0 of 32 squares planted; 32 empty.
Full squares and unused edge strips
Columns = floor(inside length / 12); rows = floor(inside width / 12). Dimensions are inches. Initial placement sorts by height and fills from the north edge in a snake pattern. The grid supports clicking, keyboard editing, and swapping cells.
Frequently asked questions
Can I rely on the crop counts yet?
Crop data is being verified. The current crop counts are testing placeholders and require source checks before use as planting guidance.
What happens to strips smaller than a square?
Only full 12 by 12 inch squares are allocated. Remaining length and width strips are reported separately.
How are tall crops placed?
The initial layout sorts tall crops first, then fills squares in a snake pattern starting from your selected north edge.
