Tea leaves are bad, but tea bushes are superior fences.
Mind is blown what a great idea!!
that is so smart wtf
So I am not the only one. They really make the most beautiful fences.
Can animals walk through them? Like your cows and stuff?
@@whack6102 Nope, can't walk through them and they do not deteriorate, so very good
You can tell when Stardew Valley crop tiers are made by non-Cooks!
"i don't know why you'd ever plant tomatoes" seanie how else am i supposed to make ungodly amounts of eggplant parmesean to take into the mines?
Eggplant too, nightshade are goated for cooking
Decent list, but there’s one factor I see being overlooked. When you’re low on cash you often can’t afford the better crops. Investing in the ones that produce a crop you can sell quickly better enables you to invest in the better crops, so they may be the better choice when you’re looking for a stepping stone.
i think thats what he means by "fast turnaround time"
Yeah I felt that way too kind of. Like I love all renewable crops cause they’re a one time price. Plus my set up is I sell all gold and silver crops and save the regular ones for jammers and kegs so I will continue to have steady profits well into winter.
also, similarly, there are crops you plant not for the return, but for the exp, like kale or bok choy. i mean, bok choy is insane for farming exp. im pretty sure its the best crop for that. its basically the child of parsnips and kale.
@@marcosdheleno Cool, didn’t even know that!
I love coffee beans as a bridge crop while I'm filling my greenhouse with ancient fruit. You don't need to use the seedmaker so you can fill the greenhouse so fast and just destroy them as you get ancient fruit seeds, PLUS coffee processes in like an hour or something crazy so you can rake in a nice chunk of change really fast. I always end up getting beans from dust sprites so it's very low effort and decent reward. The 2 day turnaround is annoying but like I can just choose to not harvest them sometimes, I still lose nothing.
I do the EXACT same thing, it’s so good getting the extra beans and it’s enough the get a permanent speed buff for a few weeks which is worth more than the gold it sells for.
I totally agree! My first file ended up being exclusively a coffee farm by year 3 or something-
Never planted coffee bean since getting java ring and combined with burglar ring
@@caretakercat7176 i love using these two so much i even used the forge to fuse the two
i use them and strawberries.
8:03 B-But Harvey, darling, you told me to diversify my crops this fall. Now you're actually encouraging me to plant Cranberries instead?
Blue jazz is used in lucky lunches. That's one helpful flower
My first summer I spent all my money on sunflowers because they costed the most, so I assumed they would sell for a lot, little did I know…
Also red cabbage isn’t even that red
Just like irl red cabbages
You better have bought from joja
He put tulips in F tear and I just kept screaming "FOR EVELYN GOTTA BE NICE TO GRANDMA"
Edit: I'm really fuckin happy that this is my most liked comment I've ever written. Out of all the trolling and terrible things I've said on this cesspool of a platform this is the most wholesome thing I've ever said and stand by. You have restored my faith in humanity and now I gotta work real hard to destroy it again.
Honestly yeah, gotta grow the tulips for grandma 😌
My favorite thing to do is go exploring the caves, Grandma doesnt have room for Tulips with all the diamonds she's dripping in.
I like getting fairy rose since both Evelyn and Jas like them.
@@lararys7765 + for the fairy dust (dont know if it write this way in english)
having a lot of fairy roses is really good if you have a lot of diamonds because it helps if you have the place to age the wines as they take two whole seasons to be ready, and with fairy dust you get them automatically and etc. ((rlly sorry if this have any gramatical mistakes here, english is not my first language

love how the most controversial things in stardew is crops, harvey and shane. like that's all we "argue" abt
@MarshiePlays yeah. hes just our sad little chicken man, leave him alone
(directed at stardew community /lh)
@MarshiePlays I feel like it’s in part because his story regresses once you marry him but also because a lot of people are salty over the candidate poll (including me haha) /lh
mushroom/fruit bat cave is the biggest one
@Lulu he’s a dick unless you get a bunch of hearts with him
@@shieldbug mushroom for profit, apple for calm play throughs. It’s not really an argument as much as it is some people thinking their play style is superior
For me, As long as you made a profit from the seeds you bought. Then you're doing it right.
So DONT BUY RICE OR CORN!!!! instead find rice and ignore corn
IIRC, pineapples are the best "I like flower pots but don't like replanting" crop, I think? [Aside from the need to get seeds in the first place, of course.] A niche application, admittedly, but good within that niche.
