At the end of Spring, if you have planned well, you will have sprinkled crops and good money coming in, hopefully enough money to buy a nice fat heap of Summer seeds, to upgrade your backpack for the first time (2000 gp) and possibly to plant Orange and Peach early in the last week so they can fruit late in the Summer (and plant the Apple and Pomegranate by mid Summer to fruit in the late Fall) if you are aggressive for a greenhouse this year. | At the end of Spring, if you have planned well, you will have sprinkled crops and good money coming in, hopefully enough money to buy a nice fat heap of Summer seeds, to upgrade your backpack for the first time (2000 gp) and possibly to plant Orange and Peach early in the last week so they can fruit late in the Summer (and plant the Apple and Pomegranate by mid Summer to fruit in the late Fall) if you are aggressive for a greenhouse this year. (This is a controversial suggestion; search Fruit Bats at the end of this article.) They take 28 days to mature, and you want them for the Community Centre bundles; the fruit is also good for wines, jellies, or just selling outright. If you are tight on money, there is always next year. | ||
You could chop down all your plants on the 28th, but it’s far less work to take a scythe to the dead remains on the first day of Summer; you don’t have to re-hoe any soil after that. | You could chop down all your plants on the 28th, but it’s far less work to take a scythe to the dead remains on the first day of Summer; you don’t have to re-hoe any soil after that. | ||

If you have focused on mining, you probably will have plenty of copper and iron to make a dozen basic sprinklers before the end of the month and before you ever upgrade your watering can. Basic sprinklers cut your watering in half and free you to expand your farm more. Sprinklers and watering can upgrades don't work particularly well together. | If you have focused on mining, you probably will have plenty of copper and iron to make a dozen basic sprinklers before the end of the month and before you ever upgrade your watering can.

If you have done particularly well earning money in Spring, you may reach the point of having earned 25,000gp before the end of Spring. Whether this happens in Spring or later, Demetrius will drop by and ask to use your cave for Science; Fruit Bats or Mushrooms. Fruit Bats deliver an erratic range of fruits and berries—they can bring you anything from Salmonberries (5gp) to Pomegranates (140g), often one, sometimes four; the frequency is also uncertain.

Fruit Bats deliver an erratic range of fruits and berries—they can bring you anything from Salmonberries (5gp) to Pomegranates (140g), often one, sometimes four; the frequency is also uncertain. Mushrooms deliver different sorts of mushrooms (mostly Commons), every other day—from six planter boxes. Mushrooms are usually recommended; they’re more reliable, probably worth more, and it’s harder to come across them by other means. Just be sure to plant trees for fruit. | ||
