Planting Crops in Stardew Valley
Planting crops is one of the basic skills that a player has to learn in playing Stardew Valley. Aside from the fact that it will definitely not look like a farm if there are no healthy plants growing, these are also considered a necessity as they can give essential produce that can be crafted into something else. However, the player needs to replant upon harvest which sounds like tedious work. With that, it is just right for you to learn about the crops that regrow.
There is a total of 44 crops in Stardew Valley, but some of these are not easily obtainable. All of these can grow on your farm, but only during the specific season it can tolerate that is why there are seasonal seeds. Aside from the land on your farm, you can plant on any tilled land on the map.
All Crops That Regrow
Among the 44 crops in Stardew Valley, only 15 of them are capable of regrowing.
Regrowing pertains to the ability of the plant to bear another flower or fruit after harvesting. Each crop has a different time requirement until the seed becomes a mature plant. Once the plant becomes fully mature, it will be ready for harvest. But remember that only plants that regrow remain on the soil after harvest as they prepare for another bearing.
Similar to how plants are in the real world, there is also a specific season where they bloom and wither. It is important to note that no crops can grow during the winter season. Although you can freely plant at any time, the growth and the production of its fruit are not guaranteed.
Here are all the plants that regrow in Stardew Valley including their best season.
Spring Crops
During spring, there are three crops that can regrow. Once the calendar reaches the 1st of Summer, all regrowing Spring crops will automatically wither and die.
Coffee Bean
The first spring crop that you can enjoy the bearings for a long time is Coffee bean. Unlike other seeds, you cannot easily obtain a coffee bean by purchasing it from Pierre’s General Store or from JojaMart. To obtain a coffee bean, you have to go to the Traveling Cart and buy it for 2,500 gold. Another way of obtaining this is by defeating Dust Sprites which has a 1% chance of dropping a coffee bean.
It takes 10 Stardew Valley days before the seed fully matures. Upon harvesting, it will take another two Stardew Valley days to regrow the coffee beans.
A coffee bean can be sold for 15 gold, 18 gold, 22 gold, or 30 gold depending on its quality.
Compared to other fruits and bearings, the coffee bean is not edible. However, you can make a Coffee by placing five coffee beans in a keg for two hours. Consuming coffee can give the player a movement speed buff for 1 minute and 23 seconds. If not for consumption, this can be sold for 150 gold.
Green Bean
Next to the coffee bean is the green bean. For this one, you can obtain the Bean Starter by purchasing it from Pierre’s General Mart for 60 gold or from JojaMart for 75 gold.
For the crop to fully mature, the player has to wait for 10 Stardew Valley days. After harvesting the green beans, it will take another three days to produce another batch of green beans.
The good thing about green beans is that they can be sold for a good price—a normal quality costs 4 gold, silver quality costs 50 gold, gold quality costs 60 gold, and iridium quality costs 80 gold.
Aside from selling the raw material, you can opt to consume it and enjoy at least 25 energy and 11 health to at most 65 energy and 29 health. Moreover, you can also use two green beans in cooking a Bean Hotpot that can increase your max energy by 30 and magnetism by 32 for seven whole minutes. This also replenishes 125 energy and 56 health.
Strawberry
The last spring crop to have is Strawberry. This sweet fruit’s seeds are actually pretty hard to come by. You can only obtain a Strawberry Seed every Egg Festival which is on the 13th of Spring. It costs 100 gold.
A strawberry plant takes eight days to be fully matured, and four days for it to regrow. A normal harvested strawberry costs 120 gold when sold. For silver quality, it can be sold for 150 gold, while gold quality sells for 180 gold. Lastly, an iridium-quality harvest has a value of 240 gold.
