On Monday mornings she will be out with her family in the flower patch
up in the mountain until 10 am. She arrives at the supermarket at

Barley - 17th of Spring

Information: Barley is a sweet old man. He lives with his
granddaughter May.

You can find him:
He usually always stays at his ranch from 9 onwards.
On Mondays from 9 he goes to the Mayor's house then he goes to the
hot spring with May at about 1 - 3.

Likes receiving: Things you cook, and flowers. He really likes spa
boiled eggs.

Hates receiving: Litter, ore, and natural resources.

His match: None anymore * sob * .

Events:

* He is the one that gives you the horse. Before the first Summer
go to his ranch and you will see him and May with a horse. They
explain how they want someone to look after it and then you can
volunteer to take it. Both May and Barley will like you more from
doing this. They will like you especially more if you win a horse
race with it. If you neglect your horse Barley will take it away
but you can get it back by planting about 40 fodder squares.

* One day he walks up to you and tells you May is missing. At 7:00 go
to the beach and you will find May (I'm sorry but I've forgotten if
it was AM or PM so you'll have to check for yourself.) May will tell
you about her mum and you should listen. Then you return her home.
Both Barley and May feel grateful towards you. This event only happens
once Barley and May like you.

* This is more an event that has to do with May but I'll put it here
anyway. One day May comes to your farm and asks if she can help you.
Barley follows her and tells her basically that she shouldn't bother
others and that they are busy working. May gets annoyed because she
feels that everyone is busy. Barley asks you if you can find someone
who can look after her. Go to the church and Carter will say he's
happy to look after her. Then you'll see Stu coming over. He will
say that he is annoyed that everyone is busy too and Carter will
talk about how he can look after them both.

* Once Barley and May like you you can take your dog over to the Barleys
place and show the dog to Barley, May, and the dog. I've forgotten
quite how this works but I think they ask if they can keep your
dog at their house for a while. Days later Barley and May tell you
that their dog has had puppies and that your dog is the father. You
can't keep the puppy but you can give it away to someone. The girls
really like it.

* The day before the cow or sheep festivals he comes and asks you if
you want to enter a cow/sheep and tells you that the cow/sheep
festival is tomorrow.

Information: Basil is Mary's father and is married to Anna. He is a
nature lover.

course. Sometimes when you go to the church he is at the confession
box so you can't talk to him unless you confess.

Hates receiving: Ore.

His match: He is a priest he doesn't have a match. That would be
disloyal to the priest code if he did.

flowers, and sweet food.

Ann reminds Cliff of his sister.

Events:

* See Ann's events.

* SPOILER BUT ONE THAT YOU COULD REGRET NOT READING: During the first
Fall Duke will try giving you a job of harvesting grapes. He will
tell you that you can bring one other person. Ask Cliff to have the
job (don't try asking anyone else beforehand or the option of asking
Cliff will disappear and you won't be able to save him.) Cliff will
be very grateful if you give him the job and it will mean that he
will stay in the village. If you do not give him the job he will
talk about not having anything to do in the village and not having
much money and will leave *sob* .

Popuri

Popuri - 3rd of Summer (or the 10th if you choose to have a birthday
on the 3rd.)

Information: She is the girl that the villagers think is immature.

You can find her:
From 8 - 10 AM she will be near the hot spring with Ann.
At 11 she'll be back at the poultry farm and will stay there for the
rest of the day.
On Sundays from 10 am to 4 she will be at church.
In the Summer from Sun - Mon 12 - 5 she'll be at the beach.

Likes receiving: She likes receiving flowers (the yellow ones in spring,)
WEEDS! She likes receiving just any egg but I would recommend not giving
her plain eggs but spa boiled ones because she really loves them.

Really likes receiving: She really likes receiving the white flowers
in Spring or the Summer flowers (Pink Mint Flower.) Things made from
egg (spa boiled, fried etc.,) and relaxation tea.

Hates receiving: The natural resources (unless it is something sweet
like a berry.) Ore.