Mixed seed on the island
If you dont regrow crops in flower pot, you need to both water AND replant
When you get the flower pot it’s about the same time that skull cavern is still kicking your butt, and cactus fruit is a great source of hearts if you’re cheap, especially so cuz they’re on your way out the door. My personal reason for keeping them
Cactus fruit is also a loved gift for Sam, who I married in the game. I grow a couple of cactuses in my house so I can easily give him gifts all the time.
him putting summer spangle a quite easy loved gift for Caroline and sunflower another easy loved gift for Haley so low while putting unmilled rice in c tier made me livid (also coffee in c tier is just a crime)
Coffee beans got robbed. ;) I'd have slammed them right into S tier, but would have accepted A tier on the basis of the fact that they are a little inconvenient.
Corn is indeed a trap. I legit forget Eggplants exist.
I use Tea Leaves as decorative fencing, and most of them are in range of my junimo huts anyway.
yeah I would also put coffee in A or low S. seanie doesn't know what he's missin'!
Coffee is S tier for me, mining is my favorite thing to do in the game. So I end up getting quite a lot of coffee beans, plant just as few as like 20 coffee plants and you get hundreds of coffee cups. Which that alone is good, but with that, you can get dozens of triple shot espresso which is just so helpful.
Eggplants, are king. Eggplants and Blueberries are my favorite crops. I'll plant 256 Eggplants on my farm and it gives so much money. Not to mention how satisfying it is to harvest.
Buying one coffee bean on the first Friday of the game and watching them exponentially catapult you into riches is one of the most satisfying experiences I've had in this game
He did the coffee beans so dirty!! I always use them as a placeholder in my greenhouse until I get ancient fruit and end up with like 1000 coffees
Coffee beans are a pure utility crop for me. Profit is irrelevant. There is no reason to ever sell more than a single bean, and that's only for your permanent record. Make a line of nine kegs you can refill as you rush past them and that's a speed buff for the entire day.
I just came back to the game (I last played in the 1.2 or 1.3 era) and for late game I'm using an extra room in my house for a bunch of garden pots with coffee beans and deluxe retaining soil, and if harvesting/kegging them every other day becomes annoying, I can just wait until I need them and they'll be there waiting for me. The only actual inconvenience is that the triple espresso shot is on the second page of recipes.
You can grow Artichokes in year one by planting mixed seeds.
Pineapple is S tier because it's the most lucrative regrowable crop you can put in a garden pot with deluxe retaining soil. Once you establish a sewer filled with pineapples, a greenhouse filled with ancient fruit, and an island filled with starfruit, you have enough passive gold to never plant crops on you main farm again.
You can plant in the sewer???
@@liana8176 Using those pots that Evelyn gives the recipe for.
I’m sorry but who the fuck wants pineapple grown in a sewer. Imagine gifting that irl. Like ‘here you go Leah. Sorry it smells like someone defected on it…they did. But it’s organic!’
@@Loops-1 The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. lol
I think this is the first time I've heard someone talk about growing stuff in the sewer, at least as part of normal gameplay and not, like, DF planting Ancient Fruit literally everywhere for the hell of it... there are so many other places to throw down random pots lol. Quarry, railroad, even that weedy patch next to the community center... why the sewers? Why poopapples??
"Why would you grow tulips?"
So Evelyn loves me....
I juuuust need to say real quick, do NONE OF Y'ALL KNOW that green tea is a universally liked gift?! I always have a ton on hand to gift to all the villagers because they all like it, other than the kids, and it's loved by Lewis! EASY FRIENDSHIP POINTS PEOPLE!!
True, but it
Takes a lot of set up to make the tea plants in the first place
Takes up valuable keg space you could be using to make profitable wine
Takes up tons of time in order to become green tea
Have to befriend Caroline in order to do it
Make forage seeds in order to craft it, something which does need a bit of hunting around
Is generally a lot less easy than just digging up an earth crystal or buying pasta or something.
"Why would you ever grow this?" Uh, for the achievement?
Strawberry is A+ tier in a two-year challenge (e.g., Year Two Perfection).
Save 25 Strawberries from Year I (opportunity cost, 3300g). Get the Greenhouse in Fall I and ramp hard through Winter I with Seed Makers. (Do the same Ancient Fruit, of course, but they won't grow as fast.) You'll have about 600 seeds by Spring 1 of Year II.
