Crops
The whole schema of planting and harvesting crops was presented to you in the tutorial, but you should know few more things. Let's start from the beginning: plowing the field. To do so you have to choose the hoe (Plow Tool) from the bottom of the screen first. Move it to your farm and you'll see green square looking like plot. Click to create it. Every plot costs 15 coins and provides 1 experience point.
It is good to plant some seeds on just plowed field. Click it or the Market option and the shop window will pop up. There are many seeds in Seeds tab, however not all of them are available in the beginning. Most of them is unlocked along with the game progress when you'll reach proper experience levels. For example when you see Level 4 needed on some seed, it means that your farmer has to be 4th experience level to plant it.
Note also that every seed has some additional information, like its cost or how much money you can earn selling the grown up plant (Sell for). Other important factor is Harvest in - it tells you how long you should wait until the seed is mature. That depends on seed type and can take from few hours up to even few days (real time). The last info is XP Gained - it is amount of experience points gained after harvesting matured plant.
You can check the whole grow process by moving the cursor over the chosen plot. You will see then the percentage of crop's growth. Progress can also be seen visually - crops change over time. But remember - mature crops won't wait endlessly to be harvested. After some time they will wither and you won't be able to earn money by selling them.
When the crop is mature you can harvest it by clicking left button on proper plot. But be sure that the Multi tool is chosen and not for example the hoe. Then you will earn some money and experience points depending on the crop type. Afterwards you can plow the field with the hoe again. This costs you 15 coins, the same amount as creating the plot.
