Onion

The Onion base value of 220 positions it as a solid entry-level Uncommon crop with faster growth than many alternatives. The 200 seed cost makes it accessible while offering meaningful profit improvements over Common crops. This balance makes Onion excellent for learning Uncommon-tier farming. For example, a Ripened Onion at 2.5x yields 550, nearly tripling the seed investment. When combined with Silver variants (2x), profits can reach 1,320 at Lush stage. This is why the Garden Horizons calculator is invaluable: it helps players decide when to harvest for maximum profit while learning intermediate mechanics.
