28-Day Roadmap

The Optimal Autumn Planting Timeline

Day 1 (Autumn 1)
Plant Shadow Grapes & Lava Peppers Immediately

Multi-harvest crops must be planted on Day 1 to maximize total seasonal harvest rounds (up to 7 harvests for peppers, 6 for grapes).

Day 1 - 10
First Batch of Giant Pumpkins

Plant at least 12 Pumpkins to guarantee submission-ready quality for the mid-season Spooky Pumpkin Contest.

Day 15 - 20
Transition to Quick-Turnaround Beets & Radishes

Stop planting 8+ day crops without Maturio spells. Switch to Vampire Beets to avoid having crops die to winter frost.

Day 24 - 28
Final Harvest & Soil Preparation

Re-till fields and preserve multi-season Black Corn patches that survive the transition into Winter 1.