Her match: Kai will marry her if you don't.

Things she says:

With a Black Heart:

...Hello.

Can I help you?

With a Purple Heart:

Do you like farming? For me it's boring.

This is a secret, OK? *Looks at you with an angry expression as if
she would consider doing something evil if you didn't keep the secret.*
(not that you could tell the secret anyway because you never talk. She
should know that by now.)

With a Blue Heart:

You're nice, not like my brother.

My brother can't separate from me. ...I'll tell you the story some day
(she never does.)

With a Green Heart:

What was it like where you used to live?

I want to go places.

With a Yellow Heart:

My brother talks a lot about you. He likes you.

I respect you too.

With an Orange Heart:

What do you think about me, * your name * ? *blushes.*

Everybody says I'm immature. What do you think? *Has a face that shows
her eagerly waiting for your response.*

With a Red Heart:

Oh * your name * ... You always treat me like an adult.

I used to like flashy guys, but now I think quiet guys like you are
better * heart * .

A Few Events:

* When you first walk near the poultry farm you'll see Popuri and
Rick fighting about their chicken Pon dying. Rick will ask you to
find her from the mountain and bring her back because he can't. Go
to the mountain and find her. When she explains what happened say,
“my sympathies” and she'll like you more.

* When Popuri is close to a blue heart you will walk through the
poultry farm and walk right up to Popuri who is outside. She will
tell you about how she wants to leave. Tell her that would be cool
and she will like you more strangely enough (I would have thought
saying that would make her annoyed at you wanting her to go away.)

* When you have an extended chicken coop Popuri will come and tell
you to look after an egg. I heard you are meant to call the chicken
Popuri and she will like you more. She is meant to visit back once
the egg has hatched and take the egg and see what you named it yet
when I tried it in another game she never took it back!!! For this
event to occur it must be either Summer or Winter and Popuri must
like you with at least a blue heart.

* About one or two days before Summer you'll see Popuri and little
May greeting Kai.

* When you first go to the poultry farm in the Summer Popuri and
Kai will talk for a while.

* A few times you go to the beach and find Kai and Popuri talking.
Popuri will be blushing like mad.

* If Popuri and Kai get really close they will decide to go away
together but not tell anyone except for you. Kai tells you thinking
that you will keep the secret. When Rick asks you where they are you
can either tell and Rick will like you more and Kai will never know
you told. Or you can not tell and then Popuri and Kai will get
married. This event will happen from at least the second year.

Mary

Mary - 20th of Winter (or 25th if you choose to have a birthday on
the 20th.)

Information: Mary is the quiet librarian. She looks after her dad's
library and even writes a few books of her own.

You can find her:
In the library from 10 AM - 4 PM then she goes into her house.
If it is a Monday and the library is closed you'll find her and her
family taking a morning stroll near the flower patch up in the
mountains till 10.
Then at about 10:30 you can find Mary and her mum at the supermarket.
Once they have left there they will stay at home.

Likes receiving: Flowers, grape juice, sweet food, and relaxation tea
leaves (read about how to get relaxation leaves in the guide to other
villagers about elves.)

Really likes receiving: All natural resources, and girls gifts (but I
think unless it's a special occasion like a birthday of hers it's not
worth giving her a girls gift because she's happy enough with very
cheap things.)

Hates receiving: Weeds, wine, and litter.

Her match: If you don't marry her Gray will.

Things she says:

With a Black Heart:

Hi. You know, this library was built so the villagers could read my
father's books.

Where always adding books and replacing books, so you should make a
habit of visiting the library.

With a Purple Heart:

Hello.

This village looks like the land in a fairy tale.

With a Blue Heart:

Hello. Do you enjoy working the farm?

How about teaching me about farm work. I'm here in this village,
so I ought to learn about all sorts of things.

With a Green Heart:

Well, hi. You've come to read. I'm impressed.

I like the smell of books. It's kind of like the smell of the
forest...calming somehow.

With a Yellow Heart:

Oh...hello.

