Summer Squash

Summer Squash is a vegetable crop that grows from Summer Squash Seeds after 6 days and continues to produce every 3 days once it matures. It takes 1 day each for stages 1 through 4, then 2 days for stage 5, for a total growth time of 6 days before the first harvest. After that, the plant regrows in 3 days, making it a repeating summer crop rather than a one-time harvest.

Because it regrows, Summer Squash is most useful when planted early enough in the season to benefit from multiple harvests. Its short maturity time also makes it easy to fit into a summer farming schedule without much long-term commitment. Players who want a steady supply of a single crop item can keep a patch of Summer Squash producing through the season instead of replanting after each harvest.

Summer Squash has a few practical uses outside of shipping and farming:

• It is not used in any recipes.
• It is not used in any quests.
• It can be used in tailoring with Cloth in the spool of the Sewing Machine to create the dyeable Tank Top.
• It can also be used as a yellow dye at the dye pots in Emily and Haley’s house, and as yellow dye in the Sewing Machine when used with a dyeable clothing item.

Overall, Summer Squash is a straightforward summer vegetable with a short grow time and useful dyeing and tailoring applications, but no cooking or quest requirements.
