Summer crop reference: compare three-day and four-day return intervals

Locate the first appointment, then the gap

Strawberry uses six days to the first harvest and three days between later rounds. Tomato uses ten days initially and four days afterward. The Summer comparison guide holds the starting day constant so you can see both complete schedules. Here, the table helps you find each record and its remaining first-harvest window.

A shorter repeat interval creates more frequent return appointments once the crop is ready. The growth wait determines when those appointments can begin. Looking at the repeat column alone would miss the four-day difference between these two first waits.

Check late starts on day 18 and day 22

Summer 18 is Tomato’s last first-harvest start, reaching day 28. The same start gives Strawberry days 24 and 27. By Summer 22, Strawberry can still produce one first harvest on day 28, while Tomato cannot finish its initial wait inside this window. The repeat label remains true for both records even when the selected date leaves no room to repeat.

• Compare a candidate’s latest start with today’s planting day.
• Open the row’s plan and enter your actual start if it differs from the example.
• Read every listed harvest date before deciding how often you will return to the bed.

Use the wider list for different timing needs

The summaries count candidates from fixed day-18 and day-24 starts; they do not rank the crops. Single-harvest crops remain useful entries when you need one date and then a separate planting decision. Check harvest type along with growth days when scanning the table.

The linked Strawberry and Tomato item records support their specific timing fields. The wider list also contains records checked against the Plants table, so a linked source is evidence for the displayed facts rather than a claim that every crop received the same depth of item-page review.