Not only is it the most profitable Spring crop, but since it's regrowable you don't have to hoe or water on Summer 1 of Spring II, which is essential if you're looking to get three rounds of your Bigass Year Two Summer Starfruit Harvest (Plant 1, 10, 19; Harvest 10, 19, 28). You can't afford to hoe or water your whole farm on Summer 1, so having your field full of dead Strawberry plants makes a huge difference.
And I LOVE cooking in Stardew so I'm like SEANIE NO HOW WILL YOU MAKE SNACKS WITHOUT THEM 😭💀
cactus fruit is great for the skull mines or just health in general. they heal you a ton, you can find them for free in the desert, and they’re super easy to get continuously in your house if you get the best retaining soil because you never have to water it again after you lay it down. it’s underrated
Im aware tulips arent very useful but i will always grow them.
Theyre one of evelyns loved gifts, and if u give her a loved gift she says "you made an old lady very happy" and it always melts my heart.
Also whilst from an inventory management point flowers are annoying, i personally always love seeing them in an array of different colors in my inventory :) just cute lil gradients to have (also reminds me not to sell all of them at once for gifts lol)
i actually really like sunflowers now that sunflower honey is in the game. i just leave them planted all summer and fall and use the seeds they give me for the next year
I like the fact that some of this game's messaging is escaping from your 9-5-, monetized, quantity-over-quality-lifestyle (atleast if you go through the Community Center-path), and yet we instantly resort to tiering up the crops and valuing them by their monetary or utilitarian merit, thus probably building up a monoculture farm and only having money in sight again; it's a little bit funny lol
My friend’s father saw me and my friend play this game and told us “you gen z are silly”. Then he play with us in multiplayer. He is DA, part time data miner, he loving analyzing things so he can minmaxing his crops. I told him same things you’ve wrote in your comment.
He told me “in this game, the reward system is still reward enough for you to put in labour, you work hard and you earn more. Unlike irl, you work so hard to the point that it costs more to replace or promote you”
...me growing corn to make tortillas so that I can make lots of lucky lunches
Ymas are used in the community cetre, and they're also a loved gift of Linuses, I think they deserved more than D tier.
Cactuses too. Sam loves cactusfruit, so just being able to pluck them like twice a week helps you befriend him easily, while he otherwise has very bad gift options
Linus also loves cactus fruit and they are pretty good in the greenhouse
@@logannyf Yeah but Cactus Fruit is more of a late game item than Yams are. Most casual players won't have the desert unlocked yet in the first Fall, so it just helps. Yams defenitely aren't the best but like.. middle or top C? Cactus fruit really are pretty great though
Hey Sam likes Joja cola so that's what I always use early game to befriend Sam. They don't sell for much and frustrate the hell out of me when fishing so I just keep a stack of them to give to Sam whenever I see him. Much more convenient than Cactus fruit.
Sam also loves pizza, which you can just buy from Gus
@@mcgoopmcshoop6747 pizza is pretty expensive though
“Why would you ever grow yams?”
Because they’re a Linus loved gift! :3
I have an iridium sprinkler worth of coffee in my green house, after constantly having a speed boost i dont know if I can ever go back
I will argue for flowers. For honey production I use blue jazz poppies and fairy roses. Other then that they don’t have much use except fair roses do look nice :)
the only saving quality about cactus fruit is that it gives you a ridiculous amount of energy and health
"[Wheat] isn't a great crop that you grow a lot"
Me with my entire bottom room dedicated to hay harvesting from wheat and 300+ seeds from recycling the wheat back into seeds for more hay: "Yeah, not a lot at all"
Ignore my farm that is entirely dedicated to growing 3000+ wheat at time just for shits and giggles
Honestly I’m confused, cos when I did the maths on the different crops and profit per month, blueberries were the second best in summer, behind starfruit, I usually plant them around my junimo hut.
(I’m commenting from memory so if I can find the notebook I did the maths in I’ll edit it with numbers)
on raw value? yes. Considering artisan methods? no
@@SeanieDew ahhh I’m lazy and can never be bothered doing the artisan stuff
I actually really like wheat. By using speed grow you get a harvest every 3 days, it gives hay as you mentioned which can be hard to grow when you’re utilizing your whole farm, *and* turning it into bread makes it sell for 60 apiece. That’s 16.67g per day (taking seed cost into account) + hay.The only downside is that can be high maintenance.
