Blue Valley (A Stardew Valley garden blog)

[-Blue-]

​

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...

Spoiler: Carrots!!!

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!​

'Bundle up, folks. It's going to snow tomorrow!'

Hello and welcome to Pelican Town! A small rural and endearing community that I like to call home. This is the year where I will finally succeed and make a profit! But to do that my garden has to be much bigger. Much much bigger. And through this wintry month I've been breaking ground to expand.

It's been hard work, but I'm determined to grow one of everything from Pierre's and everywhere else. And then some!

To do this I need more ground, planters, and raised garden beds. Clint can smith raised beds and planters as long as I provide iron ore and enough gold for him to begin. So with that I went out mining for iron ore and clay to fill each bed! You can see some of the planters I have of varying size in the second picture of the 1st post. The remaining planters took a lot of dirt. A lot. Many wheelbarrows, lots of salvaging in the woods to find fresh fertile leaves, rotting (but not infested) logs, so that I didn't have to fill it entirely with dirt. I did have to buy some to mix in with what I was able to forage.

​

But I was determined to get everything ready before spring officially came. And yes I know it's technically spring now, but depending on where you live it most certainly doesn't feel that way. It is still often getting in the 30s where I live. Which is a pain when I really want to get started, but don't want to chance another frost coming just as the wee little sprouts start growing. I've been there and I've learned my lesson. I see so many around that are already putting their gardens in, being super impatient, and regretting every second of it.

I've learned and made the mistakes so you don't have to! You shouldn't start planting until after the last frost. They say after Mother's Day and depending on where you live that's pretty accurate. At least it holds up where I am from.

Clint came through and delivered these easy to assemble raised beds and planters! Well they're not really planters, they're tubs which I drilled the bottoms out. You can see two wooden planters. They're all that's left of the original wooden ones I made that haven't fallen apart yet. So I wanted something a bit more permanent that I didn't have to keep patching.

I moved all the stone that was bordering the bushes and trellis and used it to support the raised bed. All of these rocks were dug out of the woods surrounding my home. They were buried in clusters. Back in the 1800s farmers would till the grounds and toss any rocks they find in piles. Over the years these piles would be covered by trees that once showed where the true fields property line was. You can find a lot of interesting things if you look and dig far enough.

Please don't hesitate to ask anything if you're curious. Have a lovely weekend

Looking really good so far, look forward to seeing the progress! Love how everything is designed. As a gardener myself, I know how much work it can be, but also how fun it can be as well. What part of the world do you live in and growing zone? Do you primarily focus on a vegetable garden or do you grow other things as well like flowers, fruit trees, etc.? What would you say is the rarest/most unusual thing you are growing/have grown in the past?

 

[azurill]

I love your blog its so fun and creative. Your garden already looks so good. You always do a great job with your gardens. Happy to see you make a blog about it. Looking forward to seeing everything you grow. Thanks so much for the encouragement and inspiration to try again this year to grow veggies. Our growing season is so weird here since it gets hot and stays hot for so long. Happy gardening and fun with it.

 

[Squidward]

This is one of the coolest things I've seen on this site. Best of luck in the future! And don't listen to the haters. Yeah, you can buy produce, but it's so rewarding to grow your own if you can.

Thanks! This is a set up from years of adding on to it. Every year I try a little something different or add to it. This year being all the raised beds and planters. One thing I would love to do is get a bunch of rain barrels and make a rain catch system. Maybe next year! I believe it's low 5 and mostly vegetables and fruit gardens.

I've tried so hard with fruit trees and have an apple. plum, and peach that provide, but every cherry tree has eventually died because the invasive Japaneses beetles will just not leave it alone. I will try again eventually in the future, but it's more fun to work in the gardens. I also plan to grow a variety of flowers from Stardew that I've found (some harder to track down then others) So we will see how it all goes.

It's hard to say what's the most different I've grown since I've tried lots. Like growing pumpkins just so I can say I made pie from pumpkin, loofahs (didn't know they were a gourd), but most of these I'm growing again this year and will share the results as they progress. Is there something you normally like to grow?

I'm so happy I could inspire you to try again. Just do your best

This is one of the coolest things I've seen on this site. Best of luck in the future! And don't listen to the haters. Yeah, you can buy produce, but it's so rewarding to grow your own if you can.

