Make one full circuit of the garden first
A compact garden routine that cycles through planting, care, growth, and collection tasks.
A practical first-session plan
Make one circuit of the garden before spending resources. Note which plots are empty, which plants display a care request, and which growth stage appears complete. Then handle urgent care first and group similar planting or collection actions together.
Plot note
Handle the most urgent need icon first
Look for plots or plants showing a need icon and handle the most immediate care task first.
Input to expect
Tap plots and tools, dragging care items only when the scene shows a path.
Recovery note
Revisit water and planting steps
If nothing can be collected, revisit water and planting steps rather than repeatedly tapping mature-looking plants.
Diagnose a stalled run
If a plant looks ready but cannot be collected, inspect its need indicator and the surrounding tools. A missed watering, planting, or care action can leave the plot visually advanced without making the next task available.

Where should I start in the garden?
Walk the whole garden once before spending anything: note the empty plots, the care requests, and the ready growth stages. Then take care of the urgent requests first and group similar planting or collection actions together.
A plant looks ready but will not collect — what now?
Check its need indicator and the tools nearby. The plot may still need water, a planting step, or care before the next task unlocks, even when it looks visually advanced.
