To maximize crop growth, make sure that you plant seeds on the first day of the season to ensure maximum crop yield. After this, you need to use fertilizer to improve the quality of the crops and get a scarecrow that will ward off crows and other birds from your farm.
Lastly, make sure you have sprinklers as they can water your crops without you having to waste your time and energy doing it. At the very least, make sure that you upgrade your Watering Can to improve efficiency when watering crops.
