Before plowing the lands, player needs to clear everything that can obstruct Hoe from plowing the land to farm. These obstruction came in the form of trees, stones, forages/weeds, sometime oak seeds and pine seeds. Trees can be cleared using Axe, stones cleared using Pickaxe, forages cleared using Sickle, and seeds (oak seeds & pine seeds) cleared using Shovel. After the land cleared of any obstructions, player can freely and easily use Hoe to plow the land. Land that can be plowed are the one with light brown color, land that have grass (green in color) can't be plowed & planted. Plowing with Hoe will consumed player's vitality, the vitality usage will be different depending on the type of the Hoe being used. Clearing the obstructions using other tools also consume vitality.

Another way to obtain seeds are by plowing the land & black holes with Hoe, from Tom Cole's letter in the manor's mailbox, and also from the children that get hired by Pickup Hire Card, but these seeds are Mixed Seeds. These seeds contain random crops according to the season when the seeds given.

After obtaining the seeds, put the obtained seeds that will be sow in the Player's Bag. Then open the Bag and tap on the desired seeds, so the player's avatar can hold the seeds.
