Harvest Moon 64 - Strategy Guide (Page 05)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Harvest Moon 64 - Strategy Guide (Page 05).

2nd of Spring: Buy Seeds
     Take a trip to your friendly neighborhood Flower Shop and buy some seeds.
Start your fields off with some dandy potato or cabbage seeds. If you need some
quick cash, plant some turnips. Try planting more vegetables, about 6-12 plots.
Save room for grass, though, because you might be getting another cow soon.
     After planting your seeds, take a trip to the forest to forage for money
making items and to chop wood. When you're there, you may notice a strange
looking scientist. He says that he's looking for the Rare Emerald Butterfly.
Could you help him find it? Maybe...

3rd of Spring: Spring for A Room Organizer
     I think it's about time you bought this handy little item if you haven't
already. Head down to Rick's Tool Shop with 2000 gold and pick up the item on
the counter. While it looks small here, it actually is a cabinet used to store
non-food items (but not tools). You can store wool, flowers, minerals, or other
things in this cabinet. It's not necessary, but it's very nice to have.
     After your trip to the shop, make up for some of the money by stopping by
the forest on the way home. If you grew turnips, they should be ready soon.

4th of Spring: Normal Work Day

5th of Spring: First Turnip Harvest
     If you decided to be eager and grow turnips, they should be ready now.
Pick them and start saving up for another cow with the profits. Looks like you
potatoes will be ready before the Planting Festival. How nice!

6th of Spring: Normal Work Day

7th of Spring: First Potato Harvest
     If you were a little more patient (and a little wiser), your potatoes will
be ready today, earning you big bucks. Be sure not to forget to always have
some seeds handy so you can replant after you pick. It's easier than going back
to the Flower Shop every time (unless you like to talk with Popuri and
Lillia!).

8th of Spring: Planting Festival
     The second annual Planting Festival is just like the first one. The King
flies up in the balloon with one person and spreads seeds across the country
side. Everyone releases their balloons into the air after they leave.
     If you have been chosen King, you get the honor of riding in the balloon!
You can choose 1 person (anybody) that will accompany you in your flight. Up in
the air, you two will watch the balloons fly by and will exchange a few
thoughts.
     Cabbages planted on Spring 2nd will be ready to pick today.

9th of Spring: Second Batch of Turnips
     Your second crop of Turnips is ready. Go out into the fields and pick some
of these white little beauties. The proceeds should go towards another animal;
specifically, a cow (perhaps a sheep if you prefer).

10th of Spring: Go Chop Some Wood
     Now that you have plenty of cash to grow crops, you might want to save
time (remember, time is money!) by purchasing a Greenhouse. Not only will this
nifty extension allow you to grow crops year-round (including in the Winter),
you'll spend no time doing it (at least in the game). However, there are some
cons to a greenhouse. First of all, rain won't water the crops. You'll still
have to water them yourself. Second, it costs a ton of gold and lumber, so you
might as well start saving and chopping wood soon. Also, it can be blown away
in a typhoon. This means all of your money, lumber and crops inside of it will
be gone. Bummer.
     Because of this I recommend that you wait until Fall to buy a Greenhouse.
That will also give you time to save some money and chop some more wood.
However, the New Hot Springs has replaced the three stumps, which limits the
amount of wood you can chop in a day. Start making a habit out of chopping
wood. You'll need all you can get. And hey, if you have any left over you can
get a cool Bathroom, too.

11th of Spring-12th of Spring: Normal Work Days

13th of Spring: Double Veggie Day
     Guess what? More potatoes! Yipee! Run around your farm celebrating until
nighttime. Then stay awake all night drinking beer. No, actually, pick the
potatoes and get to your daily chores.
     Not only are there potatoes, but turnips! Wow, what a day. You'll probably
spend most of it picking crops, but leave time for other chores.

14th of Spring: Normal Work Day

15th of Spring: Cabbages and Cows: Don't you love Alliteration?
     There are two parts to today, Cabbages and Cows. Follow the complex guide
below or think about the title some more.

