Planning your seasons in Meadow Market

Meadow Market is relaxing, but a little planning makes it far more satisfying. The biggest beginner mistake is planting whatever you have without thinking about the season.

Each crop only grows in its window, so I started mapping my plots by season before planting anything. Group short-cycle crops near the stall so restocking is quick when travelers show up.

Pay attention to the villagers' shifting requests. Their tastes change with the calendar, and stocking what they want ahead of time means fewer missed sales.

It's a gentle game with no fail state, so none of this is required — but a tidy, seasonal farm turns a cozy time-killer into something you actually look forward to tending.
