Harvest Moon 64 - Strategy Guide (Page 06)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Harvest Moon 64 - Strategy Guide (Page 06).

13th of Spring: Cabbage Harvest #1
     Some fresh little cabbage leaves are sprouting from the damp soil. What a
tranquil little journey these cabbages have gone through to become large. It's
too bad that you'll have to rip them out of the ground so you can make a little
money. But the 610 gold you make will be great towards your chicken purchase.
In fact, go down to the Green Ranch today and get a chicken. Also, plant
cabbages instead of potatoes from now to the 15th.

14th of Spring: Chicken Farm
     While more and more plots of crops are sprouting in your fields, you
should begin to work on your poultry empire. The first egg that you get should
not be sold, but instead put in the incubator to make more chickens. Continue
this process until you have a full coop of six chickens.

15th of Spring: 2nd Potato Harvest
     Your re-planted potato plots should be back with some more fresh potatoes,
or as they say in french, "pomme de terre" (that translates directly into
"apple of the earth"). Also, go back to planting potatoes once again.

16th of Spring-18th of Spring: Normal Work Day

19th of Spring: Back to Cabbages
     The tables have turned. From now on, you can only get one harvest from
each plot. Therefore, Cabbages (making the most money) are the top choice.
Plant them now until the 23rd.

20th of Spring: Cabbage Harvest #2
     Your second harvest of Cabbages should be here, and the money should go
towards your first cow.

21st of Spring: 3rd Potato Harvest
     Yum, more tasty vegetables are sprouting from the ground. You'll have lots
of cash now, and you should be getting closer to that cow!

23rd of Spring: Last Day to Plant Cabbages!!!
     After this day absolutely DO NOT PLANT CABBAGES! If you do, they will die
when the seasons change. Be sure not to waste valuable money, but be sure to
get a lot of cabbage seeds to plant today.

24th of Spring: Last Day to Plant Potatoes!!!
     Oh no! The choices of crops are diminishing quickly, so if you didn't
spend enough on cabbage seeds, get some potato seeds. What should you plant
after this? Go to the low-profit turnip seeds. They won't make you nearly as
much money, but they will be all you can plant and harvest in time for summer.

25th of Spring: Normal Work Day

26th of Spring: Last Day to plant Turnips!!!
     This is it, the absolute last day to plant crops in the Spring!!! It
actually may be wise to spend as much as you can afford (or plant), because
you'll still make a good profit from it. Buy like crazy!

27th of Spring: Full Chicken Coop
     By now there should be a full pen of chickens at your farm. True, some of
them may still be chicks, but the coop should be full. Be sure to stock up on
as much feed as you can when you visit the Green Ranch, because frequent trips
will waste time.

28th of Spring: Buy a Brush and a Cow
     You've finally got enough chickens, and now what? A cow??? Don't worry,
you should have plenty of money from your crops and chickens to afford this
animal. In fact, if you've saved up enough money before now it would be great
to get one. You'll need a brush to take care of it, and a good amount of grass
(a few plots should do) to feed it. After getting it, don't ever take it
outside! This will waste time getting it in and out, something you can't
afford.
     Now that you have the brush, it might be a good idea to brush your horse
so it grows up quicker. However, only do this if you have time.

29th of Spring: Normal Work Day

30th of Spring: Last Day of Spring
      Ahh, a prosperous season of money and more money. You have a baby cow,
six chickens (maybe a few chicks), and a horse that should be getting close to
maturity. You should celebrate... perhaps a drink at the bar? Yeah right! This
is the fortune walkthrough! If you want consolation give yourself a pat on the
back. You've got some Summer crops to plant!


SUMMER: The lazy days of Summer... at least for others. Summer is the most
profitable season, and you'd better take advantage of it if you want to get a
Greenhouse before Winter (which is definitely needed for the success of
millionaires). Tomatoes are your main cash crop, but trips to the forest can
prove helpful for those lean times. Summer also has many festivals that you
won't go to. Festivals are for the lazy bums who don't know how to work.