Cabbages: Pick your cabbages. Put them in the Shipping Bin. Make Money.
Cows: Go to Green Ranch. Talk to Owner. Buy Cow. Name Cow. Brush Cow. Talk
      to Cow. Feed Cow.

16th of Spring: Enter the Horse Race
     The title is pretty self explanatory, but if you want, I'll go into
detail: Enter the Horse Race today. If you didn't win the trophy before, here's
another chance. If you've been slicing your horse with the axe and sickle,
however, your odds might be quite low.

17th of Spring: Local Horse Race
     This is the same festival as before, with the same food and items. Because
you have a little cash now, bet a few medals on a horse that you think will
win. Even if you lose, it's fun to bet.
     When it's time for your race, press the button repeatedly and with rhythm.
Remember to give it all you've got once the crowd begins to cheer (near the end
of the race).

18th of Spring: Normal Work Day

19th of Spring: Vote For the Flower Princess
     Unfortunately, your vote doesn't necessarily count for a lot. If the King
this year likes a particular girl, then it's likely that they will dance
together (for example, if Harris is King, Maria will most likely be the Flower
Princess). Your vote does count, however, so take a trip to the town square and
cast your ballot.

20th-21st of Spring: Normal Work Days

22nd of Spring: Popuri's #1 Day
     Today, shockingly, is Popuri's birthday. What's even more shocking is that
it's on the same day as it was the year before. What if it's on the same day
the next year? That would be freaky. Oh, yeah, Popuri likes flowers, so it'd be
a good idea to give a bouquet to her.
     Today is also the last day you can buy and plant cabbages (the Flower Shop
will be closed tomroow), so get another batch in before the year's end.

23rd of Spring: Flower Festival
     One of the most beautiful days of the year is here, decorated with Flowers
throughout the square. You can come, dance with the girl you like (or if you've
gotten married, your wife), and see who's been crowned Queen.

24th of Spring: Last Day to Plant Potatoes
     After today, potatoes won't sprout until it's too late. Go to the flower
shop and buy a couple bags to plant and harvest before the season's closing.

25th of Spring: Blue Mist Seeds
     Notice that scientist guy up at the base of Moon Mountain? He's searching
for the Emerald Butterfly, and here's a way to help him find it. Today, the
Blue Mist seeds will arrive at the Flower Shop. Buy them, and Popuri will help
you plant them in the rich soil of the forest. You have a big responsibility,
though. You must water them every day without missing a single day, or they
will die. Fortunately, you have until the end of Summer to get it full grown
and you can buy the seeds and try again as many times as you want.

26th of Spring: Last Day to Plant Turnips
    After today, no visits to the Flower Shop until summer will be necessary.
Go purchase some turnips to make some extra money for your Greenhouse.

27th-29th of Spring: Normal Work Days

30th of Spring: Visit the Vineyard for a Drink
     Visiting the Bar for some wine is perfectly fine, but you need to save
some money for your future Greenhouse. But you still want to be able to beat
everyone at the next New Year's Festival, right? There's a nice solution,
unless you have some moral obligation against "borrowing" wine from someone. Go
to the Vineyard and go into the Wine Cellar. Stand in front of one of the kegs.
Get your bottle out and press B. It may take try or two, but you'll fill it up
with wine! Drink some more (not too much!), then fill up the bottle again for
later. You can do this whenever you have spare time. It's not the same as the
lively bar, but hey, it's free.
     Also, if you have any leftover crops, pick them, but be sure to save one
for the Vegetable Festival at the beginning of Summer. My recommendation is
bring keep a Potatoe. Store whatever food you choose in the refrigerator of
your Kitchen.


SUMMER: Another lovely Summer have come back, and the hot winds will bring some
prosperous crops back as well. Corn and Tomatoes survive well in this harsh
time, but be wary of typhoons!

