Thanks for making these videos. I just started playing not that long ago. I’m in now Autumn Year 1 and I’ve made 300,000 Gold and made my first 9⭐️Jewel Melon. Your videos helped me a lot. 😊 I am now gonna plan on mapping out how I want my farm to look. 😅
I'm at mid of Summer first year. Luckily, I'm not far from the crops guidance. Now, I can plan my autumn and winter crops. Your video is always been helpful! 👍🏻
ahhh this guide is so helpful. i've been playing harvest moon/story of seasons since 2006 but even so, i still get lost starting out bcus idk what plants to choose. i got turnips and potatoes right now on day 6 so i'll def get cucumbers once my potatoes are ready. thank you so much! :D
Playing right now. You're awesome! You're gonna do better than me on TH-cam lol. I bought the game because of you last night. Just starting to slowly learn the game.
Love this video! Did you do one for the flower? I love growing flowers and I want to try the essence maker for perfume. I started on PS4 not too long ago and just unlock the area 3. Your video help me a lot!
Thank you for this video, just started the game a few hours ago and this has been so helpful! Could you make a video on fishes? E.g. Where /when you can catch a certain type of fish and which fishes would fetch a high price.
Glad to hear this was helpful! I would definitely like to make a video on fish! Just waiting for the English names of the fish to come out, since I'm playing on the Japanese version and I'm not sure how each fish is going to be translated!
i had a pretty successful winter and unlocked the spring garden so i think ill keep my broccoli going there :) and i found level 10 oranges in my sprite store!!! so i can have them hanging out there too!! ive been trying to cultivate 10 star seeds for all my crops lol ive been trying hard to keep up to make enough seeds for the next season. its a big game of catch up :o
Abt the seed part, i even make like 8 of it since i alr got my crops into level 10. It took 23 hours to finish so after a day i can get myself 16 level 10 seeds from each of my level 10 crops. And then plant it again and it repeat. Its quite efrective for me.
You're always so helpful Thank you for this video :) Also i got agriculture level 9 on my first year in autumn. Maybe because i water my crops myself and don't use the sprinklers
Thanks for this nice and detailed guide... How about cooking the crops... in older SoS selling cooked crops some of them give more profit then selling raw crops... does this game also like that or cooked food worth less money... thx in advance.
I think it’s possible to get agriculture lvl 9 within the first year, I’m in my autumn of my first year and my lvl is 8 already. You just have to be super diligent.
I've just started playing and am trying to figure out cooking. Would radishes be good for making the dishes that require any sort of vegetable (since they're the cheapest to buy/not worth selling)? Right now, I'm mostly planning to cook things for me to eat while mining and clearing my farm. Your charts are great, btw! Super helpful. :)
Mushrooms are pretty straight forward. With 5 being the highest profit: 1. Shiitake 2. Shimeji 3. Trumpet 4. Coral 5. Matsutake Coral & Matsutake make the most profit compared to all crops, not considering the fact that mushroom logs take 2x2 space whereas crops are only 1x1.
When you put variation crops in the maker, you'll get more seeds then with regular ones, but they'll just be regular seeds though. It won't increase the probability to get varied crops.
So I found out that you can buy products, like veggies straight from the store. Example is tomato for 180. Use the seed maker to turn it into 2 seed packets. Each sells for 150. You earn 120 a day per tomato. I know its not much, but if your seed makers are just laying there, make some money. Selling seeds from crops you grow will increase your profit even more from just selling the crop itself.
I have a question. For special shape crops, what else we can do with other than put it into seed maker? Any recipe that require special shape crops? Thanks ♥️
I still have one question. I sold broccoli in winter 645 for one In spring for 249 both lvl 10. why is there so mich difference? Or why is there sometimes a symbol for proce increase?
any idea what the probability of the mutations is? from his video note to self spring - broccoli (seeds only avail in winter) 65/day, garlic (need lv 9 agri) 49.62/day, cucumber 28.67/day summer - watermelon (lv9) 55.56/day, green pepper 51.11/day, eggplant 46/day (mutant crop chance) autumn - sweet potato (mutant crop chance) 59.43/day, green pepper 51.11/day winter - leek (ship wild crop, mutant crop chance) 75/day, broccoli 65/day,
Actually, I've noticed (after making the video) that the higher the star level, the higher the chance of getting the mutations! So while you don't need to take that into account at first, you do later in the game. I'm thinking this might make the eggplant better than the watermelon, but I have to test it out!
@@JoshGamingGarden i'm just at the first winter season and i have a stock of about 120 10 star eggplant seeds so i'll have to get there again to see what the % is. my current farm capacity is 230 but i think i'll just try to max it out and then say if i have like 400 spots then i can add 400 'n' entries as data points to find what the % mutation is? i could give you whatever i find (idk when that'll be doe) also was wondering if you had a tree fruit video. i do have the autumn special place but it's full of 5star apple trees right now (i hope they'll give me 10 star apples) thanks for the response!