1st of Summer: Buy Some Seeds
     Today you'll spend entirely in your fields planting and watering crops.
You must get enough crops this season so you can get a Greenhouse in the middle
of Fall. You won't have to purchase new crops in the middle of the season (you
should plant all the space you can with tomatoes), so there is no need for me
to tell you when corn will be more beneficial to grow than tomatoes. Anyway,
Here's the timeline for today:

6:00- Because the shop isn't open yet, make use of your time by tilling
      any soil that's still untilled from spring. Try to get as many
      crops in this season, so till as much as you can. If you get done
      early, head to the forest and quickly grab some stuff to sell.
8:30- Go to town and visit the Flower Shop. Purchase as many tomato
      seeds as you can plant. Rush back to your farm quickly. Plant the
      seeds and water them.
2:30- If you need more time to plant, it's OK if you need to. For those
      fast workers, head to the forest and get some plants you can sell.
5:30- Head back to the farm and put in your fruits and other plants.
      Feed the animals and do any other last minute chores.
8:30- After finishing your work, go back to your house and go to sleep.

2nd of Summer: Crops First, Plants Second
     Your main duty every day is to make sure you water your crops. Make sure
this gets done, because you'll need every gold piece. If you're done watering,
cut your grass for feed for your animals. Go to the forest for plants to sell
after that. If all of your chores are done, chop some wood. You'll need it when
you have to build the Greenhouse. This should be your schedule for every day.
If you have free time after that, don't forget that there are Power Berries out
there that will raise your stamina. But you probably won't have time to find
them, with all the chores you have to do.

3rd of Summer: Mature Horse
     If you remembered to talk and brush your horse every day, you may have a
mature horse by now, but chances are you won't. When it does grow big, its
saddle bags are a priceless item. And best of all, they're free! When your
horse matures it will instantly have saddlebags, which are the same as a
portable shipping bin. This will save you a lot of time in the fields. If you
don't have the saddlebags, the second quickest way to transport items is to
load 8 into your backpack and carry a ninth. Take them out one by one. While it
may seem slow, you actually go much quicker than you would by running back and
forth.

4th-5th of Summer: Normal Work Days

Typhoon Day: The Natural Disaster
     Typhoons are awful. The destroy crops, which will seriously cut into your
funds. If you want to get the maximum money possible, copy your game into
different files so you can bail out when you see a typhoon. This is tedious,
but will save you a lot of money.

6th of Summer: Purchase Another Cow
     Although it's cheaper to raise cows, there are three good reasons why you
shouldn't:

1. Your little cow isn't old enough yet
2. A cow will produce small milk when pregnant, cutting deeply into your funds
(more than it will save)
3. A baby cow will take just as long to grow, but will also hinder the adult.

Buying a cow won't cost that much, and it'll actually save you money. Only buy
this if you have enough feed. Be sure to crush and talk to it so it'll grow big
fast.

7th-8th of Summer: Normal Work Days

9th of Summer: 1st Tomato Harvest!
     Finally! Your crops will finally be pulling their weight and getting you
some nice cash. You'll have to spend most of your day planting and watering. In
three days, more red, ripe tomatoes will sprout from the same vines. What a
beautiful season Summer is!

10th-11th of Summer: Normal Work Days

12th of Summer: Tomato Re-harvest
     As I said before, new tomatoes will sprout in three days, as long as you
continue to water them. These lovely red money-makers sell for a nice 300 gold
apiece. Load them into your horses saddlebags if it's old enough to carry them.

13th-14th of Summer: Normal Work Days

15th of Summer: Another Tomato Re-harvest
     Some nice red tomatoes will be ready today, so spend time picking them to
get money for your greenhouse. Also don't forget to take care of your animals,
because they provide good income, too.

16th of Summer: Stumped? Chop Some Wood!
     You want and NEED a Greenhouse this year, so what should you do to meet
the hefty 580 wood requirement? You can bump chopping wood up on your list of
chores to get more wood. However, only do this if you also have enough money
for a greenhouse. Money will probably be your #1 concern. After you have enough
cash, worry more about wood.

