How to use this data

Decide whether Melon fits this season

A crop page should help you avoid buying seeds that miss the harvest window, overload your watering time, or distract from bundles and tool upgrades.

  1. Count the remaining days before planting. Melon needs 12 days, so late-season purchases need extra caution.
  2. Check whether regrowth matters. Regrowing crops reward early planting, while one-time crops are easier to fit into short windows.
  3. Compare seed cost, sell price, and best uses against your current goal: cash, bundles, cooking, gifting, or processing.
  4. Before scaling the crop, confirm scarecrow coverage and sprinkler capacity so the field does not become an energy trap.