@@JoshGamingGarden I've grown around 3000 crops now, and I've found a few conclusions: 1. increased mutant chance with higher base seed level - i.e. the level of the seed packet that was planted in the ground. A zero star seed packet is worse than say, a 4 star seed packet even if the harvest crop is the same end star value (due to a difference in harvesting level bonus to stars) 2. mutant chances varies based on crop type. i still need more data on each individual crop, but it seems like some crops like turnips, tomatoes and eggplants tend to have more mutants (average 35% so far at 10 star seeds) versus leek which is around 5% (small data set so may change as i get more harvests) 3. for eggplants i've harvest almost 750 crops with the % being 33% mutant. meaning the overall value per day is around 30% higher at 59.8, making it better than watermelon. Just wanted to share this with you and the world :)
Your information about the crops counting from the day after planting is wrong. If u plant the Onion seeds on the 22nd of Spring, they will be ready at the 28th of Spring. I did that 1 hour ago.
On the bit where you said it starts the day after you’ve planted the countdown that doesn’t seem to apply to mine as I’ve worked out as I’ve been planting melons takes 7 days to harvest I’ve found that if I plant them on the 21st of the month I can still harvest them on the 28th of the month (not playing seedling mode)
Hey, sorry I should have made that point clearer, but you need to take into account one extra day as if someone were to plant the melons on the 22nd for example, they could think 22-23-24-25-26-27-28 would be enough since it's 7 days, but in reality the melons won't be ready to harvest until the 1, so they would miss it in this case. 21 to 28 that's 8 days in total. I hope it's clearer. :)
Just did the some calculations myself (Spring Crops) but it seems that at Level zero the most profitable stays true to your calculations. Not sure if the Stars would influence it Edit: Calc with small Seed Maker
Kindof a dumb question but I wanted to check. We still don’t need to water our crops when it rains/snows right? As I saw some gameplay where the sprinklers still went off in the snow and wanted to double check.
@@JoshGamingGarden thank you for replying! I finally managed to get some sprinklers! I thought the grass doesnt need water like sos fomt, so thank you for clearing that out!
@Terrako they are already helping with the monastery's garden and dining hall so I don't want to exhaust them. They deserve to rest so that they will be able to focus more in the class.
I'm not sure if there's a recipe that specifically asks for radish (most of the time you can use any vegetable), but yes it might be good to have a few just in case.
If you have 10-star seeds you'll get a higher chance of getting the golden or other variations, however you still have a small chance with lower-quality seeds.
I am glad this game is on PS not to mention in PS Extra. I bet this is captured on Nintendo because thats the only weak console that would have problem running games my calculator can run in a background. I am gonna give it a go. Thanks for the guides :)

I got my game, Onion spawned on my farm already. Just finished day one talking to everyone and planting turnips
I’m so excited to pick up my game tomorrow. I’m not good at setting up my area and I am hoping my farm looks as aesthetically pleasing like yours.
Josh make videos about trees, flowers and animals haha
Oh 28 days per season, thats important to know.
Please make another guide for animals
I will! 🐮
Only 3 days left! Time to plan on how to do things so this vid has amazing timing as always ❤️
Thank you! It's coming soon! 😁
I'm at mid of Summer first year. Luckily, I'm not far from the crops guidance. Now, I can plan my autumn and winter crops. Your video is always been helpful! 👍🏻

This was so helpful and so well done, thank you for going out of your way to do this 🙏❤️
Thank you! Glad I could be helpful.
omg I think I saw you on Dr Alps page. The world is so little!!!
I love these videos so much, so helpful!
Best birthday morning ever 😅 crop guide from one of the best story of seasons TH-cam, game officially ready to play and my oldest made me coffee ☕️
What a nice morning! Happy birthday! 🎉🎂
This was very helpful. I made a notes page in my phone based on your charts. Thank you~!

Thank you so much for linking the google doc and thank you so much for all the videos! You are a hero!!
I keep coming back to this channel for help. Time to subscribe! :D
Thanks Josh. Finally gonna start this game and that's a really good guide!
Nice content, Josh. Looking forward to more guides/tips from your channel!
Thank you!
I waited until 3am to play this lol I'm having so much fun already and thank you so much for the guide
Thank you! I’ve been watching your tip videos to try and help me get prepared for the game, it shows up for me tomorrow, so excited!
Glad my videos are helpful! I hope you can get it early tomorrow!
This is so helpful, just got my game and I appreciate the tips!!
I started this today. It's very helpful to have the profit guide!
