Introduction
When I first started playing this game I found that it was very difficult to choose between different types of crops. It would at first appear that the more expensive a crop is to buy the necessarily more profitable it must be. This is just gaming common sense.

But this was not the case. In fact the most expensive is the least overall profitable and ones with similar costs and grow time have outrageously large differences in profits.

This guide sets out to spell out the value of all of the crops. The video will come with more representation and full arguments in favor of certain crops. Reading the material alone will not give a full perspective on how to build a profitable garden.
Video Run Down

The video run down contains charts and graphical representation of data. Much better to visualize. You will also see a lot of side by side comparisons which the rest of this will not.
