| Eggplant | $20 | 5 days | $60 | $40 | $10/day |

| Bok Choy | $50 | 4 days | $80 | $30 | $7.5/day |
| Fairy Rose | $200 | 12 days | $290 | $90 | $7.5/day |
| Corn | $150 | 14 days | $50 | -$100 | $7.4 |
| For Corn to be profitable, you must plant it at the beginning of Summer and harvest it through Fall. It manages a scant $1.9/day if you only plant it for one season and manage 4 harvests (it is available every 4 days after maturity). Corn is involved in two bundles, so I'd advise you to buy a few and fertilize them so that you can get a gold star Corn for Quality Crops and an extra for the Fall Crops Bundle. | |||||
| Sunflower | $200 | 8 days | $80 | -120 | -$15/day |
| Sure, Sunflowers belong low but they're not the worst crop. You *may* get up to 3 sunflower seeds by harvesting these. So they can be planted again, free. It comes out to where you get just about the same amount that you planted in my experience. So you can continue Sunflowers for a long time after buying some. | |||||
Cranberries decimate the competition in Fall, and that money may help you through Winter.
Bear in mind that some foods are used in cooking recipes, so you do have reason to grow the less profitable crops. Also some are used in Bundles and will be needed to finish the Community Center.
