Daylight Savings Time Abuse can be applied to any seed moon in the game, although it is usually used for the [[Desert Gardening: Plaza Seed|''Desert Gardening: Plaza Seed'']] moon in [[Tostarena Town]] in the [[Sand Kingdom]], since this is the place where it is easiest and saves the most time. It can also be used to grow a seed in the [[Metro Kingdom]], but the route change is much more difficult.
