This section is for little tidbits of information that you may or may not know. Feel free to E-mail me with any you can think of.

* Grass doesn't need to be watered.

* Plant crops near watering hole.

* Plant crops near shipping bin.

* You don't need to water plants when it's raining.

* If you can't buy livestock grow and cut more grass.

* Chicks don't need food; they eat scraps off the ground.

* Picking up weeds or rocks doesn't use up any energy.

* Plant grass away from your shipping bin.

* Don't plant any crops after the 25th of each season because they won't mature.

* You don't need to water seeds the day you plant them.

* Look on your desk by your bed before expanding your house to find 1,000 Gold, also known as "Grandpa's Rainy Day Money".

* When you talk to the Harvest Sprites make sure you don't have any tools in your hand.

* Holidays boost your happiness rate.

* Breeding cows boosts your happiness rate.

* Don't try to kill Harvest Sprites or they will eat you. Just kidding, they won't work for you.

* Your grandfather comes on the 30th of Winter and the evaluation takes a day, but the Harvest Sprites will feed your animals.

* Don't use tools on livestock.

* You only need to give a mushroom to a Harvest Sprite every other day.

* When waiting for the Harvest Sprites to upgrade any of your tools, I recommend you don't play the game during that time period.

* Pray at least ten times a day every day from day one to bless a cow.

* Catch at least twenty fish a day and you'll have at least 2,400 units shipped, that's more than half of what you need to ship in a year.

* If you run out of food you will only drink water during meal times, which gives you very little energy.

* Milk and Meat dumplings give you the least recovery during meal times.

* Green Tea and Rice cakes give you the second most recovery during meal times.

* Wild Grape Juice and Croissants give you the most recovery during meal times.

* Go to all special events/festivals/parties.

* Some special events take all day, don't forget to feed you livestock afterwards or before.

* You can still pick up rocks and weeds when you don't have any energy.

* Taking cows on walks doesn't take an hour like in HMGB.

* To do the Blessed Cow Code you have to pray everyday starting on the first day.

* While in a store press Select to see your current amount of Gold.

* If you have a pet dog keep him outside during good weather and night so wild dogs don't break your fence.

* Weeds to not grow back like in other Harvest Moon games, so pluck 'em all.

* I will one day rule the world, bwah-hahaha.

* You didn't read that one.

* In fact, this FAQ/WALKTHROUGH doesn't exist.

* Neither do I. *

I could just delete the last few lines before I send this in.

* I'm too lazy.

* Back to real hints and tips.

* Your sickle never solves problems, although you think it does.

* The Harvest Sprites will put an egg in the incubator unless there is one in it already, even if you have four Chickens.

* Eggs hatch in three days.

* Cows give birth after 22 days.

* The Harvest Sprites are not against you, if you believe that you're either Max, insane, or drinking too much Mountain Dew. NOTE: I love Mountain Dew and you better not make fun of me for it.

* ALWAYS have food and drinks.
