How to Plant Seeds in Terraria

Terraria is an enjoyable and surprisingly complex game that involves farming, crafting, and exploration. Planting seeds is an essential part of the game, as players need to cultivate crops to create food and potions. In this article, we'll go over the steps to plant seeds in Terraria so you can grow your own crops.

Preparing a Garden

Before planting seeds, you need to prepare the plot where you'll be growing your crops. To prepare your garden, follow these steps:

1. Clear a space. Find an area that is large enough to accommodate your crops. Clear the area of grass, flowers, and other foliage.

2. Create a level space. Use a hammer to remove any bumps or uneven areas on the ground. You want a level surface to plant your seeds.

3. Add soil. Use a hoe to till the soil in the cleared area. You can add fertilizer to the soil to increase crop yields.

Planting Seeds

Once your garden is ready, you can plant your seeds. Follow these steps to plant seeds in Terraria:

1. Acquire seeds. You can obtain seeds by harvesting crops or by purchasing them from NPCs.

2. Equip seeds. Open your inventory and select the seeds you want to plant. You need to have them equipped before you can plant them.

3. Plant seeds. Stand in the cleared garden area and left-click with the seeds equipped. You will see the seeds being planted in the ground.

4. Water seeds. Once the seeds are planted, you need to water them. Use a watering can or a bucket of water to pour water on the seeds.

5. Wait for crops to grow. Give your crops time to grow. Each crop has a different growth time, so check the wiki for specific information. You can speed up growth by using fertilizer or by placing a scarecrow nearby.

Harvesting Crops

Finally, you need to harvest your crops. Here's how to do it:

1. Wait for crops to mature. Once a crop has matured, you will see it change appearance. For example, a cornstalk will have ears of corn on it.

2. Equip a weapon. You need to have a weapon equipped to harvest crops. A pickaxe, axe, or sword will work.

3. Left-click on crops. With your weapon equipped, left-click on the crop you want to harvest. You will see the crop disappear and be added to your inventory.

Conclusion

Growing crops in Terraria is easy if you know what to do. Follow these steps to prepare your garden, plant your seeds, and harvest your crops. With practice, you'll be able to grow a variety of crops and create delicious food and potions. Happy farming!
