'''Winter''' is the fourth [[Seasons|season]] in [[Stardew Valley]]. It is followed by [[Spring]] and preceded by [[Fall]].
'''Winter''' is the fourth [[Seasons|season]] in [[Stardew Valley]]. It is followed by [[Spring]] and preceded by [[Fall]].
Winter is unique amongst the seasons in that no outdoors [[Crops]] apart from [[Winter Seeds]] and [[Fiber Seeds]] will grow, and all [[Grass]], [[Weeds]], and most tilled soil (including all fertilizer, even if the tile remains tilled) will all be removed at the start of the season. [[Bee House]]s will also not produce [[honey]] during winter. Finally, standard [[trees]], including those planted on the farm (except fruit trees) do not grow in winter unless [[Tree Fertilizer]] is applied.

[[Grass]] remains but does not spread. [[Bee House]]s will also not produce [[honey]] during winter.

Overall, with plant growth stopped, Winter can become a challenging season for farmers, leaving only [[Animals|animal]] produce and the [[Greenhouse]] as the mainstay of farm produce. However, the reduced intensity of farming makes it an excellent season for other activities, including [[foraging]], [[The Mines]]/[[Skull Cavern]] exploration, [[fishing]], digging at [[Artifact Spot|artifact spots]], and gift-giving - with nine birthdays, Winter is tied with [[Summer]] for most birthdays in a season. It also makes it easier to obtain [[The Farm|Farm]] and [[Tools|Tool]] upgrades without impacting normal routines.
