Trees
When growing a tree seed, you'll need to obtain a Planting Pot and a Gardening Trowel. Take the 1 seed that you wish to grow and place it in your inventory along with any others. Use your Trowel with the pot and your seed will be planted inside. Use your Watering Can to water the seed and wait until it become a sapling, which can be planted into a tree plot. It will eventually grow into an adult tree which you can chop for logs.
Once your tree has grown into an adult, check its health by right-clicking on it. If it's healthy, you can begin to chop away. Once you've gotten all of the logs, a stump will appear, but within a few seconds the tree will respawn and can be cut down again.
To get rid of the stump, dig it up with your Spade. No one else can see your tree, and once it's fully grown it will be your own personal tree that you can chop for wood, and it only takes several seconds to respawn.

Protecting Your Plants
You can protect your crops by growing certain kinds of Flowers that will allow for prey to not pick on your produce. They are to be placed in the flower plots while you are growing the vegetables that are being protected. They can be grown fully and remain there while you are growing the vegetables and will not die.
Marigolds protect Onions, Potatoes and Tomatoes from disease.
Rosemary protects Cabbage from disease.
Nasturtiums protect Watermelons from disease.
Scarecrows
When you reach level 23 Farming, you'll have the ability to make a Scarecrow. They will ward birds away from your Sweetcorn, thus preventing disease. They are to be placed in allotment patches once you've planted Sweetcorn. You will not be able to plant other crops around the Scarecrow.
To make a Scarecrow, first fill an Empty Sack with Straw by using with a Bale of Hay. An empty Sack can be crafted or bought from a Farming Shop. Stick the Sack of Hay onto a Bronze Spear, which can be obtained by killing Goblins. Place a Watermelon on top of the spear to make the Scarecrow's head. Now just stand the fully completed Scarecrow inside of an empty allotment patch to protect your Sweetcorn plots.
Spirit Trees
You can also pay nearby Farmers to protect your Spirit Trees. Of course, you must pay them to protect your tree, and they require 5 Monkey Nuts, a Monkey Bar, and a ground Suqah Tooth.
Both monkey Nuts and Bars can be bought from Solihib's Food Stall on Ape Atoll.
Suqah Teeth are a possible drop from Suqah monsters, located on Moonclan Island.
