If you plant it too late in Spring, it will not mature in time to be harvested before Winter. Rice that is not harvested before the onset of Winter will die in the paddy fields. Wheat can be planted in Spring, Summer or Autumn and harvested in Summer Buckwheat and Soybeans can be planted in Summer or Autumn. Wada's Special Event Tip for obtaining items that have not been unlocked yet: Make certain that you work diligently to raise Wada to at least 7 hearts by the start of the third year. By doing so, you can experience an Event on any non-Festival day in the 3rd Year or later wherein he will push aside the statue that acts as a barrier to a door to a secret garden. Here you will find Manfred. When you speak to Manfred here, he will give you a random item each day. Any item can be obtained in this fashion, whether unlocked by other means or not. This is a means by which you can obtain Wheat, Soybeans and crops you have not unlocked yet. Seed Prices and Growth: Please remember the fact growth in Island of Happiness is based on a combination of Sunlight and Water. The number of days given for Growth therefore are the basic number and may not represent the actual number of days in any given situation. As far as the Sunlight and Water requirements are concerned, in many cases, they refer to the amount required for a subsequent Harvest and, in cases where there is a maximum that cannot be exceeded, this often is more significant with respect to Multiple Harvest Crops. Seed Prices and Growth: Bear in mind the fact that Growth in Island of Happiness is based on a combination of Sunlight and Water. The number of days given for Growth therefore are the basic number and may not represent the actual number of days in any given situation. When you tap on any item in your Rucksack, its description will be displayed on the top screen of the DS. Descriptions given for any bag of seeds include basic Light and Water requirements, growth rate and season for Harvest. This information is included here as well. Crop Seeds: Crops can be either single harvest or multiple harvest crops. Unlike FoMT/MFoMT or HM DS/Cute DS, each crop requires a different amount of Sunlight and Water to yield a product. Crops that require more Sunlight and Water are easier to grow actually in your Field than those that require less. It is the Crops that require less water that are at highest risk of withering if you overwater them or if it rains frequently. Multiple Harvest Crops are at greater risk of withering after the first harvest, as there is a total amount of Sunlight and Water that cannot be exceeded. In many cases, the situation where a Single Harvest Crop will wither is if you keep it in the field after it could have been harvested. This can be done successfully provided you do not exceed the maximum allowed Sunlight and Water. Early in the game, when you do not have a Refrigerator, keeping a ripe Crop growing in the Field is one method by which to keep its freshness at maximum and preventing it from becoming reduced in Rank. For these reasons, it is far easier to grow your Crops in a Greenhouse where Sunlight is regulated and Water is completely under your control. Furthermore, severe storms will not destroy crops that are shielded by a Greenhouse. In many cases, the situation where a Single Harvest Crop will wither is if you keep it in the field after it could have been harvested. This can be done successfully provided you do not exceed the maximum allowed Sunlight and Water.

When Shitake Seeds are planted, you can harvest them 50 times before they no longer will appear on the pallet. The easiest and quickest way to grow Mushrooms is by gathering them in the Wilds and throwing them in the Seed Maker to create Seeds. You never will need to buy them at the Market if you have a Seed Maker, but they will be unlocked at the Market when specific numbers of Farming Characters arrive. Matsutake Seeds: 5000G Growth: 28 days Available: After arrival of all 7 Farming characters, sold at Chen's Market Requirements: 3-12 Sunlight, 6-20 Water Growth Seasons: All Year Harvest: All Year Shitake Seeds: 1000G Sell: 800G Available: After arrival of 3 Farming Characters, sold at Chen's Market Growth: 20 days Requirements: 3-20 Sunlight, 6-36 Water Growth Season: All Year Harvest Season: All Year Toadstool: 3000G Sell: 1800G Available: After shipping 100 Shitake, sold at Chen's Market Growth: 30 days Requirements: 4-20 Sunlight, 8-50 Water Growth Season: All Year Harvest Season: All Year Grass for Fodder Grass in Island of Happiness, unlike many other Harvest Moon games, requires both Sunlight and Water to grow but it will wither when either exceeds the maximum allotted to the Crop. Grass therefore is a labour-intensive crop in Island of Happiness. The only real reason to grow it is to allow your Livestock to feed outside on the day PRIOR to any Typhoon. You can 'cheat' the game by sending all your Livestock outside to feed on the day before any Typhoon, provided it is not raining that day, and by then filling all feedboxes in the Barn. Make certain that you herd all your Livestock back into the Barn before the dawn of the day on which the Typhoon will occur. Even though you will be unable to leave your house on the day of the Typhoon, the feed that you left in the Barn will feed each of your Animals! This only works in Island of Happiness because Fodder or other Animal Feed that is not needed neither rots nor vanishes. It will remain in the feed box until used. Chickens require no special feed when left outside, so you can throw them into their pen in the field on the day prior to any Typhoon without making any special provisions in terms of Crops. Fill their Feed Boxes with Bird Seed in preparation for the Typhoon in the same manner as you did the Livestock Feed Boxes. This is a way to avoid stress on the part of your Chickens and Livestock.
