Plan toward a goal

Choose a crop for the date you need

Set a deadline and required harvest rounds, then compare schedules that meet those constraints.

Decide what must happen by the deadline

Start with the harvest occasion you need, then decide how many rounds must arrive before it. If your goal is three visits to a productive bed, enter three rounds. Adding more plants cannot turn two scheduled visits into three, and a round does not specify how many produce items you will collect. Keep the calendar requirement separate from the size of the bed.

Choose the season and the day you can plant, then enter your deadline. Dates run from 1 to 28 within that season, and the deadline can be the planting day or later. A same-day target is allowed, although none of these crops matures immediately. Required rounds must be a whole number from 1 through 28.

Keep or relax the requirement deliberately

Suppose you can plant on Summer 10 and want three rounds by Summer 24. Strawberry provides dates 16, 19 and 22, so it fits. Tomato provides 20 and 24 before the window closes. Day 24 is included, but that still leaves Tomato one round short. If two rounds would serve your purpose, change the requirement to two: both schedules then qualify.

For a longer repeat schedule, try Beans from Spring 4 with five rounds required by Spring 28. The dates are 8, 13, 18, 23 and 28. For a late one-round choice, try Winter 23 through Winter 27. Lettuce reaches the deadline on day 27; Rainbow Chard does not. Each choice follows the requested dates without claiming that the crop is available in your save.

Use the last start as a decision boundary

If you can sow earlier, compare your proposed day with the latest start shown for each match. For a repeating crop, subtract growth days from the deadline, then subtract one regrowth interval for every required round after the first. Written together: latest start = deadline − growth days − ((minimum rounds − 1) × regrowth days). A result before day 1 cannot fit this seasonal window.

If you prefer a single-harvest crop, ask for one round. More rounds would require new independent plantings, which this finder does not schedule automatically. When nothing matches, choose which constraint can move: plant earlier, allow a later deadline or ask for fewer rounds. An empty list is a timing result, not a prediction that your plants will die.

Check the rest before committing the bed

Open a matching crop’s full plan to see the remaining season through day 28. That plan starts with twelve plants and lets you adjust the quantity. It may list dates after your chosen deadline; those extra visits belong to the full-season schedule and do not rescue a missed target here.

All dates assume daily watering, harvests on time and ordinary growth without fertilizer, buffs or Myco. Matches use eligible timing records and sort by first harvest, then name. Use that order to read schedules, without treating it as a profit ranking. Finally check seed acquisition separately. The query has no inventory or progression inputs, so a crop can fit your calendar while its seeds still need attention.

The harvest you need

Find crops that fit your dates.

The target day is included. All dates must belong to the same season.

One round is one scheduled harvest of the same planting. Single-harvest crops are not automatically replanted. Seed access is not checked.

Matching crop records

Full plans open with 12 plants and continue through day 28, so they may show later harvests than this target table. You can change plant quantity there; it does not change dates. These are timing matches, not a yield or profit ranking.

Ordinary fields, daily watering, no fertilizer, buffs or Myco, and harvesting on maturity. Read the calculation model. Check seed acquisition and its limits separately.
