I'm doing a school project and I really feel that I can acomplish what I want in my code, however I feel like i -always- repeat my code.

I have tried to put the switch cases into methods but haven't had any success though to out of scope.

I am beginner so sorry for the eyesore code!

However, if anyone have any tips for using methods or something else so I can clean up my code a little better.

So here is a bit of my code, this is the beginning branch of my menu.

I have translated the code roughly to english.

So this is a sub menu in the main method.

            string[] flowers = { "Sunflower", "Coleus Tree", "Tomato" };
            int[] plant = { 0, 0, 0 };


                      switch (menuInput03)
                            {
                                /////WATER PLANT////
                                case 1:
                                    Console.Clear();
                                    Console.WriteLine("Press SPACEBAR several times to water plant!");

                                    if (plant[0] < 21)
                                    {
                                        for (int i = plant[0]; i < 21; i  )
                                        {
                                            var keyPressed = Console.ReadKey();
                                            if (keyPressed.Key == ConsoleKey.Spacebar)
                                            {
                                                plant[0] = i;
                                                Console.Clear();
                                                Console.WriteLine("Press SPACEBAR several times to water plant!");
                                                Console.WriteLine("\nWatering plant..");
                                                Console.WriteLine("["   flowers[0]   " "   plant[0]   "/100]");
                                            }

I came up with the following; don't just copy-paste for school project without understanding what is going on. If some things are not clear do not hesitate to ask follow-up questions.

public record Action
{
    public string Title { get; }
    public int RequiredHealth { get; }
    public string ActionMessage { get; }
    public string CompletedMessage { get; }

    private Action(string title, int requiredHealth, string actionMessage, string completedMessage)
    {
        Title = title;
        RequiredHealth = requiredHealth;
        ActionMessage = actionMessage;
        CompletedMessage = completedMessage;
    }

        title: "Press SPACEBAR several times to water plant!",
        requiredHealth: 20,
        actionMessage: "Watering plant..",
        completedMessage: "Your plant has been watered!");

    public static Action RemoveWeed { get; } = new Action(
        title: "Press SPACEBAR several times to remove weed!",
        requiredHealth: 50,
        actionMessage: "Ripping out weeds..",
