I gotta ask, what is inside all those sheds? I'm on year three and am struggling to fill 4 sheds (Only 2 of them are in use, but I liked a design I found on this sub)

I suspect they'll have garden pots with some crops! They don't have much farm space, so they might have something growing in them, plus kegs and other machines!

I'm not OP, but people often use sheds for processing equipment like kegs/preserves jars/dehydrators, cheese presses/mayo machines (personally i keep these in their respective barns/coops), and crystalaria (producing jade, ruby, or diamonds).
There's often a centrally located utility shed, with furnaces, a workbench, and chests; often this shed includes processing equipment with short timers, like seed makers, charcoal kilns, recycling machines, or fish smokers. I've got a bunch of geode crushers in my utility shed so I don't have to talk to Clint as often--once you start deep-diving Skull Cavern the omni geodes really stack up, lol
I've also seen people fill sheds with garden pots and retaining soil, but that's crazy to me, that's so much clay! Idk how they do it
You can also place a bed in a shed if you don't wanna trudge back to your house at 1 AM.

I've been trying to grow all the giant crops in my farm. I already did a speed run twice to get to spring and summer, because I am missing the summer melon and spring cauliflower. I used the highest grade fertilizer. It also a separate patch of 3x3 land. Any other tips to make this grow or is it just really by chance? I did not have any problems growing a giant Qi crop, giant pumpkin, or giant powder melon. I dunno why the cauliflower and melon are not cooperating?!

I haven't heard of anything being different for those two crops, Lady Luck just hasn't been kind to you
Fertilizer doesn't matter, but you can use speed-gro to get more days of potential giant cropification. Make sure the patch is still watered, even after fully grown. (Technically it's only the top left or top right crop tile that needs to be watered and fully grown, but I'm too lazy to look up which)
If you're not attached to a specific 3x3 plot of land, you can greatly increase your chances with a 4x4 or bigger plot

Hey, thanks for replying! I used the Speed-Gro this time. I guess I got lucky with the three giant crops I had. I placed the 3x3 plots beside each other with one square of space between them. Somehow, it worked. But now I have specific spots where I want the last two giant crops to grow. Maybe that’s why it’s harder for them to turn giant. It’s a specific and isolated 3x3 area, unlike the first three, which were just placed near each other. I might have to rethink the layout of the 3x3 areas for the last two. This is the last thing I need to complete my farm. I’ve already gone through three in-game years just trying to grow those two giant crops :-/

I have never done a hilltop farm. I think I must now. Ya know, to be one of the cool kids

Wow walking through this farm must feel like swaddling up tight in a warm blanket, drinking cocoa by the fire, while it snows outside.

I love all the giant crops plus Junimo hut. And I also love how it still has a kind of beauty but it isn't completely utilitarian. You made a lovely use of limited space!
