Winter Crops in Stardew Valley 1.6: Powdermelon & Seed Access

Winter has an outdoor crop in version 1.6: Powdermelon. It takes seven days and does not regrow. Its seeds are not ordinary Pierre shop stock; this model assumes you already have the seeds and does not price their acquisition.

Modeled crop sales

Plant on day 1; stop at day 28. Normal quality, no professions or fertilizer. Direct crop sales; modeled seed cost deducted. Availability assumed; seed prices are references, not proof of access. Potato uses a 1.25 expected-yield approximation without Daily Luck. Random extras on other crops are omitted. Coffee Beans receive no Tiller bonus and use a 2,500g Traveling Cart special-stock seed reference. New 1.6 seeds and Ancient Seeds have no acquisition value charged.

The table uses the same crop dataset and calculation function as the tool. Change the date, seed access and quality in the calculator.

Other winter options need different accounting

Winter Seeds produce forage items, Fiber Seeds produce Fiber, and Tea Saplings are a different production system. A zero crop sale price in a generic seed row is not a useful profit comparison, so those entries are excluded from this tool’s rankings.
