Oh, I see. Maybe if I was as knowledgeable about agriculture as my character, that might have been an intuitive solution I'd have tried anyways... Well, it's late Harvest month, so I guess it's all turnips this year.

I'm just asking so that I can plan ahead. I have a turnip field, but I eventually want to introduce some sort of rye or barley into my fields since the turnips alone don't seem to be nutritious alone, even in boiled form, to sustain me indefinitely and I'm hoping some bread will help with that in time. Back when shops didn't have dynamic inventories, the only option was to steal and thresh some crops off a village's fields and get started with that. I presume this still works, especially screens away from the village tile, but it feels like kind of a cheesy exploit and I want to play a character that isn't generally too dishonorable (plus who knows, the villagers might eventually connect the dots). I know that I could buy turnip seeds in the early spring, when I started the playthrough, but while I saw bags of grain I could grind into flour and then cook into bread, I didn't see any rye/barley seeds. What I want to ask is: will the villagers stock some grain seeds in their shops after the harvest? (Which at least will let me start planting them next year, I guess.) Or will I have to get a five-finger discount?

Honestly, it's annoying how, if I'm cooking things like vegetable soup or boiling turnips, the resulting cooked item will end up all in the pot. I get that this is 'realistic' in a very vulgar sense of the word, but in practice, all this means is that I have to press an extra couple keys pouring the food over from the pot into a wooden bowl or other container if I wish to cook up boiled turnips en masse. Unnecessary user input, really, that makes these activities very annoying to do. I think it'd be much more convenient for the player, without losing anything, if the empty pot was just another 'tool' required for the cooking, and the game would ask separately for the target container (which could be a wooden bowl, a skin, a tub, or even the same pot the game has already selected, if that suits the player). I'd be quite happy if this was introduced.