     Fireworks Celebration: 1st
     Vegetable Festival:    9th
     Firefly Festival:      17th
     Sea Festival:          24th

1st of Summer: Get Some Seeds!
     On this warm, humid first day of Summer, run to the flower shop and
purchase a bunch of seeds for your fields. Tomatoes will get you the most
money, but golden corn looks nice too, so buy a nice mixture of seeds. You
should spend today planting and watering your new crops. If you have any extra
time, talk to some of the people to learn how they feel about Summer.
     Don't forget about the Fireworks Festival at night. Go visit the girl you
like and spend the evening watching the gorgeous display of exploding lights.

2nd of Summer: Chop Wood and Tend Crops
     Like usual, you'll need two things for your greenhouse. Money and wood. So
you should make sure your crops will grow big and strong and that you have
plenty of wood to build it. Spend any extra time in your day to visit the
forest to talk and forage for some extra cash.

3rd of Summer: Blue Mist Flower
     If you bought and planted the Blue Mist seeds on the 25th of Spring and
watered them every day, the Blue Mist Flower should be in full bloom at the
mountain grove. Go look at the flower to see it's beauty and to get a special
treat.

4th of Summer: Normal Work Day

5th of Summer: Carpet Your Home
     You should have enough money by the end of Summer and still have a little
left over, so you should be able to buy something. Another house addition would
take up too much precious wood, so you'll have to get something else. Why not a
lovely carpet? This carpet will decorate the center of your main room and makes
it a little more cozy. It costs 3000g, but you should be able to afford it.
Spend the rest of your day as you normally would.

6th-7th of Summer: Normal Work Days

8th of Summer: Buy a Cow
     Plunk down the cash for another cow today. The extra revenue you'll get
will most definitely help you in the future.

9th of Summer: Vegetable Festival
     The Vegetable Festival is today. You should have saved a Vegetable from
the Spring in your Kitchen's refridgerator, but if you didn't it's OK. If you
did, take it out and get down to the Town Square before and give it to the
Mayor to enter. You'll have the best chance with a Potato. As you may have
discovered, the Potion Shop Owner is very good at growing food and usually
wins. See if this year it'll be different.

10th of Summer: Tomatoes Ready
     Just in time to miss the Vegetable Festival, you're tomatoes should be
ready to pick today. Don't forget to water them again and again to get more
harvests.

11th-13th of Summer: Normal Work Days

14th of Summer: Corn Ready
     Your Corn will be ready now. In four more quick days, another harvest will
be ready. How nice!

15th-16th of Summer: Normal Work Days

17th of Summer: Firefly Festival
     Today should be a normal work day. At night, however, head down to the
beach to celebrate the annual Firefly Festival with the rest of the
townspeople. Keep your grandfather in mind as you sail your firefly lantern out
to sea (I think I'm getting a little too into this game...).
     Today is also the last day you can plant corn and get one harvest before
the season is over.

18th-20th of Summer: Normal Work Days

21st of Summer: Last Day to Plant those Tomatoes
     If you want to even be able to get one small harvest of tomatoes in before
the season ends, you'll have to plant the seeds today and never miss a day of
watering.

22nd-23rd of Summer: Normal Work Days

24th of Summer: Sea Festival
     It's time for another Sea Festival, and it's a lovely day for swimming.
Head down to the beach somtime during the day to participate in the race to the
bouy. If you won last year, this year's prize will be very helpful toward your
goal of getting a Greenhouse: 500 pieces of wood! Swim like you've never swum
before!

25th-29th of Summer: Normal Work Days

30th of Summer: Last Day of Summer
     Summer has come to a close, and soon Fall will be here. Fortunately, you
should be nearing your money needed for a Greenhouse, so you'll be able to
continue to grow crops throughout the winter. Pick up any special mountain
items you want to save in your fridge, save a tomato for next year's Vegetable
Festival, then go to bed and wake up to a beautiful Autumn morining!


FALL: Your second Fall is upon you, and you know what that means... Winter's
coming soon. Fall's your last chance to build up feed and money before Winter
comes, where money is hard to make and feed will cost you extra gold.

