Check a planting decision
Spring Crops Bundle planting window
For the standard four-crop Community Center bundle only. Choose the day you would plant and water new seeds, allow for possible nights with no growth, and mark crops you have already saved. The estimate uses normal outdoor Spring growth, no speed modifiers, and a Spring 28 last harvest.
| Crop | Growth | Latest plant day with buffer | Estimated first harvest | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parsnip | 4 days | Spring 24 | Spring 6 | 22 days of margin |
| Green Bean | 10 days | Spring 18 | Spring 12 | 16 days of margin |
| Cauliflower | 12 days | Spring 16 | Spring 14 | 14 days of margin |
| Potato | 6 days | Spring 22 | Spring 8 | 20 days of margin |
Every missing standard crop is still within the calculated outdoor planting window. Obtain the seeds, keep the plots accessible and water for the assumed number of growth nights.
This checks calendar arithmetic, not seed availability, current weather, prior planting, an actual harvest or an unlocked Pantry. A dry-night buffer is your allowance for missed growth, not a forecast. If your save uses remixed bundles, read its in-game slots instead. Green Bean needs a reachable trellis edge.

Check which bundle your save actually has
The standard Pantry Spring Crops Bundle asks for one each of Parsnip, Green Bean, Cauliflower and Potato. Completing this one bundle does not repair the Greenhouse: the cited Wiki says the whole Pantry must be completed. Put one harvested item of each needed type aside instead of selling everything.
Remixed bundles are an advanced new-save option. Their Spring Crops Bundle draws four items from a larger pool, so a fixed four-item checklist can be wrong. Inspect the in-game bundle screen and transcribe its four slots first.
| Save setting | Check first | Planting decision |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Community Center | Pantry Spring Crops slots | Grow one each of the four named crops |
| Remixed Community Center | The four slots displayed in this save | Grow only the shown requirements; do not assume the standard list |
| Joja route | Your active route | This Community Center bundle plan is not your objective |

Plant long growers first; treat last dates as zero-buffer limits
Crop growth excludes the planting day. A seed planted and watered on Spring 16 with a 12-day growth time is mathematically ready on Spring 28, but even one dry growth night makes that plan too late for an ordinary outdoor Spring crop. Use the checker above to enter your own planting day and possible missed-growth nights; earlier planting is safer than aiming for the limit.
Most farm maps supply Parsnip Seeds at the start; Meadowlands is the documented exception. Check actual inventory before following a parsnip-only opening. Green Beans grow on an impassable trellis, so place the first one on an edge instead of blocking access to the other plots.
| Required crop | Normal first growth | Latest Spring plant day* | Practical priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cauliflower | 12 days | Spring 16 | Buy and plant first; leave a buffer |
| Green Bean | 10 days | Spring 18 | Plant early on an accessible trellis edge |
| Potato | 6 days | Spring 22 | Plant after the two long growers if seed access is limited |
| Parsnip | 4 days | Spring 24 | Reserve one from an early harvest or grow a replacement |

Worked calendar: Spring 2 planting
Suppose all four seeds are planted and watered on Spring 2, and every needed growth night is watered. The normal growth arithmetic gives Parsnip on Spring 6, Potato on Spring 8, Green Bean on Spring 12 and Cauliflower on Spring 14. Save one each. This is a calculation from cited crop times, not a claim that a real save had the seeds, unlocked the Pantry, or achieved these harvests.
If one growth night is missed, add one day to that crop's expected harvest. Rain and modifiers can change what you actually see. Recount watered nights from your own planting date before deciding a crop is broken.
- Read the four bundle slots in-game. If they differ, switch to a remixed-specific plan.
- Check the farm map and seed inventory; obtain missing seeds rather than assuming Meadowlands starts with Parsnips.
- Reserve four reachable tiles, putting the Green Bean trellis at an edge; plant and water the slow crops early.
- Write planting day plus normal growth time beside each crop, then add any missed growth nights.
- Move one harvested item of each required type to a reserved chest slot until delivery.

If the checklist fails, diagnose the assumption
The last-date table is a boundary, not a recommendation. Its dates provide no safety margin. Outdoor Spring crops that are not ready before the season changes normally wither. A missing crop in a remixed bundle is a settings mismatch, not a farming failure.
| What happened | Check | Next move |
|---|---|---|
| Expected harvest did not appear | Planting date and any missed watering night | Shift the estimate by dry nights; plant earlier next time |
| Bundle asks for another crop | Advanced new-save bundle setting | Use your displayed slots and the remixed reference |
| No starter Parsnip Seeds | Whether the map is Meadowlands | Obtain seeds separately and adjust the first-week plan |
| Cannot walk through bean row | Trellis location | Keep a reachable side open for future planting |
| Cauliflower is immature on Spring 28 | Did it start after Spring 16 or miss water? | Do not count on a normal outdoor Summer harvest; plan an earlier Spring attempt |

Record the result you actually observed
Write down platform/build, bundle setting, farm map, seed, planting day, missed water days and actual harvest. If your save differs from this calendar, that record identifies the assumption to correct without presenting editorial arithmetic as hands-on testing.
Use the related first-week guide for a broader routine; use the farm-map guide before starting a new save with different starter items.

- Read your actual standard or remixed bundle slots.
- Reserve one item of each required type.

Frequently asked questions
What does the standard Spring Crops Bundle need?
One each of Parsnip, Green Bean, Cauliflower and Potato. A remixed save may show a different set.
Is Spring 16 safe for Cauliflower?
It is only the no-missed-water mathematical limit for a Spring 28 harvest under normal 12-day growth. Plant earlier to leave a buffer.
Does this bundle unlock the Greenhouse?
No. Completing the whole Pantry unlocks it, according to the cited bundle reference.
