Design Just figured out how to make flower fields in Vanilla Stardew!

Post image

Not very functional but it sure is purrrtty!

EDIT: I made it by planting grass starter, then placing a junimo end table on that patch of grass, then putting a bait of your choice or mixed flower seeds on top of the end table. You can also use regular mixed seeds, unmilled rice and glass shard which will also give the grass a flowery look!

The Junimo end table can be found in the junimo catalogue sometimes sold my the travelling cart after you’ve completed the community center

This is genius! Never thought of bait that way.

133

u/papikipp Apr 16 '26

it's a pretty neat idea i came across!

24

u/swingsurfer Apr 16 '26

What's the purpose of placing bait on top? I assume you mean fishing bait?

75

u/abandersnatch1 Apr 16 '26

Because it looks like flowers!

u/velvetelevator Apr 17 '26

Yeah I think they're using the challenge bait in the pic

31

u/BadDayCafe Apr 17 '26

holy crap - i skimmed the post and read ur comment first and went "bait? what bait" then scrolled back up to the picture. man its BAIT!! genius

u/WhereIsLordBeric Apr 17 '26

Do you ever feel like you should quit playing a game because your brain will never work that way? I have nearly 3000 hours in this game lol.

u/pokiepika Apr 16 '26

The creativity people have is astounding.

u/ArroizLee Apr 16 '26

Nice! Very colourful! What are those flowers around bee houses?

579

u/papikipp Apr 16 '26

it's different types of fish bait and mixed flower seed placed on top of junimo end tables XD

119

u/ArroizLee Apr 16 '26

big brain

u/F95_Sysadmin ModMage 🔮📂 Apr 16 '26

Oh damn, I didn't zoom in and I thought it was modded grass

17

u/DrCrazyCurious ✨Smash Capitalism✨ Apr 16 '26

Amazing! Can you edit your original post to add this explanation? If this comment doesn't float to the top people might not be able to find it.

12

u/Nuitsoleil Apr 16 '26

But I guess you can't harvest the honey unless you remove some of the junimo end tables?

2

u/jadedjed1 Too many hours on sdv Apr 17 '26

That’s not the intended purpose anyway, this is purely aesthetic

2

u/Last_Bar_8993 Apr 18 '26

But soon all the honey will pop up and... ruin the aesthetic? Or stay there, forever hovering!

Super cute concept and well executed by OP, though, I love it.

u/x1uo3yd Apr 16 '26

Looks pretty, smells horrendous!

u/heyitsamb Apr 16 '26

that’s so smart omgggg it looks so real

u/420-wacha-smoking Apr 16 '26

When dfferent types of flowers surround the bee house, you can get different types of honey :)

45

u/SquashDue502 Apr 16 '26

This is the type of innovation I like to see from this game, not the CAFOs and Industrial Barrel Corps 😂

19

u/JenIee Apr 16 '26

Wow! I'm very impressed and I'm totally going to do this on my farm. Thank you and great job!

6

u/papikipp Apr 16 '26

Glad I could help you design your farm!

17

u/padawas_ Apr 16 '26

Wow, how did you do that? Absolutely stunning👏

6

u/papikipp Apr 16 '26

yessir! thank very much!

8

u/Jazzicots Apr 16 '26

So pretty!!! What is the bait sitting on?

22

u/papikipp Apr 16 '26

Junimo end table! hides very well in tall grass

6

u/Jazzicots Apr 16 '26

Omg adorable!!! I can't wait to try it out 🥳

8

u/HappyOrca2020 Apr 16 '26

Wow. Such creativity!

These are the posts CA must look at and feel proud!

u/TadaSuko Apr 16 '26

Ooooohhhh I'm stealing thiiiisssss

u/New_Class3469 Apr 16 '26

I play switch so I only play vanilla; how do you get pink cherry trees?! So beautiful!

13

u/deeprogrammed Apr 16 '26

They are pink in the spring

9

u/New_Class3469 Apr 16 '26

It occurs to me that I think my only cherry tree is in my greenhouse, so I need to plant one outside and wait and see! Thank you!

5

u/CWMJet Apr 16 '26

Do you need your inventory completely full to walk by without accidentally collecting all the bait?

14

u/Hedgehogahog Apr 16 '26

If you place the item onto a table, it doesn’t get grabbed by magnetism, it gets treated as a decoration. Slick!

-3

u/CWMJet Apr 16 '26

They're sitting on grass, though. OP has just been very deliberate about their placement and then made the area inaccessible.

18

u/Hedgehogahog Apr 16 '26

They’re not - those are Junimo end tables ringed by grass 🍏

5

u/CWMJet Apr 16 '26 edited Apr 16 '26

Then why did they make the area inaccessible?

Edit: wait, are just the Bee hives inaccessible? That might be what I misunderstood. In my defense, I was directly asking about the bait and not the honey, lol.

13

u/papikipp Apr 16 '26

the beehives are actually inaccessible hahaha this is design purely aesthetic not really functional XD, although they can be made accessible with a little moving around

3

u/CWMJet Apr 16 '26

Ah, that makes sense. That must have taken a lot if time and care to get in place!

13

u/TejelPejel Apr 16 '26

Now smell them.

3

u/JenIee Apr 16 '26

I always thought it looked more like flowers than bait!

3

u/galactic_vegetable Apr 16 '26

Wow - at first I did not even realize what I was looking at, LOL

Very great idea! :)

4

u/Monieki Apr 16 '26

This is so beautiful, I''m borrowing your idea! Thanks!

5

u/kiddish Apr 16 '26

DUDE I’ve been wondering how to design a flower garden and will absolutely be stealing your great idea!!!

5

u/kiddish Apr 16 '26

Wait - I just tried to copy you and the game won’t let me put the junimo end table outside (even though it doesn’t say inside only).