17th of Summer: Normal Work Day

18th of Summer: Once Again, Tomatoes Are Ready
     Make more and more profits off your quickly growing tomatoes. It'll
definitely come in handy in the Fall. It would also be nice to have some more
cows... but save those thoughts for later. Your Greenhouse is your #1 priority
now.

19th of Summer: Normal Work Day

20th of Summer: Last Day to plant Tomatoes
     If for some odd reason you've waited this long to plant tomatoes, this is
the last day you can plant and make a profit off of them before the end of
Summer. You should have a fairly full field of them, but if you don't you can
still make a quick buck off of them.

21st of Summer: This is Getting Repetitive...
     More tomatoes. That's pretty much all I have to say for today. Oh yes, I
nearly forgot the also repetitive "don't blow you rmoney on anything, you're
aving for a Greenhouse!" motivational speech.

22nd-23rd of Summer: Normal Work Days

24th of Summer: Guess What's Red and Ripe and Harvestable Today?
     That's right, tomatoes. These poor plants are dreadfully overworked. Oh
well, they'll be dieing soon, so I guess they won't have to worry much longer.

25th-26th of Summer: Normal Work Days

27th of Summer: Tomatoes Are Back
     The people of the town must be sick of eating tomatoes. But you won't
stop. You get good money for them. And money is what you need.

28th-29th of Summer: Normal Work Days

30th of Summer: Last Day of Summer and Last Day of Tomatoes
     Today's the last day you'll be having summertime and the last day you'll
have to pick those darn tomatoes. Luckily, the Fall has a replacement crop very
similar in growing patterns to tomatoes. So you'll still have something to
spend all day picking.


FALL: Fall has come and soon the end of the year will be here. Fall isn't a
good season for potential millionaires, because the Eggplants that can be grown
don't give you much return. Fortunately, later in the season you'll be able to
get a Greenhouse, which is perfect for growing crops.

1st of Fall: Buy Packages of Eggplant Seeds
     Like every season's first day, today will be spent slicing away old crops,
buying new ones, planting the new one's, watering them, and waiting for the
cash to come in. The only Fall choice for crops is the Eggplant, so you'll have
to buy them if you want any money from crops. Eggplants don't give you a large
profit, so you'll need to plant a lot of them if you want a serious income.

2nd of Fall: Chop More Wood and Look for Plants
     Visit the forest today and chop some more wood for your future Greenhouse.
Also, don't forget to grab some of the plants that grow in the forest while
you're up there, as money is also needed for a Greenhouse.

3rd of Fall: Enter Your Cow
     The Green Ranch owner will come by today and ask you if you'd like to
enter your cow into the Cow Festival. Say yes. Yep, you heard me. I'll explain
it in the next entry.

4th of Fall: Cow Festival
     What's this? A festival? No, I'm not joking, this festival will actually
be beneficial to you if you win it. If you have a large cow that is producing
large milk (you can also try to win if it's producing lower than that, but it's
not likely you will), bring it to the festival for a chance to win. Of course,
don't go to the Green Ranch (where it's held) until the end of the day
(4:00-5:00) so you don't waste time. When you get there, you can actually enjoy
yourself! I know this doesn't sound like it belong sin the Fotune Walkthrough,
but it does. If your cow wins first prize, it'll begin to produce gold milks,
which can be sold for 500g! Now it's beginning to sound more like the Fortune
Walkthrough... heh heh heh...

5th-7th of Fall: Normal Work Days

8th of Fall: Buy Another Cow
     Begin to fill up more of your barn with another cow. This extra cow will
be bringing in some good money by the year's end, and it'll be worth it. If
you're in danger of not having enough money for the Greenhouse, than you can
skip this, but another cow would be very helpful to your income.
     Guess what? Your eggplants will be ready today too, so you can make a
little more cash for the cow, and if there's any left over, for your
Greenhouse.

9th-10th of Fall: Normal Work Days

11th of Fall: Second Eggplant Harvest
     Your eggplants will be ready again. Harvest them and save the money for
your Greenhouse... it's getting near time to buy it.

12th-13th of Fall: Normal Work Days

14th of Fall: Third Eggplant Harvest
     This is your last chance to bring in some serious money before you spend
the cash for a Greenhouse.

