Summary

• Some of the best springtime crops in Stardew Valley are the rarest, but good money can be made with smart planning.
• Save your year-one gold to invest in Strawberries at the Egg Festival, since they're one of the most profitable Spring crops.
• Flowers and Unmilled Rice have their uses but, as crops, don't sell for much gold.

Given that you begin playing on Spring 1, choosing which crops to plant in the Spring can beꦫ a pretty daunting task. Whether you’re new to Pelican Town or are just trying to make the most money possible, players often w🐓ant to know up-front how much money their hard work will bring in.

In our list, we’re ranking our pick for which crops you should plant in the Spring in Stardew Valley. Our picks are based on how much gold you’ll make per plant, th༺e ease of tending to them, and whether or not the crops grow back.

Updated on May 3, 2024 by Gabrielle Castania: Now that we've had time to get comfortable in the version 1.6 update, we're coming back to some of our older Stardew Valley content to make sure everything is accurate as of the most recent major update.

14 Blue Jazz

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Flowers are always a mixed bag to grow in Stardew Valley. While they're 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:aesthetically pleasing and can be used to flavor a variety of , they don't have much value on their own. does 🐈have the benefit of a cheap purchase price and a small profit. ꧙

It's also used to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:cook a Lucky Lunch, an essential if you're trying to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:boost your Luck.

However, Blue Jazz is also not used in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:any bundles or requests, and it doesn't particularly stand out as a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:special gift for NPCs. Grow a few for making , if you'd like, but otherwise, yo𒁃ur money is best spent elsewhere.

13 Tulip

Tulip Seeds cost as much as , but they grow significantly slower and sell for a few gold less per plant than Parnsips. Like most other flowers, it's not used in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:any bundles, nor in any cooking recipe. Evelyn does 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:love getting them as a gift, though, and most townsfolk 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:at least like them.

Though not a lot of time or resources are lost by cultivating this crop, are still best avoided. If you're just looking to spruce up the appearance of your farm instead of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:making money, though, Tulips are a must-buy.

12 Unmilled Rice 🏅

Unmilled Rice can also be obtained 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:from Fishing (in treasure chests), as loot drops from Grubs and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a few other monsters, or can even be dug up from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Artifact Spots during the Spring. You'll likely end up with enough Unmilled Rice by accident, so it's not really🙈 worth it, in our opinion, to buy it.

is a net negative to a farm's earnings for the Spring, costing 40g but only selling for 30g. It isn't used in any Community Center bundles, and every NPC 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:universally dislikes it. It does have the benefit of being used in "Help Wanted" requests on occasion. Even then, thou💛gh, the💟re's very little benefit to this crop.

If you have a Mill, you can use it to process Unmilled Rice into regular Rice, but this too is a universally disliked gift that's not used in any bundles or requests. While regular Rice can be used in three cooking recipes, one of which is used in a Community Center bundle ( ), it's much easier to just buy it pre-processed from or JojaMart.

11 Kale

is one of the more middle-of-the-road crops for the Spring season. It has okay profit margins, an okay growth cycle, and an okay price of entry. The one thing that makes Kale feel better is how giftable it is. It's lik✱ed by a whopping 29 NPCs, making it one of the better gifts in the game.

Unfortunately, there are better crops for pretty much all things. If you want to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:diversify your farm, Kale is a safe option for sure. While iℱt's inoffensive, any of the upcoming options are preferable to ൲Kale.

10 Garlic

Garlic is not available until your second year in Pelic😼an Town, so don't plan to grow any during your first year.

is similar to . That is 🎃to say, it's a cheap crop that sells for little profit with a short growth cycle. The similarities don't end there though, Garlic is a great gift as well, being liked by 26 NPCs. While Garlic is not used for any bundles in the Community Center, it is a decent crop.

It's even used in some recipes that help you 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:with either fishing or looting the mines. The only issue is the constant work required, as it's a single harvest and has a ver🔜y short growth cycle.

9 Parsnip

Parsnips are among the most abundant and cheapest seeds to buy in-game, costing only 20g. They sell for 35g, so aspiring farmers can make a small profit of 15g from cultivating these tub𒅌ers, especially with their fast growth rates of four days.

It's also a necessary quest item for two Community Center bundles — the Spring Crops and Quality Crops bundles — and makes a decent gift for 28 out of the 33 NPCs of the game. Cheap, simple, and versatile, Parsnips are a must to grow in spring. Their only downside is that they're a single-harvest crop that grows quickly, meaning that you'll need to be constantly planting more if you plan to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:run a Parsnip empire.

8 Carrots

With so many ways to find them around Pelican Town, you'll never need to buy - which is good, because you🅺 can't. If you want them, you'll need to try one of the following:

• Digging up "Seed Spots," which look much like Artifact Spots but with a greenish hue.
  • They can be tough to differentiate, so it's worth doing some digging if you're after Carrot Seeds.

• Finding one in a Golden Treasure Chest while you're fishing.
• Opening Mystery Boxes.
• Getting one as a prize in the Prize Machine.
• Completing quests for the Raccoon.
  • You can also give his wife a in exchange for a Carrot Seed.

That said, while Carrots do have a pretty alright selling price, the real prize here comes when you feed a Carrot to your horse. Doing so will give your equestrian pal one heck of a speed boost for the remainder of the entire day! So while you can sell Carr𝔉ots, we know an animal on your farm who might enjoy them more.

7 ꦑ 🌸 Green Bean

Green Beans only need to ꦛbe planted once per season, and they'll then regrow another Green Bean every three days.

A pack of Green Bean Seeds is a bit pricey at 60g, but it more than makes up for it by producing a multi-harvest crop. After the initial growth rate, it'll regrow more beans every three days, meaning one seed can generate a decent amount of profit all season. It's also used in the Spring Crops Community Center bundle and a cooking recipe with decent 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mining buffs ( ).

are disliked by five villagers, but again,ꦏ as it is a possible "Help Wanted" request, even this can change. Be sure to grab a seed or two this Spring, and let the profits — or other benefits — roll in!

6 𓄧 Cauliflower

Cauliflower Seeds are a bit on the pricier side at 80g to purchas🔜e and have some of the longest growth times in the game. However, don't let that be a point of discouragement for you! What the Cauliflower lacks in speedy growth, it makes up for in a profit of 175g (95g net total), yielding some of th🃏e highest gains for Spring crops in Stardew Valley.

It's also the last of the crops used in the Spring Crop bundle for the Community Center, and it's used in a cooking recipe ( ). In terms of gifting, absolutely loves receiving them, so stock up if you're 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:trying to romance her.

Be sure to plant your Cauliflower in a three-by-three square formation! Planting nine Cauliflower Seeds in this pattern may result in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a Giant Crop once they're ready to harv⛄est, which might as much as double your Cauliflower haღul.

5 Potatoes

Though its seeds are somewhat pricier and take a slightly longer time to grow, the more than makes up for its long wait and higher cost with a greater profit. Like the Parsnip, the Potato is used in the Spring Crops Community Center bundle (and sometimes a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:remixed bundle). One of the best things about growing Potatoes, though, is that there's a decent chance for multiple drops from one plant, meaning you will sometimes g🔜et more t♏han one Potato per seed.

Potatoes also make for another safe, mostly-liked gift for most of the valley's residents, and again, the occasional random "Help Wanted" request can possibly and easily circumvent the few residents who dislike it. The hardy spud is a must for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:farmers both new and old.