4th of Fall:  Cow Festival
12th of Fall: Harvest Festival
20th of Fall: Egg Hunt Festival
28th of Fall: Local Horse Race

1st of Fall: Golden Leaves and Eggplants
     Those are the two major changes from summer to Fall. Wake up bright and
early and head down to the Flower Shop when it opens. Purchase at least 5 bags
of this. However, you will be getting your Greenhouse this Fall (where you will
spend most of your gardening), so you don't need to go overboard. Don't forget
to take a trip to the forest and collect some of the seasonal fruits.
     Also, today is Elli's birthday. If you're dating her, bring her some Milk
or Eggs to get an extra special thanks.

2nd-3rd of Fall: Normal Work Days

4th of Fall: Cow Festival
     The Cow Festival is today! The cow you raised from last Fall will be
producing large milk by now (assuming you took care of it), and it should be
your choice to send. If your cow wins (and it most likely will), it'll begin to
produce the luxorious gold milk, which you can sell for a hefty 500g.

5th of Fall: Bye-Bye Basil
     Basil, the devout plant studier and husband of Lillia, will set out on the
road again today. He'll be going to warmer places where rare plants grow,
because there won't be many plants growing during the Winter in Flower Bud
Village. Say goodbye, then continue the day as you normally would.

6th-7th of Fall: Normal Work Days

8th of Fall: First Eggplant Harvest
     Your eggplants will be ripe today and read for picking. Get on your horse
and ride around collecting them. The money will be put to good use soon.

9th-10th of Fall: Normal Work Days

11th of Fall: Eggplant Re-Harvest
     After every three days from now until the end of Fall, your eggplants will
be ready for picking again. Attack of the Killer Eggplants! No wait... that was
a different crop in this game...

12th of Fall: Harvest Festival
     The Harvest Festival is today, and you have another shot at being the
King. Head down to the Town Square after all your chores are done, and talk to
the girls, sample the foods they have, then eat the special cake. If you find a
coin in the cake, you'll be next year's King. If you didn't, better luck next
time.

13th-14th of Fall: Normal Work Day

15th of Fall: Buy a Greenhouse
     Well, this is it. The time has come for you to purchase a Greenhouse. A
Greenhouse will be incredibly useful for making money, especially in the coming
Winter. in a Greenhouse, you can grow any crop (and in Winter you can grow
strawberries). There's also a ton of room inside, and best of all, time stop
when you enter! Head into the forest and to the carpenter's house, and request
the extension. In a few days time, you'll get the beautiful Greenhouse for all
your growing needs.
     When it is built, head down to the Flower Shop and purchase some 1-12 bags
of Tomatoe seeds. Tomatoes will get you the most money out of any crop in the
Greenhouse. There is room for 16 3x3 squares of crops, but unfortunately, on
one side you won't be able to harvest the crop facing the wall, so its a good
idea to plant crops that only grow once
(strawberries/potatoes/cabbages/turnips). However, you can still plant
multiple-harvest crops there and make plenty of cash. It's up to you and what
you'd like to see in your Greenhouse (and hey, you can always chop down
unwanted/misplaced plants with the sickle).

16th-18th of Fall: Normal Work Days

19th of Fall: Buy Another Animal
     If you still have money left over from your Greenhouse purchase (and have
enough feed to last through the Winter), buy another animal (sheep or cow -
whichever you prefer). It's always nice to have more animals.

20th of Fall: Egg Hunt Festival
     The Egg Hunt has come again, and with it another game of "find the
matching egg". Like last year, it shouldn't be too hard to win. If you do
prevail, you'll get some lumber, which will help you make up for the lumber you
spent in building the Greenhouse.

21st-24th of Fall: Normal Work Days

25th of Fall: Save for a Bathroom
     With the new wood you should've won from the Egg Festival, you have enough
to build a bathroom. just think, a warm bath for you to relax in on snowy days.
It'll also help to prevent you from getting sick if you work too long in the
snow. However, you're probably a little strapped for cash after your
Greenhouse/crops purchase, so start saving money, and chop any additional wood
you might need.

