How the fit score works
Some crops are hidden first: plants that need a bed when you have pots, plants that need more sun than you have, and plants toxic to pets if you ticked that box. Every crop left gets points for how easy it is for your experience, how much time it asks, whether you will eat it, whether its planting window is open today and how happy it is in a pot.
