Great puzzle game.
First I thought that it was a bug when using water on the dirt without a bean planted. But after a few tries I realised that the item to the right is used even if no bean is planted.
Anyway I enjoyed the game and except from that it was all good :)
Neat idea. I think, though, that the gardeners could be better implemented. I like the idea of a situation where you can carefully think about what you have to do, then do it fast enough for your beanstalks to not be chopped down, and you do do that in some levels, but often it's just a game of 'do this quickly while the gardener is distracted'.
Still, the first few levels are very strong. Good difficulty curve, nice mechanics well explored.
Great game, and a very good (should say excellent) take on the theme of growing. Enjoyed the game a lot.

Very good puzzle game. I am finishing this before I go play something else! (at lvl 12 atm) only thing i'm missing is a mute button for the music, since the loop is quite short it gets anoying after a while. GREAT puzzles. I love the use of pickup order, it really forces you to stop and think.
Great take on the theme.
Very cool puzzles.
The only thing I found a bit annoying was that sometimes I would fail at a puzzle because my character would slide into another item.
But all in all a great entry.
Really enjoyed it ;)

Nice job :) Fun to play. Props to you for having the motivation for thinking about puzzles while you are "speed coding" through the jam.
Kinda reminds me an old puzzle game I played on my TI-84 while in high school.^^

Nice game! It's fun. I like how you created quite varied gameplay out of a few elements.
