thats really not the best way to do things...I mean you need/use way more wheat than you do other crops(hops for example), so why would you only grow 9 of each?
hes doing 5X5 now and seems to have a good set up.
@farmer guy: get hops and maybe more wheat for beer later, and just keep up with what you're using. also pumpkin is good for pies and breads(don't make the huge mistake of eating plain bread). make sure you have a good oven and bake lots of good food for fep...until you get sausage and cheese production going well(and then you'll probably want to farm even more carrots since they grow fast and are good fodder).
also each plant has a different use(or several uses) and you can find them with a quick glance at the
wiki.
theres even a
nice table there with grow times for you, and remember the wiki is your best friend in this game!