26th of Fall: Normal Work Day

27th of Fall: Enter the Horse Race
     The Green Ranch Owner will drop by today and ask you if you'd like to
enter tomorrow's Horse Race. It's fun to do so, and if you haven't got the
picture yet, definitely do it.

28th of Fall: Fall Horse Race
     The second Horse Race of the year, and you'll be racing in it! Be sure to
arrive by 10:00 (definitely no later!) if you want to make it in time for the
first race. Many of the same things can be found at the Fall Horse Race that
are at the Spring Race too. Here are the prices:

Medals:   Use- Exchange for Prizes       Cost- 50 gold
Candy:    Found- Buyer's Booth           Cost- 120 gold
Fry:      Found- Buyer's Booth           Cost- 200 gold
Corn:     Found- Buyer's Booth           Cost- 250 gold
Iced Tea: Found- Baker's Booth           Cost- 150 gold
Cookie:   Found- Baker's Booth           Cost- 300 gold

Prizes:  New Stable-         3000 medals
         Stuffed Horse-      1000 medals
         Sustaining Carrot-  500 medals

29th of Fall: Normal Work Day

30th of Fall: Last Day of Fall
     Today's the last day of somewhat-cold weather. Tomorrow is the first of
really-cold weather. Pick a few Wild Grapes, Mushrooms, and herbs to put in
your refridgerator (in case you want to give them as gifts out-of-season).


WINTER: Once again, the chilling season of Winter rolls around. Wouldn't it be
nice to spend it indoors? Sorry, you'll have to work your butt off if you want
to have a good evaluation at the beginning of next Summer. Don't worry though,
you'll still have time to drink some hot tea at the bakery, take a dip in the
Hot Springs, and if you have enough cash, build a bathroom complete with
steaming bathtub. How cozy.

10th of Winter: Thanksgiving
19th of Winter: Local Dog Race
24th of Winter: Starry Night Festival
27th of Winter: Spirit Festival
30th of Winter: New Year's Eve

1st of Winter: Winter Begins
     OK, Winter has come, and the only source of income will be from your
animals and your Greenhouse. In order to start raking in the cash, I suggest
you fill your Greenhouse with plants (unless you already have or don't want
to). There are several purchases I'll be suggesting soon, and while they aren't
necessary, it's nice to have them, and a Greenhouse with crops will most likely
be needed to get them.

2nd of Winter: Chop Wood and Grow Greenhouse Crops
     There's not much to do in the beginning of Winter, so you may want to just
chop some wood. Don't forget about your Greenhouse crops, either. Wood is
essential for the Bathroom you'll be buying in a few days, so chop like crazy
to get enough wood.

3rd-5th of Winter: Normal Work Days

6th of Winter: Build a Bathroom
     OK, it's been less than a month since your giving up most (if not all) of
your wood for the Greenhouse, so it's understandable if you don't have the
materials yet for this. That's OK, just build it whenever you do. If you have
the right stuff, head up to the carpenter's house and ask them to build it. In
a few days, a nice bathroom will be added on tot he side of your kitchen. In
here, you can take a nice hot bath, and there's even a toilet (wonder what you
did before you had a bathroom...).

7th of Winter: Normal Work Day

8th of Winter: Mine Opens!!!
     Today is the official opening of the mine, and from now until the end of
the year you can take your trusty hoe to the cave and start digging for
treasure. The items you can find and their selling prices are as follows:

Iron Stone: 100 gold
Moonlight Stone: 500 gold
Blue Stone: 700 gold
Rare Minerals: 1000 gold.

You can also find many coins, which are worth 10 gold each. Also in the mine
are two types of roots and the weather vane. What are they? You'll have to find
out for yourself...

9th of Winter: Normal Work Day

10th of Winter: Thanksgiving
     The warming festival of Thanksgiving is today. If you happen to be
married, your wife will give you a cake. If not (and if you're married, you can
do it too), go around town and visit the girls to see if any baked you a cake.
If they have a high heart level (usually yellow to pink), you'll get a cake.
Bon appetite!

