In terms of profit your best investment during the spring in Harvest Moon: Back to Nature is to go
with cabbage seeds. While you can only plant two of them in the same space in one season, they ultimately
bring in the most profit per day. If you’re starting off and can’t afford cabbage yet then go with turnips.
Cucumber’s might seem like a good investment in this videogame since they grow back but when you do the math,
they end up earning you less by the end of the season with the same amount of space than turnips.

Every day during the spring you can find 3 bamboo shoots and 2 blue grasses in the wild. In your first year
especially, you should collect these every day.

In terms of making the most profit with your space during the summer in Harvest Moon: Back to Nature
you should plant pineapples. Even though they take almost all season to grow and you can only get two
harvests out of them their high selling price is enough to make them the best investment in this videogame.
If you can’t afford them then your next best bet is to go with corn.

Every day during the summer you can find 2 red grasses growing in the wild.

On rare occasions a red colored Red Magic Flower (they’re usually blue hence the confusion) will grow
and this can be sold for 200g.By far your best investment in the fall of Harvest Moon: Back to Nature is to
grow sweet potatoes. These aren’t too expensive either so you should easily be able to plant a lot.
Every day during the fall in this videogame you can find 3 apples by the tree on your farm, and in the
wild you can find 2 green grasses, 4 mushrooms, 1 poisonous mushroom, 2 wild grapes and 1 truffle.
Make sure you grab that truffle every day and you’ll get 15,000g by the end of the season.

Fruit the Hothouse

Orange Cup Fruits don’t seem like a good way to make money at all in Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. You
probably only want to grow these to give as gifts.

OTHER NOTES
If you plant at least one 3 x 3 square of any flower, bees will come to your farm and make a hive in your
apple tree. From then on, you’ll be able to collect a jar of honey from the hive every day which sells for
50g. Give a jar to Louis and he’ll tell you the bees are of a rare species and the honey you collect will
then sell for 60g.

If you plant 90+ of any kind of flower Anna will come to your farm and ask your permission to pick all of
them. She’ll take all your flowers but give you a power berry.
