Top Picks (13 Days Left)
Radish
Fast 6-day route that still fits cleanly in a 13-day window and gives practical late-Summer liquidity.
Wheat
Low-cost safe bet if you want broad tile coverage with lower timing risk near season midpoint.
Hot Pepper
Decent fallback if planted in time; regrow can still provide a few returns in the remaining window.
Hops
Can still work if your daily labor is stable, but execution burden is high compared to safer options.