11th of Winter: Maria's Birthday
     Today is Maria's birthday, and it's a great opportunity to raise your
friendship with her. Bring her a Cabbage if you've planted any in your
Greenhouse. The rest of the day should be your normal work day.

12th-14th of Winter: Normal Work Days

15th of Winter: Mountain Day
     Spend all of today (except feeding and harvesting/watering) at the
mountain, visiting people, chopping wood, and digging for minerals in the mine.

16th-17th of Winter: Normal Work Days

18th of Winter: Enter the Dog Race
     The Green Ranch Owner will drop by in the morning and propose that your
dog enters the Local Dog Race tomorrow. Although it's tough to get him to win,
it doesn't hurt to enter.

19th of Winter: Local Dog Race
     Today's the Dog Race, and after you finish your chores on the farm, head
on down to the race track and see if your dog does well. Have a little fun and
bet on the other races, too.

20th-22nd of Winter: Normal Work Days

23rd of Winter: Bakery Visit
     The Bakery Raffle is coming up soon, and it'll be nice to take a break and
have a little snack. Enjoy a piece of cake and some hot tea while the snow
swirls outside.

24th of Winter: Starry Night
     On the Starry Night, go where your girlfriend goes and spend a nice
evening with her. The locations are listed below:

Popuri: Mountain Summit
Ann:    Church Performance
Elli:   Church Performance
Maria:  Church Performance
Karen:  Beach

Visit the girl you like and not only will she be very happy, you might share a
special moment together. If you don't have a girlfriend, head to the church for
the performance. Maria plays the organ while Ann and Elli play the Flute. This
performance is nice and is where some of the townspeople gather. Because it's
the Starry NIGHT festival, don't come until 7:00 p.m.

25th of Winter: Beginning of Bakery Drawing
     The Bakery Drawing starts today! Enter the drawing to win prizes, and buy
cakes to get more chances to win!

26th of Winter: Normal Work Day

27th of Winter: Spirit Festival
     The Spirit festival is great fun, a musical celebration. If you're friends
with the King this year, he'll ask you to help in the ceremony. It's best to
accept; it doesn't hurt, and it's fun.

28th of Winter: Browse the Shops
     As Winter ends, take a stroll through the Artisan's and the Tool Shop and
buy something to decorate your house with. It's obviously not essential to do
this, but it's nice and will make your house look better. One recommendation is
the carpet from the Tool Shop.

29th of Winter: End of Lottery & Karen's Birthday
     The Lottery ends today, so enter for the last time and buy a few cakes if
you're close to having another drawing. Today's also Karen's birthday, and if
you have any Verryberries or Wild Grapes left over, she'd be very happy to get
one.

30th of Winter: New Year's Eve
     Winter's finally ending, and the New Year is just around the corner.
Tonight, head down to the church (after 7:00) and you can listen to resolutions
and even get your fortune told by Elli. Talk to everyone, then leave. There's
no big ceremony, and you can't stay until midnight. If a girl likes you, she
may ask you to come somewhere with her before you go home.


                           - - YEAR THREE - -

SPRING: This is your third Spring, so you should be pretty used to what goes
on. Spring, like usual, is a welcome sight after the harsh, cold Winter. In You
probably know the festival dates by now, but they're listed below again for
your convenience.

1st of Spring:  New Year's Festival
8th of Spring:  Planting Festival
17th of Spring: Local Horse Race
23rd of Spring: Flower Festival

1st of Spring: New Year's Day
     New Year's is a time of celebration... and in Harvest Moon, getting drunk.
Head down to the Town Square, where you'll toast with all of the townspeople.
The more wine you can drink the better, so if you're used to it, it'll benefit
you.

2nd of Spring: Buy Seeds
     If you'd like to have a garden outside of your Greenhouse, buy some
vegetable and you can make even more money. However, I recommend transforming
your outdoors into a huge field of flowers. It looks very nice, and you should
be getting enough money from the Greenhouse.

