As mentioned, [[plump helmet]]s and [[pig tail]]s grow faster, maturing in about 25 days, all other crops take about 42 days. Since a month has 28 days, you need to get your seeds in really quick to have 2 harvests per season of a slow growing crop, while 3 harvests of plump helmets per season are easier to manage. But don't worry too much if you fail - the seeds and "grow time" will even be carried over to the next season ''if'' the crop can grow in that season. Skill, [[Fertilizer|fertilizing]] or any other factor does not influence grow time, but will increase stack size instead. | As mentioned, [[plump helmet]]s and [[pig tail]]s grow faster, maturing in about 25 days, all other crops take about 42 days.