That’s why you gotta invest in those quality sprinklers early on. Set up a small field of 9 sprinklers (72 places for wheat) and it’s like magic
Junimo huts my friend
I like flowers. I have this little sitting area by the little pond closest to my house and I plant flowers next to it, it looks really nice
I hate corn but have to grow it for the community center, cooking, and oil. After the first year I don't usually plant it, there's enough left over for years. Artichokes are great to put in preserve jars. I'm always looking for something to put in those. (I don't like using crops in them that are a lot more profitable in kegs.) Yams are good for that too but artichokes are more profitable since the seeds are half the price and they grow faster. You can get them in first year from mixed seeds. Red cabbage is a great crop to put in preserve jars too. Flowers in general are not profitable but good for gifting, needed for crafting if you're going for perfection, and sometimes they're good for honey. (Basic honey makes mead which is an easy loved gift for Willy.) Fairy rose makes valuable honey and is especially great on Ginger Island. Permanent passive income. You can get 25 or 30 beehives easily around one flower (I usually plant 4 around a cheapo sprinkler in case of accidents). That's around 24,000 - 28,000 gold every four days with artisan profession and no work once it's set up except gathering. Note that fairy rose honey is worth about the same as pickled pumpkin. A lot of these unprofitable crops have specific uses for cooking or gifts. For example, grapes make a great gift for Vincent. They have quality while snails don't. Hops are great - pale ale brings in good money as soon as you get kegs (and gold hops are a good energy source if you need one). I usually keep 5 or 6 hops plants in the greenhouse over the first winter, then move up to starfruit/ancient fruit as they become available in quantity and phase out the hops. (I'm usually slow getting to the desert, that's just me.)
I don't think you meant it in the way i'm taking it but I do kinda find it weird with this "expectation" that people would be growing starfruit/ancient fruit by the second year
meanwhile theres me and my friend in a co-op that have had like one starfruit and a few ancient fruit by the third year
Tea bushes make great fences that don't decay. I use them to pen in my animals, with one fence post for the gate to be functional. But, yes, I have more leaves that I can brew.
Honestly I would grow strawberries regardless of the profit as they are my favorite fruit, I save the last harvest and turn them into seeds so I can start growing immediately
Tea leaves are an amazing crop, but not for the reasons you would expect. The biggest appeal is that they are solid crops that never deteriorate or wither, as such, they have a use as a permanent fence, as long as you dont need to attach a gate to them. On top of that, they can be planted on untillable soil, so some farms have places almost designed for them, such as the grass patch next to the greenhouse on 4 corners. With all that in mind, the tea leaves themselves are a bonus, and dont forget how easy it makes gifting for caroline. Get 2 hearts, plant a few saplings out of the way, use the stockpile from the end of season to always have a like for caroline, or process it quickly into a love. Now that i think about it, it would not be hard to put a couple kegs in pierre's shop to have weekly tea nearby. Since you are already bringing her a leaf, just replace the kegs and use the product instead.
fairy rose's are just so pretty i keep growing them! Im a bok choy stan through and through though. Isn't it odd we are rating literal fruits and veggies? i love this fandom so much lol
lmao i turned my greenhouse into a cactus fruit/coffee bean factory
Seanie Dew: you never grow multiple tea bushes, you just have like one
me: uses tea bushes as a fence
Blue product is clearly the best. It goes S tier NOW
in my first full playthrough of stardew my goal was to romance sebastian because my little goth heart required it and I misread the stardew wiki and thought poppies were a liked gift for Sebastian and I grew like fifteen til spots for them because I didn't have frozen tears at that point (I was like actually terrified of the mines then lmao) and I was very upset that I made such a stupid mistake so now I have a forever nemesis of poppies.
Artichoke can be grown from mixed seeds in fall.
Cactus fruit is a good option for energy, especially if you need good stacks for the skull cavern. Their 3 day cycle can become repetive, but does synchronize well with fruit trees.
In spring, fishing is usually more profitable than having a lot of crops, especially since you only have regular sprinklers. So I tend to plant about 62 strawberries for XP and save up 20 seeds for my greenhouse, where I can grow enough to throw in the seedmaker for spring.
