Stardew Valley Update 1.6 introduced a lot of new content and items, most notably new seasonal seeds that players can plant. Here is how to find Powdermelon, Summer Squash, Broccoli, and Carrot seeds in Stardew Valley.

Stardew Valley seeds are essential for growing crops on your farm. They can usually be bought at Pierre’s Shop, JojaMart, or Oasis in the Desert. The 1.6 Update introduced new special seeds you can find and grow every season. 

While there is no shortage of seeds to buy and grow, the new seeds are a little more unique than the ones players may be used to. Here is where you can find Powdermelon, Summer Squash, Broccoli, and Carrot seeds in Stardew Valley, and how you can grow them.

Where to find all new seeds in Stardew Valley

All new seeds in Stardew Valley Update 1.6 can be found by using your Hoe to dig in artifact spots or grass tufts

You can find artifact spots by spotting the little worms that stick out of the ground.

Unlike other seeds in Stardew Valley, Powdermelon, Broccoli, Carrots, and Summer Squash cannot be bought from a shop. 

Artifact spots are the same ones you would dig in to find artifacts for the Museum. They look a little bit like three worms sticking out of the ground, and if you use your Hoe on that spot, they will yield an artifact or the seeds you are looking for. 

Grass tufts are similar looking to artifact spots, except they have a distinct visual difference in that they look like grass blowing in the wind. While they are more difficult to find, they are more likely to yield the seeds you’re looking for.
