FAQs
Plant detail follow-up questions
Use the FAQ area for interpretation questions, not for repeating the stat block.
Is Carrot worth planting after the early game?
Usually not. Once you can afford Strawberry or Blueberry seeds, the repeat-harvest upside outpaces Carrot's single-harvest speed.
What makes Carrot the best starter crop?
Lowest seed cost (20 Shillings) combined with the fastest growth time (18 seconds) means you can reinvest sooner than any other option. You profit 10 Shillings per cycle, which adds up fast at this speed.
How long does Carrot take to grow and what is it worth?
Carrot grows in 0.3 minutes (18 seconds) and sells for 30 Shillings. The seed costs 20 Shillings, netting 10 Shillings profit per harvest. That is roughly 33 Shillings profit per minute if you replant immediately, making it the fastest cash-per-minute starter.
