Pip & Trowel: Idle Farm
by Hoome Hooldings Limited
Media
Pip & Trowel is a minimal gardening sim where you plant seeds, water crops, and pull weeds with occasional taps, then let your garden flourish offline. Expand your plot from nine squares to thirty-six, grow ten plant varieties at different speeds, and fill a journal with golden harvests while enjoying hand-drawn art and gentle haptics. Designed for calm play without energy timers or mandatory purchases, it rewards brief, regular check-ins rather than active grinding.
About this game
Some gardens want a whole weekend. This one wants a minute.
Pip & Trowel is a cosy garden you tend with one thumb. Tap a plot to plant a seed. When the little water-drop bubble pops up, tap again to give it a drink. Pull a weed here, shoo a snail there, and tap to harvest when it's ready. Then put your phone down. The garden keeps growing while you're gone, and something is always waiting when you come back.
TEN THINGS TO GROW
Start with radishes and lettuce, ready in under a minute. Level up to carrots, tulips, strawberries and sunflowers. Keep going for tomatoes, lavender, roses, and the slow, glorious pumpkin. Every plant has its own look at every stage.
A GARDEN THAT GETS BIGGER
Nine plots to begin with. Earn coins and expand to sixteen, twenty-five, then thirty-six. Add a gnome to keep the weeds down, a scarecrow to keep the snails off, a beehive to speed everything up, and a lily pond because it's lovely.
FILL THE JOURNAL
Every crop you grow earns a page. Every harvest has a small chance of coming up golden, worth five times as much and remembered forever.
MADE TO BE CALM
• Chunky, hand-drawn sticker art
• Gentle sounds and soft haptics on every tap

FAIR AND FREE
Pip & Trowel is free and supported by ads that appear between visits to the shop, never while you're gardening. Watching an ad for a rain shower or a few coins is always your choice. A single one-off purchase removes every ad forever and makes rain free.
Pop a seed in. See what comes up.