For sure! I'm growing greenbeans and snappeas again to go with the Stardew theme of growing one of everything, but usually I opt out since it's so easy to buy a hefty bag of fresh ones for $5 but that was before all the crazy inflation. Plus it's super time consuming to break them all off

Now that I think about it I haven't seen fresh bagged beans in my local stores in a while. It's night and day with fresh stringbeans and canned ones. The fresh crunch can't be beat when cooked.

Demetrius might not know the difference between a tomato's scientific classifcation and its culinary importance, but he knows a fresh batch of greenbeans when he sees them!

Hope I don't disappoint you all lol

'It's horseradish season!'

While the weather slowly breaks and gives way to spring, I had a little more work to do before I was truly ready for the next harvest season. You may have noticed that little patch of green looking grass in the middle of the planter pathway. That is a horseradish and it was time to finally relocate it to a better spot. It really gets big and leafy making it a pain to walk by every year when it peaks. So I wanted to get to it before it was too late.

That is what I worked on next after expanding the gardens. But I didn't want to just rip it out and harm it in any way. So with some tender loving care I dug it out. It's really neat that it has a distinct smell, of store bought horseradish cream from jar, once the root is broken. I managed to split the larger root and planted it on both sides of the larger planters. Hopefully it grows big and healthy for future harvests and to act as a weed barrier when it grows large and leafy.

There were a handful of roots that didn't survive the transfer so I figured why waste it? This would be a fun learning experiment to make it into sauce! I saved a few roots for Linus since I know he loves foraged goodies and prepared the rest, but not before washing it thoroughly of mud chunks before it made it to my kitchen.

The process of turning root into sauce/cream was fairly simple and a fun learning project! It was straight forward. Wash the roots as thoroughly as I could outside and then got the rest in the kitchen sink. After I had gotten most of it off I cut off any parts or ends that didn't look appealing or had any green or leaves on it before peeling it like you would a potato or carrot. The skin was fairly easy to shave off. And as you can see in the middle picture it kind of looks like a banana. I then chopped it into smaller cubes before emulsifying it.

It was at this point where the fumes were very potent. I had accidentally cut my finger because it's not easy to cut something that is a root. It was like cutting through soft wood. So my cut, my fingers, and my eyes really burned. I ended up wearing safety goggles. I've chopped bushels of onions and this was more potent than that

I managed to get about 10 cups of cream and it freezes well. I gifted some to George as I know it's his favorite and sold the rest in the bin since it nets a higher price than the root. Hopefully this cold weather can break soon so I can start making a real profit!

 

[azurill]

I'm so happy I could inspire you to try again. Just do your best

Yea I figure even if I don’t get much it will be a fun learning experience and I can do better next time .

Glad you had fun learning something new. Sorry about your finger and I hope it’s healing quickly. The cream looks so good. Hope you enjoy it. What are your plans for it?

Think positive and have fun! Just remember to water it early morning or late evening during the hotter weather.

It should have a shelf-life of a year so mostly the plan is to thaw it out as I need or want it. And maybe save it to raise George's friendship points.

Thanks so much. Yea definitely watering when I get up. Then again at night since it’s been warm.

That’s awesome it can last that long. Definitely best to freeze it . Definitely need those friendship points.

That is really cool that you made homemade horseradish, I bet it tastes better than the store bought one!

Thanks! This is a set up from years of adding on to it. Every year I try a little something different or add to it. This year being all the raised beds and planters.

Is there something you normally like to grow?

You're welcome! I bet, it takes years to get a garden together especially when having to work most hours of the week. Same, one thing I love about gardening is how experimental it can be. That would be cool and smart to do especially with how climate change is affecting things. Plus, some plants (like bamboo for example) don't like tap water due to the chemicals so the only way to water them is with rain water or distilled water. I gotcha, so you are farther north than I am (in growing zone 8a).

Yeah, fruit trees can be tricky especially when dealing with weather and pests. I hate Japanese beetles as well, I find the best way to get rid of those varmints is to get a container of dawn dish soap water and knock them into it during the late evening (before the sun is fully down) because I have found that they go to sleep early and are easy to get then. I personally am growing more native fruit trees/bushes (American Pawpaw, American Persimmon, Serviceberry, blueberry, black cherry (Prunus Serotina), etc.) to avoid a lot of issues, but I do have peach and nectarine trees (unfortunately lost most of my nectarine crop due to the recent cold snap in my area). That sounds really cool, which flowers were you looking to grow?

