When you’re just starting your journey, it can be a bit confusing seeing other players have a fully-packed garden with rare crops. But don’t worry, here’s a guide on the best early crops in Grow a Garden to make things easier.
In this guide, we have a few recommendations about the best seeds to purchase when you have less in-game currency available, but once these crops grow and you sell them, your income will steadily increase.
Best Early Crops to Grow in Roblox Grow a Garden
The seeds mentioned below include single-harvest as well as multi-harvest crops.
Orange Tulip
The Orange Tulip is one of the best early-game crops if you can get your hands on it. It costs 600 Sheckles and grows in just 6 seconds. Each tulip sells for around 750 Sheckles, making it extremely profitable. It’s a single-harvest crop, meaning you have to replant it every time, and it only appears in the shop occasionally—but it’s well worth grabbing when available.
Daffodil
Daffodils are also very profitable and grow in about one minute. They sell for 1,000 to 3,000 Sheckles depending on their size. Like tulips, they are single-harvest but the fast growth time and high selling price make them a great early option. If you manage to plant several daffodils, you can make a lot of Sheckles very quickly.
Strawberries and Blueberries (Multi-Harvest)
Strawberries and blueberries are among the best sustainable crops to start with.
Strawberries grow in about 85 seconds and then produce berries every few seconds without needing to be replanted. Each berry sells for around 20 Sheckles.
Blueberries take a little longer to mature—about 105 seconds and then 22 seconds per berry—but they sell for more than strawberries.
Both of these are multi-harvest crops, meaning once planted, they keep producing fruit. This makes them perfect for generating steady income over time.
Carrots (Common, Fast but Low Profit)
Carrots grow incredibly fast—around 6 to 7 seconds—but they sell for very little. You’ll likely only want to plant carrots in the very beginning to make a few quick Sheckles or complete certain quests. After that, move on to more profitable crops.
As you earn more money, you can go for Coconuts, Apples, Bamboo, Dragon Fruit, Grapes and more rare crops.
Early-Game Tips for Growing Crops and Making Money
- Plant crops that produce multiple harvests, like strawberries and blueberries. These save you time and Sheckles since you don’t have to keep buying seeds.
- Keep an eye on the weather. Rain speeds up crop growth by 50%, and thunderstorms can trigger valuable plant mutations. Try to plant and harvest as much as possible during weather events.
- Use watering cans and sprinklers to speed up growth. Focus these tools on your most profitable plants. You can buy them from the Gear Shop.
- Visit Sam’s shop regularly. New seeds are added every 5 minutes. If you see a rare crop like a tulip or daffodil, grab it fast.
- Now that pets are added to the mix, purchase an egg that is affordable for you and add it to your garden for extra boosts. Here’s what each pet does so if you don’t want a certain ability added, make sure to either keep that pet in your inventory or sell it for extra cash.
By starting with multi-harvest crops like strawberries and blueberries and mixing in fast one-off crops like tulips or daffodils when available, you’ll quickly be able to build your income and make your way to rarer crops and better gear.
