Rare Offer Alert: There is an Egg Festival on Spring 13 where you can buy seeds for Strawberry to harvest and sell twice before Summer comes. This is very valuable because it will put lots of money in the ground without taking all your time and energy to water that money. You can do this if you transition to Potatoes (they cost 2.5 times as much as Parsnips and take 1.5 times as long--6 days) by Spring 6. Pierre's store is closed on Festival days, so you can't sell your harvest on Spring 13.

To step up from Parsnip (Spring 1 and 2) to Potato (Spring 5 and 6) to Strawberry (Spring 16), you need to harvest and sell everything on or before the 12th to get enough money to buy lots of Strawberry at the Egg Festival. | ||
Planting calendar: | Planting calendar: From today to Spring 6, save all your money (up to 4000gp) for up to 80 Potatoes. At the moment you don't want to be watering more than 40 Parsnips, and you can get money for Potatoes by fishing and foraging. Save any Mixed Seeds you find for later. You won't have time for two more harvests of Parsnips before the Egg Festival, so you may as well save up from here out for Potatoes on Spring 6. Switching to potatoes on Spring 6 helps you keep your field small to save time and energy to work on other important things. | ||
Today: Water, make a chest | Today: Water, make a chest, empty your backpack except for food and hoe, and go fishing or foraging. | ||

Wild Plants: Don't bother | Wild Plants: Don't bother hunting for anything but Spring Onions today. Spring Onions respawn independently every day, so you can swing by there any day you need the energy, but the other wild plants [https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Foraging#Spawning_Limit accumulate 0-4 per screen area through Saturday night up to 6 per area]. So wait until Saturday to look for them or sooner (normally Tuesday/Wednesday) if you need the energy badly. | ||

Some people are able to make more money at the beginning with fishing than with early crops. Otherwise, you can wait a month to start fishing. If you want to fish this week, so it's a good thing to try today once you’ve watered your Parsnips. Willy will give you an old fishing rod. | ||
* Try out the fishing mini game from the pier for 3 to 5 casts. Ignore your success on the first cast; it's fake and not representative. Then evaluate your prospects and start formulating a decision: Will fishing this week be frustrating, distracting, or profitable? It doesn't delay the story to delay fishing for a month. But it may delay the story to neglect your farm by fishing this week. Feel free to spend your money on Parsnip Seeds (General Store) and/or Salad (220gp at the Saloon) and return straight home to level up your farming, mining, and foraging by planting, watering, and chopping tree tops and small rocks. If your prospects don't look good, but you still want to at least level up Fishing today, do the following: | * Try out the fishing mini game from the pier for 3 to 5 casts.

It's good general food (a little worse than Salad from the Saloon), so it's not a waste of your money to buy two. | ** Buy one or two Trout Soup from Willy if you have gold.
