The Vegetable Garden 2016 event, sometimes called the farming event or the summer event, is the first 2 month long event since the adventure system was released. Unlike typical events, it requires waiting between maps for your crops to grow, instead of getting immediate payoff.
You have 6 farming plots and 90 seconds to garden. You'll have to show speed and
cleverness! When you're not in your garden, you can randomly loot tools
in order to boost your plants.
When you click on an empty slot, a window will show you what's possible to do. Choose your desired seed and plant it in the soil.
By playing maps you will occasionally see Mystery seeds (which become a random kind of crop, and possibly the very rare chili peppers if you're lucky) as well as tools, which you are able to trade. The seeds can be planted in one of the 6 plots on the event map (note: these will stay planted between event maps). You can then use items to accelerate their growth, keep them safe, or harvest plants. You can then trade Papaille on the left side of the maps for special seeds. Daisies and chili peppers can be traded with Papaille to earn rewards.
If a plant is "fully grown" but you cannot harvest (the inventory interface comes up), you'll need to wait until next round; most crops other than flowers require this. If you have some of the tools listed below, you can click on a plant that isn't full-grown and apply the effects.
Mystery seeds most commonly end up being daisies. But since you can use daisies to buy the seed for the next plant, they can be useful.
You can also purchase the Lotus seed, which when fully-grown will award a badge when fully grown.

Mystery Seed
Can be placed in one of the six soil spots on the event map, and will grow any plant except lotus. Note: the harder the plant is to get, the less likely it will grow from a random seed.
Watering Can
Lowers growth time by ~3 turns. Best if used when planting.
Ladybug
Use to get rid of bugs . Only usable once your plant is already infested with bugs.
Fertilizer
Accelerates the speed in which your plant grows. Best if used when planting.
Gardening Hoe
Removes weeds . Only usable once your plant is already overrun with weeds.
"Growth Time" is the number of rounds it takes for a plant to grow without a Watering Can or Fertilizer and without weeds or bugs infesting your plant.
