( Lesson 10 ) Rate of Rot

Share
This is especially important to keep in mind when you're planting crops that mature quickly. The window for harvesting any crop is the same as the length of time it takes that crop to grow. This means that pumpkins, since they take 8 hours to mature, will start to rot 8 hours after they're ready for harvest. You'll have to make sure you get back to your farm within 16 hours of planting your pumpkins then, in order to keep from losing them.
If you think you're not going to be able to check on your farm for a while, you may want to consider planting crops like artichokes. These will take 4 days to mature, but you'll have an additional 4 days to harvest them. This is a good way to keep your farm active if you're going to be away for a while. It's also a good thing to keep in mind so that you know what kind of window you have to get back to your farm before you first crop will start to wither.
