Melon Seeds are planted during the summer season and take 12 days to mature. Once harvested, they yield melons, which can be sold for profit, used as ingredients in cooking recipes, or given as gifts to villagers. These seeds can also be placed in a seed maker to produce more seeds, potentially with a chance of obtaining rare mixed seeds. Additionally, melons may be used in the Summer Crops Bundle at the Community Center.
