I always wanted to have a garden progress tour/blog so I could share from start to finish how everything grows. Gardening has always been one of my favorite hobbies. It's not for everyone and there are so many variables that need to go just right and just one to go wrong to throw it all off. I love to experiment and learn new things as I grow. And every year I try something new or different. I've often been ridiculed for it. 'Why would you want to grow loofahs? Why potatoes they're so cheap? Why why why?' Because why not? It's fun to do and it's a great feeling to be able to say I grew this myself. And it's a healthy way to provide for yourself.
This year I decided for my New Years resolution I would grow everything from Stardew Valley (or most) It might be premature to start a blog about this before I see how I do, but I'm going to just jump in and share everything as it goes on whether I succeed or fail. And I wanted to put a spin on the blog like it's based on the world of Stardew.
To take on this task I'm going to have to expand my garden because it's not big enough to accommodate for the space and growth all of the different plants are going to need. Which is what I've been working on this winter. Above is how my garden previously looked, but it needs to be much bigger. It has been a brutal winter, but through below freezing temps, rain, windchills, and snow, I've been steadily working on it for the past month.
So if you've ever been curious how something actually grows in this beloved farming sim, I hope I don't disappoint and we both can learn something together! And who knows, maybe you'll be inspired to try to grow something yourself. I've been doing this for years so even if this is a big task, I know a thing or two. Here's my carrot harvest from last year!
My plan is to show the progress of how everything grows, harvest it all, and try to recreate some of the recipes from Stardew with the veggies and fruit yields. And I guess give some to Lewis so he can build that gold statue...
I will try to update regularly or at least weekly (if there's any progress to be had) Going to share the work I put in to expand the garden soon!