Pumpkins/gourds are really interesting to grow since there are so many varieties out there. Look forward to seeing the updates on those! I personally have been mostly doing native plant gardening/conservation, but I do eventually plan on getting into a vegetable garden in the near future (trying to focus on building flower beds and planting things that take a while to grow/establish). I think my favorite thing to grow is either Virgina/Ohio Spiderwort (beautiful flowers that are completely edible down to the roots depending on useage) or native bamboo (Arundinaria Gigantea [not sure if it is native where you are at, depends on what state you are in] and Arundinaria Appalachiana).

Oh that's very fun! I've looked into planting a persimmon, but then thought ok where do I stop with what I want and will I have enough time for everything lol. That's a shame you lost so many. There are so many different things I would love to try growing, but I know I wouldn't be able to without them dying from the harsh winters. I have prickly pears and a avocado I grew from a pit that are all going strong, but mostly stay indoors except for late spring and summer.

I have a row of blueberries to. It's not a lot, but they're the bushes in the path. It is a pain to pick them all during their quick season, but I love to freeze them all and make pies.

I still need to hunt some down, but so far I have poppy, sweet pea, a variety of sunflowers, and moon flowers. Good luck with your fruit trees and flowers!

'It's the perfect time for artifact scavenging!'

​

I can't really start planting anything until warmer weather. The days are definitely getting warm, but the nights and mornings are still too cold. There are still some days next week where it's expected to drop to the 30s, which while I really want to start, I don't want to chance another frost or killing my plants.

So with the garden expanded as best as I can, I decided to venture back into Cindersap Forest. I previously trekked through these woodsy grounds for fertile soil for my raised beds and planters. However, I also unearthed a peculiar and seemingly old glass jar. I decided to bring it to Gunther so he could assess it and to my surprise he claimed it was a old mason canning jar from the early 1940s. He told me if I found any other relics like this to bring them to him for appraisal.

So, with enough free time until warmer weather I decided to return where I found the jar and scavenge for relics.

I sadly didn't find any other relics where I was digging for soil and other fertile components to mix into my gardens, but I wasn't going to give up. I was determined to find more history! I searched far and wide and to my surprise, far from any signs of civilization, I found what I can only assume was a really old spring house.

I did come across the remnants of relics that locals had smashed against trees, rocks, along with their modern trash. Linus was rightfully upset how people could have such disregard for the planet they live on. I did happen to find many intact relics where those long gone had left behind their trash that gave a glimpse of how life was back then. While I was there, I tried my best to clean up the woods. Even with the amount I picked up, it barely scratched the surface...

I donated all of the bottles I found to Gunther for a small sum that will help with all of the seeds that I'll need to purchase at Pierre's! There were so many golf balls all over the forest. Or as the local's call them, 'fools eggs' as foxes often mistake them for real eggs before abandoning them. I recycled and tossed a lot of trash. Among some of the finds were; a hair tonic, vanilla extract, shampoo, and mason jar all from the late 1940s. There were a handful of generic bleach bottles and three rainbow bleach bottles with cork tops before they started to mold them for screwed lids. Those were dated roughly 1930.



I cleaned every bottle as best as I could. They were covered out and inside with all matters of filth. Thankfully I had a bottle brush that made it go a lot smoother. (I had to fill the shampoo bottle with water/food coloring dye so the text was easy to spot)

I actually found a lot more, but didn't have room for them on the picture. So if you're interested in seeing one of the other bottles or a clearer picture of any of the others let me know! I know this technically has nothing to do with gardening, but I did actually find a jar when getting more dirt and wanted to return with more free time to bottle hunt. Then I thought hey this would be a fun post!

It was fun to return to a carefree hobby that I did as a kid with my sister. It brought back a lot of good memories. And I also cleaned up the forest a little bit to!

'It's going to rain all day tomorrow.'