It seems it's always the same people who visit the library. I wish
everybody from the village came to read books.

With an Orange Heart:

Oh, hello. You've come!

I want to keep working in the library even after I get married...
As long as there are people who visit the library.

With a Red Heart:

Hello...oh...

Something's the matter. I felt strange just now.

A Few Events:

* When you first walk into the library you hear Mary talking. She is
saying some things for one of her books she is writing. Ask her what
she is writing and she will like you more.

* When Mary has at least a purple heart for you one day you will walk
in and she will ask you if you were here to read books. If you say you
are she'll feel really happy and like you more.

* When Mary has at least a blue heart for you she lends you a book
called 'The Carpenter And The King' press triangle when in your
inventory screen to read it. Then go back to the library and tell her
you liked the carpenter the best. She will agree and like you more.

* When you go to the square for the first time she will tell Gray
about how she once felt left out but the people were really nice and
eventually she felt settled in. She says that if you don't know what
to do then you should start thinking because you can always expect
things to happen without knowing.

* Some time after you have seen the first Gray 4 Mary event you will
walk into the library and Mary will lend Gray a book.

* Mary reads Gray a book she wrote. It was inspired by Gray and the
character is based on Gray (although at the time Mary is too shy to
admit it.)

Karen

Karen - 15th of Fall (or 23rd if you choose to have a birthday on the
15th.)

Information: Karen is the supermarket owners daughter. She is known
for her expensive taste. She is one of the hardest girls to like you
and one of the most popular Harvest Moon girls amongst Harvest Moon
fans.

You can find her:
From 8 - 10 am she is at the letter box near the supermarket. (Unless
it is raining in which case she is inside.)
From after 10 Karen goes inside and is behind the second door which
you can't open unless you befriend Karen's parents.
From 1 - 4 She stays in the supermarket near Jeff (she doesn't go
behind the second door.)
From 7:30 to 10 PM she is at the beach (unless raining.)
1:30 - 4 PM on Tuesdays and Sundays she is at the hot springs unless
it is raining in which case she is at Gotz's house.
On Tuesdays and Sundays from 7:00 PM - 10 PM she is at the inn.

Likes receiving: Flowers but I wouldn't use my flowers on her at first.
I'd save them for someone who really likes flowers like Elli. She
also likes receiving failed recipes (she is incompetent at cooking and
I think seeing that you are just as bad makes her feel better!)

Really likes receiving: Expensive things. Girls gifts, truffles, wine,
fries.

Hates receiving: Most things that you cook, ore, grape juice, weeds,
natural resources, litter, and spa boiled eggs.

Her match: If you don't marry her Rick will.

Things she says:

With a Black Heart:

Hi.

What can I do for you?

With a Purple Heart:

Hi, how are you?

Whenever you have a problem or something, just come talk to me.

With a Blue Heart:

I'm afraid that our store is not very well stocked...

But at least we have everything you need.

With a Green Heart:

My parent's fight at the drop of a hat. But my mother does most of
the yelling...

Then they suddenly make up. It's silly.

With a Yellow Heart:

Hello * your name * How are you doing?

I'm impressed...a person my age running a farm.

With an Orange Heart:

Oh...h...hello. *Looks a little scared.*

You startled me * heart * .

With Red Heart:

Lately I find myself thinking about you, * your name * * heart * .
*Looking out lovingly.*

Just kidding. But what if it were true? *Blushing madly.*

A Few Events:

* When you first walk into the supermarket the Doctor will walk in
and buy something but not pay for it. Jeff being as passive as he
is, doesn't complain. Then Duke comes in and tries doing the same
thing. He is just about to walk out when he sees your character’s
annoyed face. He asks if anything is wrong and you are meant to say,
"you should pay." Then Karen walks out from the second door and
tells Duke to pay. When Duke has gone Karen thanks you for sticking
up for Jeff and she will like you more.

