How to get seeds in New Horizons

To get stuck into the fun of growing your own crops, you’ll need some seeds/starts to begin with. To acquire them, you’ll need to find Leif, who can sell you both items. Once you’ve located him, strike up a conversation by choosing the “I’m here to shop!” option. This will activate a shopping menu, where you can browse various products and acquire as many seeds/starts as you need.

Each start will set you back 280 bells, or alternatively, you buy five for 1,400 bells. If you haven’t met Leif yet, after he visited your island, you can unlock him at Harv’s Island Plaza.

  • Find a part of your island to plant your seeds/starts.
  • Dig a hole and plant your seed or start inside it.
  • Water this spot every day.
  • After seven days have passed, harvest your crops!

Once you’ve harvested your crops for the first time, they will revert back to the Day 2 state. This means you’ll only need to wait three days before you can harvest again.