3rd of Spring: Plant Grass
     Now that you have a Greenhouse, you won't need to take up much (if any)
space outdoors, so expand your lawn and plant some more grass. Head down to the
Flower Shop today and purchase some grass seed.

4th of Spring: Purchase Animal
     If you haven't filled your barn up yet, buy another cow or sheep to make
some more money (and to look better for your evaluation next Summer). Another
animal, while a little more work, will be worth the effort. Consider buying
some potion to make a cow pregnant, and raise a calf yourself.

5th of Spring: First Turnip Harvest
     If you planted turnips on the second, they should be ready for harvest
today. However, if you grew any in your Greenhouse, they could've been ready
before or after this.

6th of Spring: Normal Work Day

7th of Spring: First Potato Harvest
     Like the first turnip harvest, this only applies if you planted on the
second of Spring.

8th of Spring: Planting Festival
     Once again, the Planting festival will take place. If you're King, you get
to fly in the balloon, and if you're not, you get to let balloons go from the
ground. Fun, but over quickly either way.


9th of Spring-12th of Spring: Normal Work Days

13th of Spring: Build Log Terrace
     Your wood-chopping throughout the Winter and the money you get from your
Greenhouse should allow you to buy this, which will be nice to have for your
evaluation. Visit the carpenter today with 7000g and 350 lumber and he'll
construct one for you.

14th-15th of Spring: Normal Work Days

16th of Spring: Enter the Horse Race
     This will be your fifth Horse Race, so you should know the drill by now.
The Green Ranch Owner will come by today, and ask you if you want to enter.
Unless you're not gonna go, I suggest entering.

17th of Spring: Local Horse Race
     Head down to the racetrack after the chores are done and watch the races.
If you have a lot of cash, bet on the horses and buy some things to eat while
you watch.

18th of Spring: Normal Work Day

19th of Spring: Vote For the Flower Princess
     From now until the 22nd, you can vote for the Flower Princess. Cast your
vote for who you think should win whenever you have time.

20th-21st of Spring:

22nd of Spring: Popuri's Birthday
     Today's Popuri's birthday, and a quick trip to the forest to pick some
flowers for her will greatly boost her affection towards you.

23rd of Spring: Flower Festival
     One of the most beautiful days of the year is here, decorated with Flowers
throughout the square. You can come, dance with the girl you like (or if you've
gotten married, your wife), and see who's been crowned Queen.

24th of Spring: Last Day to Plant Potatoes (In the Field)
     While you can grow them year-round in the Greenhouse, and Potatoes grown
outdoors won't become ready for harvest before the season ends, so plant them
now if you're still planting outdoors.

25th of Spring: Blue Mist Seeds
     Notice that scientist guy up at the base of Moon Mountain? He's searching
for the Emerald Butterfly, and here's a way to help him find it. Today, the
Blue Mist seeds will arrive at the Flower Shop. Buy them, and Popuri will help
you plant them in the rich soil of the forest. You have a big responsibility,
though. You must water them every day without missing a single day, or they
will die. Fortunately, you have until the end of Summer to get it full grown
and you can buy the seeds and try again as many times as you want.

26th of Spring: Last Day to Plant Turnips
     While you can grow them year-round in the Greenhouse, and Turnips grown
outdoors won't become ready for harvest before the season ends, so plant them
now if you're still planting outdoors.

27th of Spring: Last Few Days Before Evaluation
     In a few mere days (Summer 1st to be exact), your father will come to
visit you. In these last few days, purchase animals, sell crops, and make
friends as best you can in the time allotted. Don't worry, you won't get
penalized for a poor evaluation, but it's always nice to do good.

28th-29th of Spring: Normal Work Days

30th of Spring: Get Prepared for the Evaluation
     Well, today there isn't really much you can do to prepare, but just get
ready for tomorrow. Ship a few extra things to make some more cash. Good luck!


