Do you need to water winter crops?

[rolypoly]

Just curious if when you plant winter seeds do you need to water them? Would be pretty weird to be honest, since the water would just freeze, no?

[Mackenzie]

Yes you do. Since they are made to grow in winter, chances are a few extra icicles won't hurt them but help them grow.

Yes, they are like any other crop in the game except they grow into forageable items. So seeing as how the mature plant itself isn't counted as a crop by the game, you may lose some tilled tiles on the day they are grown because no "crop" is occupying that space once the winter fruit is grown.