15th of Fall: Buy the Greenhouse
     Take a trip to visit the Carpenters up in the forest and pay them the wood
and the money necessary to get a Greenhouse. If you can do this sooner, great,
do it sooner, but if you need to wait a while longer, well, I guess you have no
choice but to wait. The Carpenters should finish there work in a few days.
Until then, save money for crops for your Greenhouse.

16th of Fall: Normal Work Day

17th of Fall: Fourth Eggplant Harvest
     These eggplants you harvest today will help you bring in some cash for
crops in your Greenhouse.

18th of Fall: Buy Crops for Greenhouse
     The Greenhouse should be completed soon, and you'll need some crops to put
in it. The Greenhouse can fit 16 squares of crops, but on some you will not be
able to reach all sides. Plant there anyway. The best crop to plant is
Tomatoes, as it will get you the most cash. If you have 4800 gold, purchase the
seed necessary. If you're qiped out from buying the Greenhouse, buy as much as
you can afford and work your way up.

19th of Fall: Fifth Eggplant Harvest

20th-21st of Fall: Normal Work Days

22nd of Fall: Sixth Eggplant Harvest

23rd of Fall: The Bridge
     What's this? A social event? And I'm telling you to do it? Yes indeed. Not
only will you spend nearly no time working on the bridge, you'll get a nice
1000 gold each day, which will help build up your cash after the spending
spree. You can go anytime before 3:00... try to go as late as you can. The work
ends at three, but your pay doesn't depend on how much you work. The only
downfall to this is that you can't go to the mountains before 3:00 or you'll be
forced to work. If you think you can make more than 1000 gold a day off the
plants and items growing here, skip building the bridge.

24th of Fall: Normal Work Day

25th of Fall: Seventh Eggplant Harvest

26th of Fall: Normal Work Day

27th of Fall: Bridge is Complete
     The Carpenters will finish the bridge today, and you'll have an extra 5000
gold (if you helped every day) for spending 10 minutes of your time. Very nice.
5000 gold will be enough to buy a full set of crops for the Greenhouse, if you
haven't already.

28th of Fall: Normal Work Day

29th of Fall: Last Eggplant Harvest

30th of Fall: Winter's Coming
     Tomorrow starts Winter, and nothing will grow... at least outside, anyway.
If you don't have your Greenhouse by now, you'll be in for some trouble making
money, so it's incredibly important to have it before Winter starts. Be sure to
chop all your grass so you can have feed to give to your animals.


WINTER: Winter is a very harsh time of year, and raising money is very
troublesome. Be sure to have a Greenhouse before you enter, or your cash flow
will come to a grinding halt.

1st of Winter: How to Spend Your Winter Days
     Since most of your chores will be done indoors, you'll have a lot of free
time in the Winter. You won't need any more wood, either, so there's not really
much you can do. Until the mine opens, you can do whatever you want to fill the
free time. If you want, spend some time using your tools so they power up.

2nd of Winter: Cows from the Ranch
     The Green Ranch Owner will come by today and ask you to watch some of his
cows. If you have some extra feed, do it, because you'll get some money for
doing it. He'll pick them up on the 5th.

3rd-5th of Winter: Normal Work Days

6th of Winter: Buy a Cow
     Money from your Greenhouse should be beginning to pour in, and celebrate
by buying another Cow... to make even more moeny! He he he he he!

7th of Winter: Normal Work Day

8th of Winter: Mine Opens
     The mine opens today, and at last you can spend the day getting some
money. However, finding stuff in the mine is pure chance, and it'll eat up most
of your time. Oh well.

9th-11th of Winter: Normal Work Days

12th of Winter: Build Hot Springs
     Working on the Hot Springs is exactly like building the bridge. You get
paid! Like with the bridge, go as little before 3:00 as possible.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to visit the mines these days. If you think
you can make more money at the mine (1000 gold a day), skip this.

13th-15th of winter: Normal Work Days

16th of Spring: Hot Springs Completed
     The work (and pay) stops today. Go back to your normal mining schedule,
with an extra 5000 gold in your pocket.

