Garden with Insight v1.0 Help: How to pick up and put down tools

Picking up and putting down tools takes place in the garden window. You use tools to perform tool actions on the soil patches and plants in the garden window, such as cultivating, watering, and harvesting.

When you are not holding a tool, moving the mouse in the garden window will move a garden glove with the cursor at the tip of the glove's index finger.

To pick up a tool, move the cursor over the tool in the garden window and click with the right mouse button. Or choose the name of the tool from the first box on the toolbar in the garden window.

Choosing a tool in the garden window

When you are holding a tool, the glove in the garden window will appear to be holding the tool, and the tool will move when you move the mouse. The cursor will be at some point on the tool where you will use it. For example, when you are holding the shovel, the cursor will be at the bottom point of the shovel.

To put down a tool, click with the right mouse button anywhere inside the garden picture on the garden window. Or choose the name of another tool from the first drop-down list box on the toolbar in the garden window.
