How to plant seeds after tilling the garden

From spell to planted seed

1. Choose the single point, line or circle option for the tilling song. Those options describe the plot pattern, not the number of seeds automatically planted.
2. Mark the ground you want worked and press the on-screen check or confirm action.
3. Wait for the hoe to finish creating the spaces.
4. Select seeds from the hotbar and sow them in those spaces yourself.

Two players in the April demo discussion independently described this broad flow. One described dragging a line before confirming. If your cast appears to do nothing, first check that you queued plots in placement mode.

Refill at the pond

A player tried the well after their watering can ran dry. Eastshade clarified that the can fills at the little pond. The well is used to sell items; it is not the water source in that developer answer.

If the game says the plot is unsuitable

The same discussion contains a disputed case: Eastshade asked whether the player had created tree plots, while that player said the visible controls did not explain the distinction and still failed. The cause was not settled. Do not assume your seed, plot type or save is at fault solely from that thread. Note the selected pattern, plot icon and demo version before trying another plot.