17th-19th of Winter: Normal Work Days

20th of Winter: Buy a(nother) Cow
     You'll be filling up your barn this Winter. Buy another Cow today and
begin to raise it.

21st-25th of Winter: Normal Work Days

26th of Winter: Buy Yet Another Cow
     Read the title and you'll know what to do. At least I hope you can
understand something as simple as that...

27th-29th of Winter: Normal Work Days

30th of Winter: Get Ready for Spring
     Spring starts tomorrow, and with it a new season of Turnips, Potatoes, and
Cabbage. Plant your fields with it to make even more money than your Greenhouse
alone. That's all. It's up to you now to get as much gold as possible. Good
luck!


*This is the end of the Fortune Walkthrough. Because you will not participate
in any social events, the second year will be nearly identical to the first, so
this year will also generally work for Year 2 and beyond.*

It's finally here! Since Day 1 people have been waiting for this walkthrough,
and now it's here! I was originally going to put it all into a single
walkthrough, but I recently decided that would be too big and confusing. So I
instead opted to make individual walkthroughs for each of the girls. But what
about you people who want to date all the girls at once? I may have something
for you soon... but for the rest of you normal people who are content with 1
girl, you'll love this little walkthroughs of joy.


                               *   *   *

                        ~Walkthrough #1: Popuri~

Popuri, the little flower bud with pink hair, works at the Flower Shop. Because
she grew up surrounded by flowers (not only did her parents own the flower
shop, she was born the day before the Flower Festival!), she loves to be around
them. She is sort of a perfectionist when it comes to flowers, and is very
happy about people interested in growing flowers. She has some friends, mainly
Elli and Ann. Her mother wants her to get married soon... who will be her
husband? Here's the facts about her:

Locations: Outside Flower Shop, Inside Flower Shop, Bakery, Summit     
Birthday: Spring 22nd                 Rival: Gray (Ann's Brother)  Fireworks:
Mountain                   Starry Night: Mountain           Special Likes:
Flowers                Befriend: Parents                                   Also
Likes: Cake, Pie                                                 Dislikes:
Butterflies                 Chores: Crates Eggs, Waters Plants

                              *   *   *

                            - - YEAR 1 - -

SPRING: Spring is Popuri's favorite season, because of many things. Not only is
her birthday in this season, her favorite festival, the Flower Festival, is the
after! Also, her father returns home and many flower seeds are on sale (and
wild flowers are growing in the forest). There's a lot of things to do to
impress her, so get started early!

3rd of Spring: Get to Know Popuri
     Accept the mayor's offer for the town tour, and you'll meet Popuri and her
mother Lillia.
     After the salutations, head to the forest to get some items to sell and
some flowers. Popuri loves Flowers, so pick between 2-6 for her every day. When
you go to visit her, also bring a gift for her mother, Lillia. If you become
friends with her, Popuri will like you more.
     While you're at the Flower Shop, don't forget to get seeds. Dating
somebody isn't cheap, and you'll need money to impress her and to buy gifts for
her.

4th of Spring: Normal Gift Day
     On a normal gift day, give Popuri anywhere from 2-6 flowers. You might
want to throw in something else for variety, but it's best that you give her
flowers (you can't sell them) and keep the other stuff (you can sell them).

5th of Spring: Plant Some Flowers
     Popuri really likes to see flowers on your farm, and it'd be easier to get
through the tough "white heart" stage with some help. Buy a package of Moondrop
Seeds and make a little fenced off area to be your garden. You can also put
grass in there to make it even more beautiful (but I suggest waiting until you
have more money to include grass/more flowers).

6th of Spring: Lillia Loves Flowers
     Lillia, Popuri's mother who owns the Flower Shop, is one of the characters
you must please in order to get Popuri to like you. This shouldn't be hard,
because Lillia is very friendly and likes pretty much anything you bring her.
You can't sell flowers, and she seems to like them the best, so bring them to
her during your visits with Popuri.

7th of Spring: Popuri's Locations
     Popuri goes to many different places. She's usually to the left of the
Flower shop, watering some unseen plants. If she's not there, there are some
other locations she may be. On most Sundays she visits the bakery for a snack,
and other times she'll go out to the forest (near the cave entrance). On rare
occasions she'll be at the grove, and sometimes up on the summit (you can't get
there yet).