* This happens once Karen gets a purple heart at least. When you walk
into the hot spring she is there she will ask you if anything's wrong.
If you say your love life or farm life she will like you more. I think
it only happens around the afternoon.

* Karen will come up to your farm in Spring if she has at least a blue
heart and will give you flower seeds. If you grow the flowers Karen
will be very happy and like you more. (This is a good time to buy
an extra lot of seeds and to plant them at the same time because if
you have enough flowers bees will come. You could also make the most
of the free seed packet by planting 11 more packets to attract Anna into
your farm so that she will give you a power berry.

* When you walk near the church you see Karen and Rick walk down the
path near the elves house. I tried following them but I couldn't find
them anywhere.

* When you walk to the poultry farm you see Rick and Karen fighting.
Rick rambles on about how annoyed he is about Kai and Karen tells
him not to worry. Rick gets annoyed at Karen for not saying anything
bad about Kai and says that if she likes him so much she should marry
him. Karen calls Rick a cad and walks off.

* When you visit the poultry farm after seeing the other love events
between Rick and Karen you will hear a conversation between Lillia
and Karen about how nice Karen is and how she'd like Karen to be
a part of the family. This happens any season except for Winter.

* This event happens any season except Winter from at least the second
year. Once Popuri has married (either you or Kai) Rick will be a little
upset about Popuri leaving and him being left at the farm. Karen and
Rick will have a little chat and a few days later they'll marry.

Elli

Elli - 16th of Spring (or 20th if you choose to have a birthday on
the 16th.)

Information: Elli is a nice girl who lives with her grandmother and
little brother Stu. She is a nurse.

You can find her:
At the Clinic from 10 am onwards.
Except on Wednesdays when the clinic is closed. On Wednesday's she is
at her grandmothers house until 1 where she goes to the supermarket.
Then she goes to her grandmothers house.

Likes receiving: Things to cook with (like flour, eggs, and milk,)
natural resources, and ore!!

Really likes receiving: All kinds of flowers, girls gifts.

Hates receiving: Wine, weeds, litter, and bugs.

Her match: If you don't end up marrying her the doctor will.

Things she says:

With a Black Heart:

Is there something wrong with you today?

Please talk the doctor if you want medicine or an exam.

With a Purple Heart:

Oh, * your name * , is something wrong?

Farming is hard work, isn't it? You need to be strong.

With a Blue Heart:

Oh, * your name * , is something wrong?

My family has been involved in birthing for generations. My
grandmother was a midwife too.

With a Green Heart:

There seems to be a flu going around. Take care of yourself.

You know my grandmother, right? I want to cure the problem with her
legs, so I'm studying here.

With a Yellow Heart:

Oh, hi * your name * . You seem to be getting used to farm life.

Why did you move to this village, * your name * ? I haven't heard the
reason.

With an Orange Heart:

Oh... * your name * ! Is something the matter?

I'm happy to see you but since this is a clinic I also worry whenever
you drop by * heart * .

With a Red Heart:

I may quit the clinic after I get married...

...I don't think I can work at both a marriage and a job...

A Few Events:

* When you first go into the clinic (if you don't have your arms
full) Elli will come up to you and tell you that you have a cut.
When she asks you how much it hurts you are supposed to say that
you're ok. If you say, 'excruciating' she will say something snooty like,
"Oh I asked because boys aren't supposed to feel hurt." She'll give
you a Band-Aid (big enough to fit over your whole characters head!)
When you walk outside you'll see Stu crying. Talk to him and give him
the Band-Aid. Stu will like you more and stop crying. Then Elli will
come out and notice that you gave away the Band-Aid. When she asks why
tell her you didn't feel that bad and she'll like you more. Doing this
option of saying it hurts excruciatingly will let her like you more than
if you were to just say that it doesn't hurt.

* When you just get a purple heart Elli asks you how your job is. Say,
“it’s fun” and she will like you more. This happens when you go to
the clinic with Elli inside.