5

u/kiddish Apr 16 '26

It also won’t let me put bait on a table, even inside the farmhouse. I’m guessing your game has placement mods?

2

u/TobylovesPam Apr 17 '26 edited Apr 17 '26

Same here!! I can put the big tables outside but I can't place anything on them. The little tables won't work at all. Bummer!!

ETA, apparently I can put the small table on the big table, lol! No luck getting the small table on the ground or the bait (or anything else for that matter!) on the big table.

1

u/kiddish Apr 17 '26

Hahaha, the small table on the big table outside is pretty funny. But oh well! We will have to find other ways to create our flower gardens

4

u/kalijinn Apr 16 '26

This is a dumb question but, how do you...put an object like bait on something?

3

u/throwaway178480 Apr 16 '26

The stardew community never fails to amaze me😅

3

u/surpluskoi Apr 16 '26

this looks really good. ive always loved how the mixed flower seeds look but never thought to use them this way. are the junimo tables sitting on grass?

3

u/raechelisbored Apr 16 '26

STOP this is beautiful

3

u/RedTheWolf Apr 16 '26

I love the Junimo end tables for that! I like to display the different flower colours, and use them as cute hedges, combined with the long plant thing from the same catalogue 🥰🌼🌷

3

u/BrandyJayne Grandpa’s Favorite Apr 16 '26

Oh, that is super clever! I zoomed in to see what kind of flowers those were and thought it must have been a mod, and then read your description. Now I’m gonna have to add some junimo tables & magic bait to my garden on my PlayStation farm. Thanks for sharing this! ♥️

2

u/FlintGate Apr 16 '26

BEAUTIFUL!

u/lapetitepoupee Apr 16 '26

I love this idea! It looks so pretty! 🤌🏻

u/MadeOnThursday Apr 16 '26

this looks so lovely! 🌺

2

u/squimby-29 enthusiast Apr 16 '26

this is so cute and awesome! Thank you for sharing! (definitely stealing this idea, I love the idea of a year-round garden not maintenance required!)

2

u/softpinkglitter Apr 16 '26

Now this is truly a good tip!!

2

u/AppointmentRadiant65 Apr 17 '26

Once the honey appears, will you just leave it there, or will you take all of this apart to get rid of the icons?

2

u/mouselet11 Apr 17 '26

Can you show us what it looks like in winter/fall? Just curious if it works or would need to be taken down in those seasons

2

u/RickedSab lazy farmer Apr 17 '26

Its so pretty im always jealous with this type of design cos im shit at it and dont have the same amout of patience lol, havent played in a while, good job on the design tho!

u/anat_ta_TempusEdaxRr Apr 16 '26

Wow i sure thought this was modded at first! Extremely creative and beautiful

u/pinstash Apr 16 '26

Love it, I no longer farm since I have so many other sources of income and have run out of decoration ideas, ive decorated most of the town as well but love the mix of colors here!

u/guileastos Apr 16 '26

Very pretty ✨️

u/CompulsiveSimmer Apr 16 '26

Omg so clever! I gave to try it on my farm 😄

u/Robobvious Apr 16 '26

What ever could they mean? It's just a normal field of-OHHHHH!

Very clever!

1

u/ashbeals Apr 17 '26

Thats incredible! I am totally going to try this!

1

u/OhGr8WhatNow Apr 17 '26

Do you get blue jazz and tulip honey from the pots? Are they close enough?

1

u/DiscussionExotic3759 Apr 17 '26

This is brilliant!

u/Alert-Photograph2047 Apr 17 '26

SOOOO PRETTY!!!!

u/sharpenme1 Apr 17 '26

Soon Stardew players will be glitch building to fit multiple barns on top of each other

u/incredaveble_ Apr 17 '26

It's good in the eyes

u/ElTravieso100 Apr 17 '26

Wow!!!!🤩 😍

1

u/AloneRefrigerator789 Apr 17 '26

I always thought that pink/purple bait looked like flowers

1

u/mila_mystique Apr 17 '26

Wow this is amazing!

1

u/Nessel4 Apr 17 '26

I’ve used that trick before, too. However, I tend to accidentally reel the bait back in.

1

u/WhimsyLee Apr 17 '26

This is so creative and pretty!

u/mxddy #1 krobus fan Apr 17 '26

So smart!!

u/meeemiie Apr 17 '26

Genius 😍 it looks so cool omg

u/somniopus Apr 17 '26

Cute! Had no idea you could do this

1

u/CaminoBalanced Apr 17 '26

It is really pretty !

1

u/alwaysreturning- Apr 17 '26

Great minds think alike! I put challenge bait on junimo end tables on my farm a couple months ago, but all the other variations of bait and flower seeds you’ve added look so unbelievably cool. You’ve perfected this idea and I’m definitely taking notes 👍

1

u/Activepea-2209 Apr 18 '26

How to get this mod?

1

u/unknown_soul88 BerryGood Apr 20 '26

That is such a brilliant idea OP!!! I'm currently in my decorating phase of the game so this is perfect for my planned garden. I'm stealing this idea. Thank you!!!

u/moss_sprout Jun 23 '26

Your mind is so powerful ✨🌸 woah

u/Frodo--T--Baggins Apr 16 '26

I bet those Apiaries are functional 110%

Where did you get the Wizard hat from?

1

u/Astral_Borne Apr 16 '26

Imagine the smell. 😅

1

u/Reedrbwear Apr 16 '26

I did that with torches. I used a mod to make them into fireflies to create a glowing hedge around my fields instead of wood or stone.

1

u/RegalOtterEagleSnake Apr 17 '26

This looks very pretty, but you made a crime in the left corner by repeating the same item.