Rainy Spring Day: Popuri's Inside
     Even though the rain is good for the plants, Popuri and Lillia don't
really like the rain. Visit them with some gifts. They both are inside the
Flower Shop.

8th of Spring: Planting Festival
     The townspeople like you more if you attend the festivals, so visit the
Town Square for the Planting Festival today. Popuri will be there, along with
Lillia, who will give you a balloon to release into the air. Talk to them and
the rest of the townspeople to learn about the tradition of the Planting
Festival.

9th-12th of Spring: Normal Gift Days

13th of Spring: Buy More Flowers
     Expand your tiny little garden with more Moondrop Flowers. Each plot you
have will make Popuri a little happier. Buy another package while visiting
Popuri and Lillia

14th of Spring: Chop Some Wood
     The girls like guys with bigger houses, so adding on to yours will help
convince her that you're good. To add on to your house, you'll need to chop
wood and have money. Spend a lot of today chopping wood for a Kitchen (or
perhaps a Greenhouse), but don't forget to harvest crops and get food from the
forest for money.

15th of Spring: Basil Returns
     Popuri's father, Basil, is a wandering traveler who goes to foreign lands
in search of strange and exotic plants and flowers. Today he returns from his
journeys, and will be staying until Fall. He'll drop by your farm at the
beginning of the day to say hello, and Popuri will come to get him. You can
visit him at the Flower shop from then on.

16th of Spring: Popuri's Parents
     Basil doesn't run the shop, so he likes to go out into the forest
sometimes and look at the plants. If you don't see him at the shop, he's
probably out in the forest by the fisherman's tent. He is another key person to
become friends with if you want to marry Popuri. He likes will like pretty much
anything you give him, but he also likes flowers. Popuri's parents like other
items better, but you can grow them only during the Summer. Until then, make do
with some flowers. Eight fit perfectly into your bag, and you can give one to
Lillia, one to Basil, and the rest to Popuri!

17th of Spring: Local Horse Race
     This is another Festival that Popuri attends, and it would be wise if you
did too. Although Popuri likes to bet, don't spend your money at this early
point of your farming. Just watch and enjoy the races.

18th of Spring: Normal Gift Day

19th of Spring: Vote for the Flower Princess
     Today is the first day that you can vote for the Flower Princess, and you
can choose between Popuri, Ann, Elli, Maria, or Karen. Because the Potion Shop
owner is the King, whoever you vote for will most likely become the Flower
Princess. You'd think you should vote for Popuri (seeing as she loves flowers),
but you probably shouldn't. If you do, you won't get to dance with her, which
is a big opportunity to raise her affection towards you. Instead, vote for one
of the other girls. The voting box is at the bottom of the Town Square, on a
table near the lower exit.

20th-21st of Spring: Normal Gift Days

22nd of Spring: POPURI'S BIRTHDAY!!!
     This is the big time of the year, the birthday of the girl you love!
Popuri, the little flower lover, has a birthday the day right before the Flower
Festival. As Lillia says "Basil was so excited, he was saying that the flower
goddess and the whole town celebrated her birth."  You should too, by
continuing to bring her flowers. She'll be very happy that you remembered her
birthday. Don't forget this day, because it's the biggest day of the year if
you're going after Popuri!

23rd of Spring: Flower Festival
     Popuri's favorite festival is today, and is held in the Town Square. Be
sure to come, not only because Popuri will be there, but also because you get
to dance at the end! After talking with all the townspeople, the Flower
Princess (whom you voted for beforehand) will come in with her entourage (the
other girls). Talk to them, then the mayor will announce that the dancing will
begin soon. Choose Popuri as your partner, and watch yourselves dance!
     Another big part of the Flower Festival is that you have a chance to buy
things. A mysterious man is selling an expensive "Power Nut", but you'll
probably find the Pink Cat Mint Seeds that Lillia is selling more affordable.
Purchase a package or two to have these beautiful flowers bloom on your farm.
This is your only chance during the entire year to buy them, so take advantage
of it!

