The first step to planting seeds in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is to hoe the ground to till the soil and get it ready to accept seeds.
How To Use the Hoe
To use the Hoe, just stand in front of a tillable area and use the action button.
Each swing of the basic Hoe will cost you 2 STA.
Sometimes you can get coins or even a Power Berry by tilling the ground in your field.
Tip: A mole can also pop up on your farm while tilling land – and if you successfully whack 100 moles, you can get 1 Farm Degree Point to add to your achievements.
Keep hoeing the ground until you’ve created at least a 3×3 square of tilled soil. Then you can finally use the seed bag to cover the whole area.
Remember to water the seeds using the Watering Can after you’ve planted them!
