Case note · Tomato
Twelve Tomato plants, five dates to remember
A Spring 1 Tomato bed shows how a long first wait becomes a regular harvest rhythm.
Work through the choiceGoals, constraints and planting choices
What should you plant next?
Start with a planting situation: an early bed, a late start or one day left to decide. Compare the timing consequences, then choose a plan that fits your goal and the model’s limits.
Choose a crop for the date you need
Set a deadline and required harvest rounds, then compare schedules that meet those constraints.
Check the seed before committing to a crop
Choose your next access step from ordinary discovery, Moon Cave progress or a completed Nursery restock condition.
