How to plant and harvest cranberries in the garden pond

Prepare the pond and bring cranberry seeds

1. Obtain cranberry seeds. An October 1 shop guide lists them at the southern shell shop for 20 GP; the rod guide identifies that access route.
2. Take a scythe to the garden pond.
3. Clear the surrounding growth as described in the cranberry reply, then select the seed packet.

This task uses the pond. Making more large tree plots or repeating the land-tilling song does not follow the solution reported in the discussion.

Find the water-circle planting target

1. Stand near or in the pond with cranberry seeds selected.
2. Look just inside its edge for the planting indicator. One player describes a small circle in the water appearing below, rather than directly on top of, the target.
3. Use Space on keyboard at a valid position. Follow your current interaction binding if you remapped it.
4. Check for a planted cranberry before moving to another spot.

The second reply reports eight edge positions in their pond. Treat that count as their observed layout, not a promise that every patch has identical slots. No controller button is demonstrated in these replies.

Harvest with the scythe

The same player instructions name the scythe for harvesting pond plants. When the cranberry is ready, equip the tool and use it on the plant. The discussion does not provide a growth-time table or a confirmed rule for accelerating it. If no target appears, check pond-edge position, cleared growth and the selected cranberry packet before following the unrelated basil planting steps.