Just him making the ~Shadow Realm~ for the red cabbage gave me life
"Jaz is really annoying to try and court" why are you trying to court JAZ?????
Perfection is a very annoying task
@@SeanieDew Do you know what court means? It means to pursue someone romantically. Jas is a child.
@@marshmallowmountains4636 yeah what they said
@@marshmallowmountains4636 OOOP I HAVE LEARNED A NEW WORD I AM SORRY EVERYONE
The word you want here is "befriend"
The tea tree bushes are an excellent money maker early on. You can farm rep with Caroline pretty quickly, and unlock the tea trees in your first spring. The ingredients for making them you can gather, so they cost nothing to make. However, don't plant the tea trees. Just sell them. They sell for 500 gold each.
My only argument for cactus fruit is it’s a pretty good renewable food to take into the mines so I’ll have a couple in my green house. The rest of my choices that aren’t as profitable I know are cause I like the irl crop and it makes me happy :>
6:40 NOOOOO EGGPLANTS ARE EASY S+ TIER.
Mainly for mid-game, if you plant like 200 eggplants you'll get mega cash.
Coffee is great if you have more real-life-time than in-game time. Harvesting crops takes almost no time at all in game (during the picking animation, game time is paused!), so harvesting every other day just drains your actual human time. Or you use them around junimo huts.
Trellis crop only speedrun.
Coffee is definitely S tier- or st least A
I can't live without the speed bust
the way you mixed french and spanish when you said
"muy manifique"
The tulip is an evelyn favorite gift so if you really want to befriend Evelyn which I did in my perfection game they are the best thing to do
@MarshGamingPlayz she doesn't do anything special but she was nice enough so I wanted to befriend her and chocolate cakes also work
@MarshGamingPlayz she is sweet
For strawberries, I plant my year one plants, but keep back around 15 or so for a seed maker
Seanie: I can't see a reason I would ever grow artichoke
Also Seanie, to Liss: Artichokes are debatably the best crop in the game in my opinion
Blue Jazz for the lucky lunches 😭 I mainly grow stuff for food when I go mining
just started playing stardew vanilla. was an Mod only player. Now i know that potato, melon then pumpkin are the profit fruits each season before your wine monopoly
Fun fact about garlic - out of the spring crops it gives you the most XP per tile per watering day, surpassed only by rice because you don't water it
I always buy corn and didn't realize how bad it was till you said it in the video
Saying you do not like corn insults us Iowans
My only complaint about blueberries is that I don't have enough preserves jars to support their growth. 5 stacks of blueberries are sitting in one of my chests.
Blue jazz is good for the lucky lunch. ( I'm trying to be entirely self sufficient in my farm)
Amaranth is really pretty while growing, grows fairly quickly, is fun to harvest with the scythe, gets you friendship with Marnie, and the pickled amaranth sells for a pretty decent price at 490G a pop. It's something I always grow a bit of in fall to break up the monotony and to make the farm look nice. I would give it a solid B.
Actually, the more I think about it, I would boot amaranth up to an A. Pickled amaranth comes in just a little behind pumpkin juice for profits with the number of crops you can fit in, and I can plug amaranth into some empty beds once the remaining season is too short for another round of pumpkins. It's an underrated gem.
You forget blue jaz are used for lucky lunches, corn can make oil, iridium quality cactus fruits are great for keeping you alive when going to the skull caverns and fairy roses increase the chance of a fairy showing up to help one of your crops that are growing
I haven't played the game and I love imagining he is an ancient farmer who somehow became a streamer
You always make me smile Seanie (this is not related to the content of this video, I just get excited when you post)
Just started playing about a month ago after the 1.6 update came out and I will say Blueberries are kinda goated since you can get a ton of them and pop them in dehydrators for good cash. Dehydrators are just kinda goated in general if you play casually because you usually have a ton of fruit laying around and the dehydrators really come in clutch, especially for powdermelons!
The strabarry thing is fine if you plant a few in the green house and put them in the seed maker so you will have plenty when it is spring again
6:52 “Jas is really annoying to try to court” I’m praying that we have different definitions of “courting” lol
yr the only one who's commented abt this omg I was like HUH
If you are using the beach farm you can make a shed with the max amount of garden pots inside. Then load them up with pineapple seeds with deluxe retaining soil, its just free *dough*.
