Crops

Ooblets
Ooblets on your farm will never trample or destroy crops. They may get in the way of planting, tilling, or watering crops if they are assigned to an Oobcoop and you are attempting to work on one of the 8 adjacent tiles to the coop.

Preparations
In order to plant seeds, the ground must first be tilled using a Dirt Scraper. This requires 5 energy and will till one square of land. Either before or after planting a seed in the ground (using 1 energy regardless of the seed) the tilled soil can be watered. Using a Dribbly Can on the soil will cost 1 energy. The ground can be watered before a seed is placed, and once a seed is placed the game will regard the seed as watered.

Weeding
Weeds will grow on your farm at random intervals throughout the day requiring the player to weed their garden often. Weeds will stunt the growth of the plant until the plant is weeded. Weeding requires 3 energy.

Rain and Snow
During Rain any tilled tiles on the farm will be automatically watered from dawn to dusk, and the watered effect will last until the next day.

During Rainbow Rain any tilled tiles on the farm will not be watered, and the farm will need to be watered either manually by the player or by Sprinklers. The rainbow rain will not affect crop growth times, but some players have noticed an increased chance of Gleamy Ooblets to spawn around the town.

During Snow any planted crops on the farm will freeze over, ceasing growth for the time that they are frozen. A variety of items and/or machines can be used, such as Meltilizer, Spaceheater, Sprinkle Hot, or a Sprinklehot XL. If using a Spaceheater, the crops will thaw but still require water, any of the other listed options will also water the crops they are used on. Snow can last up to a few days so it is recommended to have preparations in place for your first snow in order to keep your crops growing through the snowfall.

Harvesting
Crops can be harvested when their growth timers reach zero, and the crops are gleaming. Depending on the crops they will yield anywhere from 1-4 plants. Harvesting crops costs 1 energy, regardless of the final yield. (4 Springbeans harvested from one plant will only use 1 energy.)

Badgetown Crops
These consist of crops that can be bought in Badgetown at Meed's Seeds and can be grown on the player's farm. All crops can be grown on the player's farm, these are simply bought from Meed in Badgetown.
