Now it's time to plant. Pick up your free seeds and leave your house. Pause the clock without obscuring your farm by checking your mailbox or trying to chop a big stump (only once, and only if necessary; it uses energy) While the clock is paused, choose a place to plant your 15 Parsnips. Whenever the clock is not paused, clear weeds generally in your preferred area with your energy-free scythe. It needs to be near a water source, and you don't want to clear even one rock today (later you do, but today you would like to get close to the 50 wood you need for a storage chest if you can muster the energy). So find a mostly clear or grassy/weedy patch of ground (away from big stumps, nearly rock-free, maybe not obscured by trees, and not too big; you still have city slicker muscles and cheap tools) near a pond. | Now it's time to plant.