​

The weather took a turn for the worst and we got another week long cold snap. Thankfully I wasn't impatient like many others. Trust me, I get it. We're all ready for real spring weather and to get outside and enjoy the good weather. It's killing me that the weather keeps dropping to 30 every other day. There was frost everywhere the other morning when I got up to go to work. It was awful. I'm so ready for winter to shove off. You had your time. Make way for spring now you greedy season!

Tomorrow and onward thankfully is where the weather finally starts picking up for the better! But I've been doing a lot of behind the scenes preparation to get ready for when I can start planting. I won't be planting anything in the main garden until close to the end of April, but I can get started with all of the planters soon. Tomorrow and onward to be exact! And I'm super excited and raring to go!

It's either been below freezing, extremely windy, or raining. It actually rained all Easter weekend, which cancelled the Egg Festival everyone was looking forward to. The little ones were so upset, but Marnie held a little egg decorating event for anyone that wanted to show up to her ranch. Many did and had fun decorating their eggs!

Since a lot of my planters are new with fresh soil, I decided to make the most of the dreary weather and went worm gathering. When it rains too much worms have to surface so they don't suffocate as they breath through their skin. It took a lot of scavenging to find enough worms for all 4 raised beds and planters. But I know they'll all be fertile soon enough to boost this years harvest yields. I also found a lot of cute little salamanders!

Vincent was really excited to help me look for worms. Penny said it was alright since she was finished tutoring him and Jas for the day. I turned one of the mason jars I scavenged into a terrarium for Vincent's new worm friends, before I took him back. He really enjoyed that and we even found a snail to add to it! I still had a lot of worms left over so I gave some to Willy as he's always been helpful and friendly.

It's been quite the project tracking down a lot of the more obscure plants from this beloved series. And peehair---I mean Pierre hasn't been any help at all. So far I've managed to find a variety of potatoes, rhubarb (trying it in bulb and crown form!) parsnips, loofah, sweet pea, I did find crocus, but every place won't ship it until late fall. Which makes sense since it is a late winter/early spring flower and needs to be planted in the fall. I will document each and everything I plant, how it grows, and what I'm learning as I go on. I ordered garlic to! And you might think why don't you just buy it at the store? You probably can if you buy it from a natural, but most places inhibit growth and sprouts.

I have way more seeds, bulbs, crowns, ect then what is shown. I'll show each as I start to plant! I even tracked down some really strange ones (that are actually in game) but I'm going to keep it a secret. If you think you know what it is, you can guess!



Yesterday it safe enough to plant the rhubarb so that's what I set out to do! The first two images are the horseradish I had to relocate on the left side of the large planters. You can see they're starting to grown new leaves. So they're taking well to their new home! I also wanted to show them in comparison to the wee-little rhubarb I planted on the opposite side. When both plants grow big and tall I hope they all act like a good weed barrier to keep grass and weeds out of the planters as best as possible.

If all goes well, I'll be showing how they all grow big and healthy!

Below are a handful of extra pictures! Some baby chics when I visited Marnie's! The daffodils are finally in bloom and my hycanith bulbs came back!!! Pierre's kitty chilling on the merchandise And a larger picture of the garden where the daffodil and hycanith are. There are so many dafodills around us. I think the squirrels steal the bulbs and bury them in the woods. It's just like in Stardew with them out in the wilds.

Hopefully soon I can start planting everything and I can share the results with all of you

 

[azurill]

I hope the weather is starting to cooperate and get warmer for you. Everything looks so good. Excited to see it all grow. Love all your pictures.

'It's going to be a beautiful, sunny day tomorrow!'

After so many cold spells we were bound to have a sunny day. It wasn't necessarily warm and a tad windy, but the sun was shining and paving way for what will be a pleasantly warm spring. No more winter coats or extra layers are necessary! So it was time to finally start planting. I have a ways to go before everything is fully planted and I am still waiting on some things to still be delivered, but every day I'll slowly check something off the list and another of Pierre's crops will make it to the garden.

Today I planted the potatoes, garlic, and a special crop that I've always been curious of growing. All three of these can't just be planted directly into the ground. Well, they can, but to maximize your profit and yield, it's best to prep them before planting.

The first is potatoes! It's ideal to let potatoes sprout. You've probably heard of potatoes growing eyes. That is how more potatoes grow. This process is called chitting and once enough eyes sprout you can boost your yield by cutting each potato in half (or more) You just need to be sure there's enough eyes on each cut. Then the fresh cuttings have to cure/harden so that the new exposed skin won't rot when planted. As you can see day by day the cut dried and discolored a little. Only a few didn't make it as they cured.