So glad you made this 😃 really helpful to know the count starts the day after planting as well!
Haha yes, actually I learned this one the hard way when my crops died on the 1st. 😢
You should do a video on tool upgrade priority. Like silver hammer, then silver axe, etc.
thank you so much! i have to wait until march 26 to play sos and your videos are the best for planning my game
i had a pretty successful winter and unlocked the spring garden so i think ill keep my broccoli going there :) and i found level 10 oranges in my sprite store!!! so i can have them hanging out there too!! ive been trying to cultivate 10 star seeds for all my crops lol ive been trying hard to keep up to make enough seeds for the next season. its a big game of catch up :o
This was such a helpful guide, thank you so much! Really looking forward to playing this game and can already tell it’ll be addicting 😅😍.
It is addicting! 😬 Glad this was helpful!
Thank you Josh 😄! Going to go pick up this bad boy RIGHT now 😆!
It just looks so good!!! I'm so excited 🤗🤗 Thanks for this wonderful video 👍🏻👍🏻😊😊🌞🌞
Thank you so much for this super helpful guide! Looking forward to more helpful tips video from you🤩
Thanks! There will be more tips videos coming! :D
Just watched all of your guide videos, thank you so much! Also, you deserve way more subscribers, your content is amazing!
Aww thank you so much!
Abt the seed part, i even make like 8 of it since i alr got my crops into level 10. It took 23 hours to finish so after a day i can get myself 16 level 10 seeds from each of my level 10 crops. And then plant it again and it repeat.
Its quite efrective for me.
Great video! I like the chart and being able to compare all of the crops!
Thanks for the good work!
Thank you for watching!
very helpful look forward to this game on friday so these tpis will be most helpful
Glad my videos are helpful! Hope you'll enjoy the game! 😁🎉
You're always so helpful
Thank you for this video :)
Also i got agriculture level 9 on my first year in autumn. Maybe because i water my crops myself and don't use the sprinklers
I also got to level 9 on autumn of year 1, I think it's about average, but it definitely helps if you didn't use sprinklers too much.
This is super helpful, thank you so much 😁
thank you for always giving the best tips and all of your research work
Thank you so much for making this very helpful :)
that was so helpful! thank you!
Thanks for this nice and detailed guide...
How about cooking the crops... in older SoS selling cooked crops some of them give more profit then selling raw crops... does this game also like that or cooked food worth less money... thx in advance.
If you cook food it will lose value. So I would recommend only cook if you need to eat or for gifts.
@@JoshGamingGarden thx for the fast reply. 😁
This is normal mode right? Thanks for this guide Josh! Very helpful :)
Yep it's on normal mode!
Thanks for this!!!! Just got the game!!
Thank you for the timestamps, I do not know who gave that 1 dislike, shame on them! I am like number* 728.
Please do trees next!!
I think it’s possible to get agriculture lvl 9 within the first year, I’m in my autumn of my first year and my lvl is 8 already. You just have to be super diligent.
Yes, I got to level 9 at the end of my first autumn! However getting it in first summer in time for watermelons would be quite tricky.
I've just started playing and am trying to figure out cooking. Would radishes be good for making the dishes that require any sort of vegetable (since they're the cheapest to buy/not worth selling)? Right now, I'm mostly planning to cook things for me to eat while mining and clearing my farm.
Your charts are great, btw! Super helpful. :)
Will you please make a wildlife guide?
Josh is out here making my life so much easier when it comes to this game lol I tend to get overwhelmed but these videos help me prioritize better.
Do you think you could make a beehive and mushroom guide?
That would be a good idea yes!
Mushrooms are pretty straight forward. With 5 being the highest profit:
1. Shiitake
2. Shimeji
3. Trumpet
4. Coral
5. Matsutake
Coral & Matsutake make the most profit compared to all crops, not considering the fact that mushroom logs take 2x2 space whereas crops are only 1x1.
Hey question!
Is it possible to put crop variation in the seed maker like star potatoes and getting the seeds to plant more variation crops?
When you put variation crops in the maker, you'll get more seeds then with regular ones, but they'll just be regular seeds though. It won't increase the probability to get varied crops.
so to get full cucumber u need to plant them on the 13th if im understanding correctly
So I found out that you can buy products, like veggies straight from the store. Example is tomato for 180. Use the seed maker to turn it into 2 seed packets. Each sells for 150. You earn 120 a day per tomato. I know its not much, but if your seed makers are just laying there, make some money. Selling seeds from crops you grow will increase your profit even more from just selling the crop itself.
I have a question. For special shape crops, what else we can do with other than put it into seed maker? Any recipe that require special shape crops?

