Fall 20: Bok Choy Fits Twice; Yam Is Too Slow
Normal Bok Choy planted on Fall 20 can harvest on 24 and 28. Normal Yam takes ten days and misses Fall. Do not use a three-day Yam assumption when buying late-season seeds.

Exact normal-growth dates
Planting day 20 is included in the 9 days left. Each growth day needs an overnight step. These outdoor scenarios assume daily watering, no professions or growth fertilizer, normal produce and no random extras.
| Planting choice | Harvest date or projected maturity | Result before other farm costs |
|---|---|---|
| Bok Choy | 24, 28 | 2 × (80 − 50) = 60g/tile |
| Wheat | 24, 28 | 2 × (25 − 10) = 30g/tile |
| Yam | Winter 2 | No Fall harvest |
| Pumpkin | Winter 5 | No Fall harvest |
The purchase and replanting constraint
Fall 24 is Wednesday, so the second batch requires seeds held in advance or another available supplier. Crops do not grow through Winter merely because the projected date looks close. Powdermelon has its own Winter seed access and growth timing; it does not preserve an unfinished fall crop.
Set the tool to this date
Compare Fall 20 with Year 1 Pierre seed types. That filter checks seed types, not a guaranteed open shop. Use “already own seeds” for festival or unlocked seeds in your inventory. These examples count guaranteed produce and omit random extras. Match the stated seed source and daily watering assumptions when comparing tool output.
Crop timing references: Bok Choy, Wheat, Yam, Pumpkin. Pierre’s opening schedule explains Wednesday closures before Community Center restoration.
