Before scarecrows are unlocked, the only way to ensure no crows appear is to plant at most 15 crops at a time. This implies that the initial 15 [[Parsnip Seeds]] provided by [[Lewis]] can all be safely planted; harvesting them gives the player enough experience to reach [[Farming]] level 1 and unlock scarecrows. However, planting just one additional crop (even wild seeds, or a crop at the seed stage) can trigger crows. | Before scarecrows are unlocked, the only way to ensure no crows appear is to plant at most 15 crops at a time.