from his video note to self
spring - broccoli (seeds only avail in winter) 65/day, garlic (need lv 9 agri) 49.62/day, cucumber 28.67/day
summer - watermelon (lv9) 55.56/day, green pepper 51.11/day, eggplant 46/day (mutant crop chance)

What sprinkler is that? I think the one I have unlocked currently only does 8 tiles, I’m still pretty early game.

It does start after you plant.
You planted on 21, "start counting" the day after: 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28. That's 7 days.
Which are better; blue or silver star crops?
I just harvested my Sweet Potatoes but dk what to plant next 😭 I can't plant it again since only 28 days...
Where do you find wild zucchini? I didn’t find it during summer
Are pumpkins supposed to be green?
Iam in winter first day now but I cannot find leek !! Any thoughts??
What about crops like beans, rice, wheat, teaf leaf?? How far apart do fruit trees have to be??
Fruit trees just need 1 tile between them
Have you ever calculated how profitable the crops are when you make your seeds only with the seed maker?
Just did the some calculations myself (Spring Crops) but it seems that at Level zero the most profitable stays true to your calculations. Not sure if the Stars would influence it
Edit: Calc with small Seed Maker
Do you need to water crops twice a day? Also thank you so much for the guide!!
No, just once a day!
Kindof a dumb question but I wanted to check. We still don’t need to water our crops when it rains/snows right? As I saw some gameplay where the sprinklers still went off in the snow and wanted to double check.
@@wanhedafeva7107 you don't need to water when it rains/snows! The sprinklers will go on automatically everyday between 6-8am no matter what. 😊
What is the radius of the sprinklers? How many crops do they water?
Can't wait for Friday XD
Can you give us a full tour of your farm plz x
Yes! I still have a few things left to do, but I'm aiming for a farm tour on year 3.
Can you plant crops just a day before the season?
Today is the day!
Are you already upgrade the final house ?
Not yet!
Wait a sec.. leek seeds cost 500g and only sell for 200g? That's a 300g LOSS? Am I confused.. Leek seems to be the worst crop not the best.
I needs help, why does. My doggies ball keep disappearing when we play fetch 😭😭
That's just how it works. 😬 It's odd but yes you need to buy multiple balls!
It's Summer here; so my fields are full of Watermelons, SunFlowers and Lilies. I'm just worried how to harvest them all.
Yes harvesting is a lot of work in this game. 😅 I try not to plant more than I'm willing to harvest!
Josh, do we need to water grass seeds?
Yes you do! :(
@@JoshGamingGarden thats unfortunate :'( they take up so much of my stamina every day
Yeah... I'd recommend using sprinklers, but for now I'm just letting the rain do its thing. 😆
@@JoshGamingGarden thank you for replying! I finally managed to get some sprinklers! I thought the grass doesnt need water like sos fomt, so thank you for clearing that out!
@Terrako they are already helping with the monastery's garden and dining hall so I don't want to exhaust them. They deserve to rest so that they will be able to focus more in the class.
How do you upgrade your crop level??
You said that we don't need radish but won't you need it for cooking?
I'm not sure if there's a recipe that specifically asks for radish (most of the time you can use any vegetable), but yes it might be good to have a few just in case.
Hello do you know a way of making rice seeds?
You have to use the seedling maker, which you'll unlock after reaching level 6 of orcharding!
@@JoshGamingGarden thanks!!! 😊
I can’t find the video you did about flowers
I haven't made the video about flowers yet. 😅 Coming soon!
Why my crops turn brown
How do you get all the golden crops?
If you have 10-star seeds you'll get a higher chance of getting the golden or other variations, however you still have a small chance with lower-quality seeds.
I got a GIANT turnip!!!!
Hello anyone. I feel so noob. But what material i can use for the feeds of my chicken :(
You feed them fodder, same as for the barn animals! I know it's confusing 'cause they used to have their own food in previous games!
Without a cooking festival it feels like there is no reason to grow level 10 crops.
You need good crops to cook in the villa
How did u get this huge land?
There are 3 areas on your farm, you'll have to repair a bridge to unlock the 2nd area, then clear a slope to unlock the third one!
How to raise tree crops star?
You need to use the seed maker! :)
I don’t know why but not a single leek has spawned on my farm and it’s almost my third year in the game 🥲
Do you have empty space for it to spawn?😭 The leek can also be a bit hard to see sometimes. Hope you find one soon!
does anyone know if there are reverse confessions in this game?
No, there are no reverse confessions.
How do I get rid of the withered crops?
You can with your hammer!
@@JoshGamingGarden Thxs Josh!!
I am glad this game is on PS not to mention in PS Extra. I bet this is captured on Nintendo because thats the only weak console that would have problem running games my calculator can run in a background. I am gonna give it a go. Thanks for the guides :)
I am so poor in the game I hardly have money for seed 😂
I cannot find a leek for the life of me. Someone send help.
