Getting started

From Gardens wiki

1. Use your hands. On the Garden tab, four buttons work from the first second: - Gather seeds: 1 seed, free. - Plant by hand: 1 seed and some water become crops. - Collect water: a little water. - Study the soil: 1 knowledge.
2. Build. A Garden plot grows crops on its own, and Field notes make knowledge on their own. Each copy of a building costs 15% more than the last.
3. Watch knowledge. Knowledge is what opens almost everything: new buildings, new tabs, research. See When things open.
4. Keep an eye on storage. A resource stops growing at its limit. The row turns orange near the limit and red at it.
5. Get workers. Build a Cottage and workers arrive over time. Give them jobs on the Village tab.

When you're ready, start again stronger: see Time and new gardens.
