Farming
Farming is an Artisanal Skill used to plant Seeds and grow Produce for Cooking. Seeds are planted in farming plots, either at the Homestead or at an Apartment's rentable location.
🌱 How to Farm
The Homestead Twins, Arthur and Mara, will introduce the player to basic Farming mechanics.

Occasionally, a crop may become Diseased — it will appear darkened and mottled.
Diseased crops can still be watered, but must be cured to harvest.
Hint: To water a Diseased crop, right-click it and select “Water.”
To cure a Diseased crop:
1. Craft Pesticide at the Witch Doctor’s 2. With Pesticide in your Bag, click on the diseased plant to cure it

🧺 Harvest
Once fully grown, click the crop to harvest your Produce!
If you're short on time, consider Trading with other players.
Some Events require harvesting specific crops (e.g. Strawberries during Lunar New Year).

💀 Crop Death
If crops go unwatered for several days, they will die and turn into wilted husks.
Click the dead crop to clear the plot and replant.

❌ Remove Crop
Want to cancel a crop early?
Right-click and choose Remove.
⚠️ You will permanently destroy the Seed and any potential Produce.