24th-28th of Spring: Normal Gift Days

29th of Spring: Flower Garden
     Buy another package of Moondrop Seeds to go with your other Moondrops and
new Pink Cat Mint Seeds. Plant them in your garden and water them just like any
other plant. However, the question is, should you pick them after they've
grown? The answer's no, because Popuri won't notice them if they're not there!
There's plenty of flowers to be found in the forest, so there shouldn't be any
need to, either.

30th of Spring: Last Day of Spring
     This is the last day of Spring, but you should go about your normal
routine. Flowers will still grow in the forest during the Summer, so you
shouldn't be alarmed about anything. Continue today as if it were another
Spring Day (which it is).


SUMMER: Your daily schedule shouldn't change too much with the arrival Summer,
but Popuri may be in different places than before. Search around if you can't
find her.

1st of Summer: Fireworks Festival
     Don't forget that just because you're very committed to Popuri doesn't
mean that your fields must go untended. Buy some seeds (from the flower shop...
how convenient!) and plant. Tomatoes are the best money makers, and Lillia also
likes them (she'll even be kind enough to share a recipe with you if you give
her one).
     Also, today is the Fireworks Festival. Popuri watches them from the
mountain summit (you can get there by climbing the tree behind the carpenter's
house). Visit her on this special occasion to watch the fireworks explode and
she'll be very happy.

2nd of Summer: Flowers Are Still Around
     The hot, humid days of summer have withered some of the plant life in
other regions, but luckily for you the mountain plants are surviving just fine.
This includes the beautiful wild Moondrop flowers that grow in the grove and by
the river. These should once again be your main gifts to Popuri, as with Basil
and Lillia.

3rd of Summer: Extend your Garden
     Moondrop Seeds are still on sale at the Flower Shop, so buy another
package and make your garden larger. Because the Flowers are still abundant in
the forest, you can keep these in the garden and won't have to worry about
picking them... yet.

4th-5th of Summer: Normal Gift Days

6th of Summer: Buy a Room Organizer
     A Room Organizer, which should be new to the tool shop, is very helpful in
your quest for Popuri's hand in marriage. Once the cold Fall and Winter come
around, there will be no flowers anywhere. What to do? Store flowers in them!
If you have any extra flowers, you can start putting them in here to store them
(but you should have plenty from your fields to fill the Room Organizer).

7th-8th of Summer: Normal Gift Days

9th of Summer: Buy a Chicken and Some Feed
     A steady flow of cash will be very helpful, so you should start out by
buying a Chicken and 10-20 packages of feed from the Green Ranch. To save
money, you can keep your chicken outside (as long as you have enough wood to
fence in a grassy area). It'll produce some eggs that sell for 50g. Not much,
but it'll add up in the long run. Keep some feed handy at all times in case
there's a rainy day coming.
     Also, today is the Vegetable Festival. Popuri goes, and she'd be happy to
see you there, so you might as well go, too.

10th of Summer: Tomatoes are Ready!
     Your first batch of tomatoes will be ready to pick today. Sell most of
them for profit, but save one or two to give to Lillia. She'll be very happy.
Don't forget to water them after you pick them to get more tomatoes in three
measly days. You should usually leave one out to give to Lillia.

11th-12th of Summer: Normal Gift Days

13th of Summer: Greenhouse?
     Now it's time to start thinking about building a Greenhouse. A Greenhouse
will not only be practically a mint with the great number of crops you can grow
year-round, but also, when Winter comes along and there's nothing to give to
Popuri, you can grow Strawberries, her second favorite gift. Also, you can grow
flowers year-round, Popuri's favorite gift. However, Greenhouses cost a ton in
gold and wood, and getting the resources to build one will take some serious
work. If you think you can do it, go for it.

14th-16th of Summer: Normal Gift Days
    *Note- If you're going for a Greenhouse, consider chopping more wood
     in addition to your other chores.

17th of Summer: Firefly Festival
     It's the seventeenth of Summer, and tonight is that mysterious and
heartwarming festival known as the Firefly Festival. Head down to the beach
after the shipper comes to experience setting off the firefly lanterns into the
depths of the ocean. Popuri is there as well.

