Another newbie question: I'm trying to be patient in waiting for my crops to grow for the first time, but I'm getting nervous. I got Lvl 2 Harvesting and have had two or three villagers busy planting and watering the crops. Since then my villagers have aged two years. Does it really take that long for the first crop to come in?

Also, the villagers default to watering the crops, but if I drag them to the crop fields again they do more planting. Which one is a better use of their time at this point?

Finally -- I'm assuming there will be an obvious visual change when the first crop comes in. Is that correct?

Thanks for any help!
