Like any farming sim,Stardew Valleyhas plenty of crops you’re able to plant. However, you won’t get access to all of them at once. Pierre’s and JojaMart have seasonal seed lists, and even with that in mind, they don’t sell all the seeds the game has to offer. Some seeds you can’t get from Pierre’s no matter what, and some seeds won’t appear at all during the first year.
Garlicis one such crop. While garlic seeds are cheap and grow fast, you won’t find them for sale in a regular shop until Year Two begins. It’s only then that you’ll be able to produce garlic bulbs and start creating all the recipes that call for a pungent flavor.
Where to Get Garlic Seeds
When Year Two begins, Pierre will let you know thathe’s adding to his usual seed stocks. For spring, his new crops are garlic seeds and rice shoots. These seeds are exclusive to Pierre’s and will never show up in JojaMart’s inventory.
The one way to get garlic during Year Oneis by checking the Traveling Carton Fridays and Sundays. The cart has a mostly random inventory that can include garlic bulbs and garlic seeds (you can convert fully grown crops into seeds using the Seed Maker, unlocked by reaching Farming 9). However, you should expect to pay at least twice what the garlic is worth, and you don’t really need garlic items right away. Overall, getting garlic early isn’t worth the time, money, or effort.
Garlic grows quickly, and even if you don’t use any Speed-Gro they’ll mature in four days after planting. This means if you plant them on a Monday, they’ll be ready to harvest on Friday. Each seed costs 40g, the base value of a mature garlic bulb is 60g, and an iridium-grade garlic sells for 120g.
How to Use Garlic
While garlic isn’t much of a cash crop, you can put it to use in a variety of ways.
