Stardew Valley: How to Get Summer Squash Seeds in 1.6 Update

The new Stardew Valley update has introduced farmers to an exciting new set of crops, including the Summer Squash. Unlike the usual seeds available at Pierre's shop, obtaining Summer Squash Seeds requires a bit of extra effort. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to find and grow Summer Squash in Stardew Valley.

How to Get Summer Squash Seeds in Stardew Valley

To get Summer Squash Seeds in Stardew Valley, you'll need to search for special grass and artifact spots during the Summer season. These spots appear as blades of green grass, distinct from the typical worm-like artifact spots. While they can spawn anywhere on the map, the Secret Forest seems to have a higher concentration of these seed-bearing spots.

To harvest the seeds, simply use your hoe to dig up the grass or artifact spot. Each spot will yield one or two Summer Squash Seeds.

Once you've obtained your Summer Squash Seeds, start to plant them on your farm. Remember that Summer Squash is a summer crop, so planting them in any other season will result in the plant's death. After six days of planting, your Summer Squash will be ready for harvest.

Summer Squash also continues to produce after the first harvest, making it a reliable source of income and resources throughout the season for farmers.

Maximizing Your Summer Squash Harvest

After harvesting your first batch of Summer Squash, you can use the Seed Maker to obtain even more seeds without having to scour the map for grass spots. This will help you expand your Summer Squash empire and boost your profits.

In addition to selling the squash, you can also preserve them in jars to create a tasty treat or eat them raw for a quick energy boost. With a bit of patience to find the grass spots, you'll soon be enjoying a bountiful harvest of Summer Squash in Stardew Valley's 1.6 update. Happy farming!
