Spring: what does a delayed start change?

Pick the date you need before picking a repeat crop

Consider a Spring 12 planting when you want a first harvest by day 20. Beans take four initial days, reaching day 16, while Tomato takes ten and reaches day 22. Both are repeat crops, yet only Beans meet that particular target. Tomato's shorter four-day repeat interval cannot help with a deadline that comes before its first harvest.

If your target moves to day 22, both first dates fit. Now the rest of the schedule becomes useful: Beans on Spring 12 give 16, 21 and 26; Tomato gives 22 and 26. You can compare the visits you would need to make without treating the extra Beans round as a yield or value ranking.

Check a delay against the right part of the record

A new planting always owes the full initial growth wait. Use the regrowth field only after the first calculated harvest. Beans make the distinction especially visible: four days to start, then five between harvests. Remembering only the quickest number would put later visits on the wrong days.

• Need an early first date? Compare initial growth days from your actual start.
• Want repeated visits from one planting? Open its complete date list after the first date fits.
• Replacing a single-harvest bed? Treat the new sowing as a fresh plan, even if the crop stays the same.

Use a last-start row as a boundary, then add your own margin

The table identifies the latest ordinary start that reaches a first harvest by Spring 28. It does not promise several rounds for a repeat crop. Tomato started on Spring 18 has only its first date on 28; Garlic can start as late as 24 because its initial wait is four days. Those are different deadlines for different crop records.

If you want a date before the final day, move the start earlier and recalculate. The day-18 and day-24 counts below narrow the timing candidates; they do not check which seeds you can obtain. Every table plan uses daily watering, normal fields, no fertilizer, buffs or Myco, timely harvesting and the selected season only.
