Best Summer Crops
Full profit/day ranking for Summer using a fixed 28-day window (crops wilt at the next season). Baseline uses mid range estimates and no fertilizer. This is a sell-harvest ranking (recipes/processing are not applied here).
Quick answer (baseline)
Tomato
#1 at 14.38 profit/day
• gap vs #2: 10.54
Tip: small gaps mean fertilizer/your watering consistency can flip the result — verify in calculator.

How to use Summer rankings
- ✔ Summer often rewards regrow crops because you have enough time to compound multiple harvests.
- ✔ Profit/day can flip if you use Bounteous (+yield). If your top choices are close, validate in calculator.
- ✔ If you’re deciding what to plant “right now”, compare remaining days vs first-harvest timing in the calculator.
Goal: make this page a “search answer”. If your situation differs (fertilizer, watering, remaining days), use the calculator for a personalized re-rank.
FAQ
What is the baseline for Best Summer crops?
Baseline uses a 28-day window, midpoint values for price/yield ranges, and no fertilizer. Results are intended for stable comparison; use the calculator to personalize.
How is profit/day computed for multi-harvest crops?
We count how many harvests fit into the window: first harvest at grow time, then every regrow interval. Total profit is divided by the window length.
Do crops carry over into the next season?
No—crops are assumed to wilt at the start of the next season, so only harvests inside the window count.
Does fertilizer change the best crop?
Often yes. Zippy can increase harvest count by shortening grow time, and Bounteous can increase revenue by boosting expected yield.
Where can I compare a shortlist directly?
Use the crop profit calculator to re-rank your top candidates with your season + fertilizer + estimate-mode assumptions.
