Potato seeds cost 150 G per bag and are only available during Spring. Each seed bag will cover a 3×3 area on your field.

After tilling the ground with your Hoe, you can equip the seed bag from your toolbox and plant the Potatoes. Make sure to water them at least once a day using your Watering Can!

If it’s raining, there’s no need to water your crops manually.
