I finally figured out why my farm layout felt so cramped

I was playing Stardew Valley last weekend and kept running into my own fences near the lake on my forest farm. Turns out I was placing scarecrows too close to the water, blocking off like 8 usable tiles that could have held blueberries. I moved everything over by 3 spaces and suddenly had room for a whole extra row of crops. Has anyone else struggled with fitting buildings around those random pond edges?

Wait, did you try rotating the scarecrows to face away from the water?

Yeah, pretty sure scarecrows just have a set range regardless of which way they face.

Did you try putting the scarecrows along the path leading to the lake instead? I had the same problem on my farm and just tucked them behind a tree, freed up way more space for crops.
