Harvesting

Harvesting is the act of collecting a crop once it has finished growing, after which you can sell it for Sheckles or hold it. It is the payoff step in the core loop of plant, wait, harvest, sell, and reinvest.

How you harvest matters for income. Single-harvest crops are removed from the plot when picked and must be replanted, whereas multi-harvest crops can be harvested repeatedly as they regrow fruit, producing far more value over time. Harvesting a crop while its mutations are active locks in those multipliers at the point of sale, so timing your harvests around weather and pet effects maximises your Sheckle return.
