How To Garden In Metaphor: ReFantazio

To garden, you’ll need a set of seeds and one day of free timewhile the Gauntlet Runner is moving. Interacting with the planter in the back room of the Gauntlet Runner, you’ll be able to choose which seed you’d like to plant and use the time to do so. The plantwon’t be ready for harvesting until the next day, with harvesting not taking any time and it can be done when the Gauntlet Runner is not moving. Usually, you’ll get two or three of whatever you planted, and unlike cooking there is no way to make this process not take up free time.

Plants can be left and harvested over any period of time, so there’s no downside if you accidentally forget about them.
