  4. On Day 6, plant the Potato to have it ready by Day 13.
  5. Once the Cauliflower, Green Beans, Parsnips, and Potato are harvested, it’ll complete the Spring Crops Bundle which will reward you with 20 Speed-Gro.
  6. On the 13th, till the soil and water it along with fertilizing it with the Speed-Gro before 2 PM, and then head to the Egg Festival to buy the Strawberry Seeds.