*Well, you've done it! You've made it through an entire game, and you've made a
lot of friends to boot. Continue harvesting and making friends, or start a new
game and try one of the other walkthroughs. Good luck in the future of
farming!*

                              *   *   *

                            - - YEAR 1 - -

SPRING: Fresh Dew, Chirping birds, and the sound of a maniac sprinting down the
road so he can collect some herbs and add to his money. As a basic rule, if you
want to get as much money as possible, you'll have to skip festivals. I fact,
you'll eventually come to curse them as shops are closed on those days. Spring
is a great season to get started, but getting started is the hardest part,
especially when you're trying to conserve money. If you ever have any extra
time, search for Power Berries to increase your stamina.

3rd of Spring: Getting Started
     When you get up, don't forget to check the TV. Get in a habit of doing
this, because remember that time stops while you're inside. Don't bother with
doing anything for your dog, he's worthless (yeah it's cruel, but spending time
trying to find him is bad). You might want to take him inside and leave him
there forever. Decline the Mayor's offer of the town tour and get to work
clearing your fields. Once you have a 4x4 space clear, go to town and buy some
Potato seeds. Sorry for you cabbage planters but I made a mistake in my
calculations and you will actually only get three cabbage harvests as opposed
to the potatoes four. Get your single plot of potatoes planted and watered
(close to the shipping bin, of course), then head for the forest and get as
much as possible. If you have time, go to the cave before anywhere else because
the items there will get you a total of 170 gold, much higher than 40-70 gold
you can get in other areas. Don't waste any time with flowers. Spend the rest
of the night clearing land, but it is imperative that you do not get sick, so
go to bed at a decent time.

4th of Spring: Get a Foal
     It's more important to get money every day, so reserve some time (2-4
hours) at the end of every day early in the game so you can head to the forest
and get some money making items. Today, get a foal from the Green Ranch. Here's
some rules for taking care of it:
*Don't Spend time trying to find it. Whistle for it when you stay outside for a
while, and it may eventually come to you. It's not important enough to talk to
it that you should waste substantial time looking for it.
*Don't Brush it. Talking will take a lot longer, but the brush is a large
investment early in the game when you need the money for more important things.
If you made 200 gold from the day before (which you should have. Expect to make
at least 200g every day from the mountain), head to town to buy some cabbages.
Plant 'em and water 'em. Finish up the day by clearing all your stumps, and
start working on the rocks.

5th of Spring: Clear the Forest
     Today, spend a decent amount of time foraging. You'll make 430 gold if you
collect every plant in the forest, so do so. Buy two packs of potato seeds. You
should start taking more time away from clearing land and put more into
collecting selling items from the mountain.

6th of Spring: Field of Potatoes
     From now on, instead of planting new potato plots, plant cabbages. You'll
make more money of it now. Continue to replace your old potato plots with
potatoes, though. By the end of the day you should have four potato plots and
two cabbage plots. Start clearing a little area off to the side for grass.

7th of Spring: More Cabbages! More! More!
     Once again, spend all of your earnings from the forest on cabbage seeds.
You should still be getting +30 gold a day, and that will eventually
accumulate.

8th of Spring: Clearing Land
     Your land should be free of Rocks by now, and you should only spend a
little amount of time at the end of the day clearing from now on. Spend more
time in the forest getting money for cabbage seeds!

9th of Spring: First Potato Harvest
     Your potatoes from day 1 should be ready to pick, and you'll get a nice
520 gold for it. Spend it on grass, so you can start to have some fodder to
feed your future cows. Also, quit with buying cabbages, go back to the potatoes
again now. Because of your harvesting, you might have to cut down on some other
chores, such as clearing land or maybe some of the trip to the forest (but be
sure to make enough in your trip to replace the potatoes).

10th of Spring: Some More Taters
     Ahh, another lovely batch of potatoes is ready to pick, and with its
earnings you can buy more potato seeds.

11th of Spring: Double potatoes
     What's this? Two potato harvests in one day? Excellent... Instead of
spending it all, use the forest money for new seeds and use this money to save
up for a chicken (you're almost there!).

12th of Spring: Normal Work Day
     Forage in the forest, buy some new seeds, water your crops, and clear a
little land. This describes a normal work day.
