Watering Cans are tools used to water crops. Every crop plant, from seed to mature plant, requires water every day in order to grow. A plant that goes unwatered on any day does not die, but it does not grow either. Mature crop plants that produce multiple harvests also require daily watering, and do not progress towards a new harvest if they go unwatered. A flower crop, once mature, continues to live while planted without watering or harvesting, until its season ends. Thus, it may be left planted near a Bee House without further tending. No plant needs watering by can on a day that it rains; the rain itself does the watering.

The player is given a base-grade watering can at the start of the game, which can be found in the backpack (inventory). Its operation is limited to watering one tile per tool use. The player can purchase upgrades to the watering can at the Blacksmith by paying the proper fee and submitting the needed materials. Each rise in the grade of the tool allows it to perform another higher level of operation, increasing its speed and efficiency. Each higher grade of watering can is also able to perform any of the lower levels of operation, giving it a choice of effect.

The watering can has its own reservoir of water, with a capacity measured in charges. The capacity increases with each tool upgrade. The tool is able to water tiles until it has used up its supply. The player must then refill it at any body of water, or at a Well. The can can be refilled at any time. It is not necessary to wait until it is completely empty. The game displays a guage that shows the tool's current fill level.