I will say, I know it’s pretty late, but once I got my house maxed, I used my south room to grow nothing but Coffee Beans before switching to tea, so I had 1000s of coffee drinks in my fridge for a while! Lol
Edit: Also I may be biased, but Garlic is my go to mass spring crop! I just love it! Lol
Edit 2: Same with Wheat, I grow that stuff by the thousands for 2 months so my animals are well fed for winter and it’s so fast and cheap!
I can tell you don’t care about cooking 😭
I love growing poppies cause they remind them of my grandparents :3 They had massive gardens in their yard including a huge patch of poppies. I loved them as a kid cause they were so unique with their fuzzy stems, and how the buds would rattle when you shook em
You said ancient fruit, starfruit, and sweet gem berry are all the best crop ever, so which is it?
All three in different categories.
Sweet gem is best fall crop, but seeds are hard to come by, but 200% profit and only losing 3k on a stardrop is great. Helps fill the drain on finances that buying lots of starfruit seeds then not selling starfruit in order to wine them causes which a nice lump sum near the end of autumn ready for winter upgrading.
starfruit is best summer crop, and seeds are easily available in bulk this is the heavy lifter while you build up ancient fruit seeds.
Ancient fruit best longevity, since they're regrowable, best value for money since seeds are free, hard to acquire until you get yourself a seedmaker, but once you have some in the greenhouse you're permanently set,
I feel like something that would make trellis crops better would be that they stay for all the seasons, they wouldn’t grow but the sticks would stay and start growing in the correct season again… and for regular crops that the quarry scythe can harvest crops or with an upgrade in the volcano
I had a lot of tee plants in my house 😂
I just love going out with a cup of tea and a cup of coffee
I think that something going for radishes is that it is weirdly really close to an universal like, as everybody likes it and only 5 people dislikes it, so I think they have use as an all rounder gift before you have too many fruits
I still remember one of my first play throughs I was obsessed with strawberries. I grew as many as I could year 1 then saved them until I had a seed maker. Then throw them all in there, save scumming if I had to. And had a bunch of seeds for year two then just did the same thing again.
I hate scythe havesting because I don't have my scythe on me all of the time. So it's there for multiple days because I'm too lazy to walk back to my chests
I’m the opposite I have a mod(I know I’m a cheater sue me) where every crop is harvestable by scythe and it harvests many plants at a time
im still a rather new stardew player (only about 60 hours) and i find your videos so informative and fun. thank you for making these!
Blueberries, cranberries, and strawberries carried my first ever winter with jam and wine
An underrated strategy I like to use is to get a huge blueberry crop in the start of summer to use with seed makers to get a bunch of ancient seeds. Since you get a bunch of blueberries per harvest and each blueberry costs less than its seed, you both make money on the crop through processing it AND get a huge head start in making a giant ancient fruit farm happen at the start of year two.
Honestly I think corn really is common for new players to plant.
Not only because of the great attributes you see on them (multi-season muliti-harvest) but because corn has a great real life precedent for being a common crop for money.
i always keep a ton of tulips in the spring for easy gifts + befriending the sweet grandma
The Traveling Cart was selling Ancient Seeds during my current save, I bought 10. I was in Spring 2 and was shocked 😂 I definitely agree on your rankings.
Poppies are a flower used in funerals and stuff or something which is why I think everyone hates them (except Penny--she probably just likes the flower anyway and she seems less superstitious since she hates rabbit's foot too)
Usually what I do is get the fishing rod, fish for about 5 whole days, buys every potato seed you can and plant them and theyll be finished about 1-3 days before the egg festival then simply buy as many strawberries as you can and thats basically min maxing spring your first year
I grow Yam... A LOT of it coz for the Glazed Yam dish (with sugar too) which is +200 energy and +90 health... I mean lol I like it too because it doesn't boost anything so it would swap any of my current boost~
Artichoke is good for pickling in the preserves jar. I'm so with you on the trellis crops I hate them. I'll keep a couple hops going but I hate everything about them you said haha
I'm stumbling on this late, but I LOVE harvesting coffee when I have the sprinklers and Jumino huts available. I usually plant half of my fields with coffee on Spring 1, and let my Juminos collect for the two full seasons. By Fall I just have to clear those fields and make room for Pumpkins or Cranberries, that I again ignore basically all month. I collect from the huts on Winter 1 and rake in the dough XD
