If you've already set up a small pumpkin farm in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you'll probably already be familiar with the basics of farming in the game as a result. Despite this, you might be wondering: where exactly can I find all of these new crops?
Do not be alarmed, aspiring farmer. To benefit from our suggestions, you do not need to be an expert in gardening.
Make your way to Harv's Island. If you haven't already, talk to him about the possibility of opening one of his cooperative stores.
Now, we won't tell you what to do because the decision is entirely up to you — but if you want to grow crops, you'll eventually need to spend 100,000 Bells at Leif's shop. If you can't wait to get your hands on some tomatoes, make Leif your top priority because you can only fund one shop per day.
Leif is the one who is referred to as a botany expert with the greenest of thumbs, according to the others.
Purchase from Leif. Leif sells "starts," which are small crops that are ready to be planted and grown in your very own yard or backyard garden. He'll eat tomatoes, potatoes, sugarcane, wheat, and carrots — though not all at the same time, if you're wondering.
Additionally, you can purchase from Leif when he comes to your island — however, his inventory is much smaller, and his visits are less consistent.
Each start costs 280 Bells, and you can purchase them in bulk for a total of 1,400 Bells if you buy five of them. On the islands that Kapp'n takes you to, it appears that it is possible to find crop starts. Because you can only visit one island per day, this method is obviously the least dependable of all, but it does offer the benefit of free crops.
Develop your crops. Fortunately, farming in Animal Crossing is a lot less difficult than bells ACNH is in the real world. Simply place your seeds wherever you want and water them once a day. In no time, they'll have grown into large, nutritious food items! In fact, they only take three days to fully mature from seed to harvest, and they will continue to grow even after they have been harvested.
Although the crops will grow on their own if you're extremely busy, the yield will be lower than it would be otherwise. To be honest, that part is a lot like real life.
