# Sowing

To do it, you'll need to purchase hoe from Willy or Billy in the windmill for 800gp.

All houses within private fields are already busy, although you can find public fields (103sqm) left from NPC Lilly.

To sow, you would need empty field. Drop fruit or vegetable you would like to sow into a soil and "use-with" your hoe on it.

For each sowed plant you gain a bit of experience.

It takes 6 hours for a plant to grow. Once fully grown, you can collect it by using a plant.
