Harvest Moon 64/Crops and Herbs

Crops
Planting, growing, and harvesting crops is one of the main focuses of every game in the Harvest Moon series. Taking care of crops is relatively easy, as each vegetable will not die until the end of the season, even if not watered. All vegetable seeds can all be purchased at the Flower Shop in the village during their respective season. During the winter, if you don't have a greenhouse, no crops can be grown. When you do get a greenhouse, all seeds, including strawberries, will be available for purchase and may be grown at any season inside the greenhouse.

Each crop has different sowing seasons, cultivation time, and selling price. They must be watered to grow, and can only be planted in tilled soil. Several crops can be re-watered to continuously grow more crops to sell. If the player gets a greenhouse from the carpenters, all the seeds of each season will be available for purchase.

Wild Herbs
Along with planting and harvesting crops, there are also wild growing plants and herbs that you may pick as you go through his daily chores. The wild growing plants change from season to season. Unlike the crops grown on the farm, however, they reappear each day. Some of the wild growing plants can either make you sick and some can keep you from being sick the next day.