18th of Summer: Buy A Cow (and the Proper Tools)
     Cows can bring in some serious money if treated well, so mosey on down to
the Green Ranch and buy one. Also, head into town (specifically Rick's Tool
Shop) to buy a Brush. You can also buy a Milker, but it's also OK to wait a
while if you want.

19th-20th of Summer: Normal Gift Days

21st of Summer: Start Picking Flowers
    Your large flower fields will soon die away with the arrival of Fall, so
pick all your flowers. You can do two things with them: store them for Fall and
Winter when no Flowers can be found, or give them to Popuri. Your first
priority should be filling the Room Organizer with flowers. Once it's packed
entirely with flowers, start giving the rest to Popuri (yes, that's a lot of
flowers to give, but she'll love them).

22nd-23rd of Summer: Normal Gift Days

24th of Summer: Sea Festival
     Only men attend the Sea Festival, so Popuri won't be there, as well as
Lillia. So, attending the Sea Festival will only make the other townspeople
happy. It's not Popuri, so you can skip it, but it is fun and you can take a
break from Popuri every once in a while.

25th-27th of Summer: Normal Gift Days

28th of Summer: Gifts for Basil
     Today, concentrate on giving gifts to Basil , because he won't be around
for much longer, and it'll be good to become better friends with him before he
leaves. That doesn't mean stop giving flowers to Popuri, but give Basil a
couple bouquets and some herbs/tropical fruits.

29th of Summer: Normal Gift Day

30th of Summer: Stock Up on Flower Packages
     When you get a Greenhouse, you'll likely plant Flowers to grow for Popuri.
However, if you can make enough cash before Spring, you won't have any packages
to use to plant them. Therefore, it might be nice to buy a few packages before
they go out of stock. A good 10 packages will be plenty to last through Fall
and Winter, but the more the better.


FALL: Fall brings on some harsh changes, especially in the fact that Popuri's
favorite gift, flowers, can't be found anywhere. What to replace them with?
Read on.

1st of Fall: Gifts for Popuri
     The arrival of Fall means the departure of flowers growing in the forest
or for sale at the Flower Shop. This means you'll need something else to give
Popuri. But wait, those Flowers you saved should help. You'll only have enough
flowers to give Popuri one every other day, so what do you give her those other
days (and as additional gifts)? Cake is nice, but is expensive and will dig
into your funds, especially if you're planning on building a Greenhouse. So, to
save money, just about anything in the Forest will be a good gift. Bring her
some Wild Grapes, Edible Herbs, or Mushrooms. She'll be happy. Also, she is
somewhat fond of your dog. That's the cheapest way to make her happy (although
that shouldn't be all you give to her).

2nd-3rd of Fall: Normal Gift Days

4th of Fall: Cow Festival
     This lovely event is the only one held at the Green Ranch, and the usual
bunch of Festival-goers is there. That includes, of course, Popuri. Take a trip
down to the Ranch for a day and see who's cow is the best (yours won't be ready
yet).

5th of Fall: Say Goodbye to Basil
     Basil heads back out on his never-ending journey to find new and better
flower species, so say goodbye. Now you can concentrate on giving gifts to
Popuri and Lillia. When he returns, you and Popuri will be getting ready for
marriage.

6th-7th of Fall: Normal Gift Days

8th of Fall: Chop More Wood!!!
     Increase the amount of wood you chop, as you'll be needing a Greenhouse
soon if you want to plant Flowers and Strawberries for Popuri and Lillia. Don't
forget that you'll need money, too. And on top of that, you'll have to give
Popuri gifts! This Fall will be rather hectic for you.

9th of Fall: Raise More Chickens
     An easy way to increase the money you'll get is to raise more chickens/ A
coop full of chickens will bring you an extra 240g each day, which isn't bad.
Be sure to keep them outside so you don't have to pay for feed. Once Winter
comes around, sell 5 of them for a nice quick 2500g. You can also raise more
and sell them throughout the Winter, which will be quite nice for your profits.
