Where to Get Seeds in Tales of the Shire
While you can get some seeds from completing quests and club missions, the best place to get seeds is to purchase them from Farmer Cotton. He has a stand in the middle of the town square, and you can chat with him to get seeds for the current season. Seeds will rotate out as the seasons change, and Farmer Cotton will refill his shop every morning before dawn. This is the best way to get cheap produce in order to make all the hobbits’ favorite foods in Tales of the Shire.
How to Plant Seeds in Tales of the Shire
Planting seeds requires planters. While you’ll start with a handful of planters already at your home, you can purchase more from Farmer Cotton. They are a little pricey, so you might need to farm some money in Tales of the Shire before you can afford enough to build a whole garden for yourself. Once you have a few planters, you can start putting some seeds down.
Open the decoration menu by pressing H. This will allow you to choose from Furniture, Decorations, Meals, and Garden. Choose Garden, and you can use this menu to place new planters and plant some seeds in them. When planting seeds together in the same planter, make sure to pay attention to how the plants are reacting to others in the same planter. Plants can have a smiling face, which will be orange, or a sad, purple face. If you plant one seed next to other plants that make them happy, they will be more likely to grow two- or three-star vegetables in Tales of the Shire.
If you put planters close together, they will not count toward the happiness or unhappiness stat, but you can put planters close enough so that you can water two at a time. This will save you trips back to the pond to refill your watering can.
How to Equip the Watering Can in Tales of the Shire
In order to equip the tools you get, like the watering can and the fishing rod in Tales of the Shire, you need to open the tool wheel. On PC, this is done by pressing T. Then, simply select the watering can to equip it.
Equip the watering can to ensure your plants receive sufficient water. You can’t overwater your plants, but you can underwater them, so be sure to water them on any day it is not raining.
