Vanilla only lets you grow a handful of crops, only on cultivated ground, with strict spacing — farms end up small and fiddly. These mods fix all of it.

How to choose
PlantEverything lets you plant nearly all vegetation (trees, berries, mushrooms included) — the #1 farming mod for Valheim.
PlantEasily adds batch grid-planting with custom spacing, so with the above you can lay down a whole field at once.
Farming (Smoothbrain) adds a farming skill that improves as you plant, giving agriculture a progression curve.
Trade-offs: want more crop variety → PlantEverything; want to plant fast and evenly → PlantEasily; want an RPG-style skill → Farming. All three stack — this is the classic farming loadout.
