If you're a dope like me and water the crops before accepting this quest, you will go "oh crap! my crops aren't parched anymore! I'm doomed!"
Simply drop this quest, and your cabbages will become parched again, then take the quest again and water them.

My grandfather used to say "Yoonie, a cabbage is like a woman: ignore her and she'll turn rotten. Pamper her and she'll grow big and plump and you can put a ribbon on her and take her to market to show her off to your frie-" look, he was from a different time, okay?
Love this guy.
If you are an idiot like me, you may look for the watering can for quite some time with no success after the "tutorial" quests.
The items disappear from the ground when they are in your inventory. The watering can will still be in yours following the first chain, as it is the only one they make you pick up...

Description
My grandfather used to say "Yoonie, a cabbage is like a woman: ignore her and she'll turn rotten. Pamper her and she'll grow big and plump and you can put a ribbon on her and take her to market to show her off to your frie-" look, he was from a different time, okay? The point is, now that our cabbages have sprouted, they need attention! Today they look a little dry, so you should water them. Here's the old watering can grandpa left. It will always be near the field if you need it.