I did all of this while I waited for warmer weather, which thankfully was finally today. They say you only need about three days, but can go anywhere from that to five. Since I didn't want to chance the potatoes being damaged by the frost I gave them a few more days before planting. We'll see how things go from here!

I scooped out a good bit of dirt, placed them gently so I didn't hurt the stems. They were a little longer than they should be, but it should be ok! I just had to be more careful not to break any of them and then filled them back. Alex stopped by to see what I was up to and commented on how enthused he was to see my potato yield. He gave me a hashbrown recipe his grandmother taught him and is fairly simple, but sounds so good! I'm excited to try it out and make a little extra for him and his grandparents to!

The next crop was garlic! I've never grown garlic before, but always wanted to. So with my goal to grow one of everything, now was as good of a chance as any! I'm trying two varieties. Transylvania which is the common garlic you often see at stores and elephant garlic that you can see by comparison is pretty large! Like I said in the previous post, store-bought garlic won't sprout because it's been stunted by different means. You can see this garlic is already sprouting. Each clove of garlic will grow its own garlic bulb. You can't buy just a single clove. If you want to grow it you have to buy a whole bulb. SO that means Pierre is breaking his garlic bulbs into cloves and selling them at a mark up. What a thief!

Breaking the cloves off was such a mess. There was so much paper skin everywhere. I saved it all to compost later cause why not? Sprouted garlic is ok to eat, but it won't taste its best. Gus had a good bit of his garlic grow sprouts so he offered his stock to my garden endeavors. He's such a nice fellow! He only asked me to not let it go to waste and to let him use some in his saloon when it was time to harvest.

And the last crop is one I've been interested in growing for a few years. So I thought if this is the year I'm growing one of everything, I should add this to the goal as well! Can you guess what it is? It's peanuts! It's time to shellabrate!...those are the jokes. I ended up using three of the four raised beds. So this might be obvious, but you can't just go to the market and buy peanuts to try to plant them. They're either roasted or salted. I'm sure there's some raw organic types, but you'll have to find some organic market, which there isn't anything like that where I'm from.

I'm trying three types. Virginia peanuts (the most common) Tennessee red, and emery. You have to shell the peanuts in order to plant them. Or it's ideal so they don't struggle growing. I had to be both careful and also use a bit of force to crack each shell. They were really hard to crack! I guess when they're roasting the shells weaken. Only about five or six nuts in total were damaged. Any little bit of damage means the nut won't grow anything.

I did this ahead of time along with the potato slices and planted them today. My goal with the peanuts is to grow them from nut and make peanut butter out of each variety and see which tastes best. As well as try many other recipes with them!

I gave everything a nice watering. It was a long and productive day, phew! It's times like this I wish I had a little energy pick me up to keep me going, but I needed to call it before I passed out. I saw the local farmer eat a pinecone, acorn, and maple leaf the other day. They said it was a field snack. It just looked like they were shoving lawn debris in their mouth. Between you and me, there's something wrong with them...

So much more to still plant! And I need to get my water barrels set up soon so I don't have to walk so far with my watering can. We'll see what I tackle next. Have a lovely night

 

[azurill]

I am glad to hear your getting some sunny days so you can start planting. I love hearing about your process of getting it ready . So very inspiring and helpful.

Spoiler: I do have a few questions

It’s been a few years since I had a veggies garden. This time is definitely going better but I worry about going away and then drying out.
One idea I am not sure on is- we have a canopy in the garage. I will wondering if I placed that over them to shield from direct sun would that be helpful? I don’t think we are supposed to get rain, unfortunately we don’t have a working sprinkler system but don’t want them to dry out in the rain. So I thought ok as bring them might be better then the small pots they are in?

I can actually answer that. My parents used to grow their own vegetables at one point. They do need sunlight but not all the way. Rain is natural water so that would help them out. I would suggest watering them every other day if possible.

That’s my worry since there will be two days where I can’t water. So if I give them a good watering the morning we leave will they be okay for two days? The rain chance is unfortunately only 5 percent.

Yeah, that should be fine. Just try not to over water them through