* If Elli is close to having a blue heart for you and you walk
through your farm at around 12:00 Elli will come and ask you to try
one of her sandwiches. She decides it wasn't that good and thinks
she'll keep giving you some so you can test them and she can perfect
her sandwich making skills. If you keep coming back at 12 (for three
days) she'll eventually think her sandwiches are just right and be
thankful that you helped her. She'll like you more.

* When you walk into the clinic you'll see the doctor and her talking.
He'll tell her she can have a break. She won't accept but will be
thankful.

* Another time you walk into the clinic the doctor will confess that
he thinks Elli is a great nurse and that the clinic wouldn't be such
a success without her. He thinks she is especially good at midwifery.

* After you have seen the other events and gone into the clinic Elli
will have a cold and the Doctor will basically tell her she should
rest for a while.

* After you have seen the other events and go into the clinic the
Doctor will talk to Elli about leaving. It is obvious that Elli
doesn't want him to leave.

Ann

Ann - 17th of Summer (or the 22nd if you choose to have a birthday
on the 17th.)

Information: Ann is a bubbly tomboy. She's my favourite character and
I really like what she says with orange and red heart's (so adorable.)

You can find her:
At the hot springs from 8 - 10 AM.
At the inn from 11 onwards.

Likes receiving: Flowers, eggs, milk, omelets, grilled fish, scrambled
eggs, mushroom rice (she likes a lot of things you cook.)
NOTE: It isn't worth giving her eggs and recipes made with eggs because
you might as well just give her a spa boiled egg which she likes a lot
more.)

Really likes receiving: Spa boiled eggs, girls presents. If you keep
giving her spa boiled eggs she'll love you in no time.

Hates receiving: Wine, ore, weeds, and natural resources.

Her match: If you don't marry Ann, Cliff will (unless you didn't give
Cliff the job in Winter in which case Cliff will leave the village
and never come back except possibly on the day you are evaluated.)

Things she says:

With a Black Heart:

Welcome, welcome.

If you want to place an order, talk to my father.

With a Purple Heart:

Hello, welcome.

Please, take your time.

With a Blue Heart:

Dad sometimes yells at me for being a tomboy...

But I appreciate dad for bringing me up this way. Love, who needs it?

With a Green Heart:

Hi there, how's the farm doing?

Everything is delicious when you live near farm country. I love to
eat.

With a Yellow Heart:

Oh, hi * your name * ! Come in and take it easy.

I suppose girls should be cute, don't you agree?

With an Orange Heart:

Oh............w.................welcome. *Blushes.*

I've been daydreaming and breaking dishes lately * love heart * .
*Embarrassed face.*

With Red Heart:

... ......... *Blushing tomato red.*

Oh...sorry...ummm...what did you say? *Still blushing and looking
confused.*

A Few Events:

* When you first go to the Inn Doug will ask you what you think of
Ann. If you say, 'she's cute' Doug and Ann will like you more.

* Once Ann has a purple heart she will ask you if you think she'll
marry soon. If you say yes she'll be shocked but happy (and will
like you more.)

* Once you have 3 egg laying chickens she asks you to give her the
eggs every day. She pays you for it and likes you more if you make
sure to give her the eggs every day (and not skip a day.)

* If Ann has at least a purple heart for you by Summer the 2nd an
invitation will be sent to you inviting you to go to her birthday
party. Then you are meant to see your character carrying a piece of
paper rolled up in yellow ribbon.
Unless you have a cupboard you can not put this paper away and it
stays in your inventory taking up a block of inventory! This can
get really annoying carrying it around for 15 more days especially
if you don't have an upgraded rucksack.
On the day of the party you have to carry the invite to get in
otherwise the door will just be locked. The first time I tried going
to the party there was a glitch and I didn't get the paper. Anyway
going to the party makes Ann like you more and she likes whatever
you give her about double as much as usual so it is a good way to get
Ann to like you. (If you give her her favourite things wrapped up
she will probably even gain a heart for you).

* You see her going into the church and talking to Cliff. She asks
him to come back but he doesn't so she walks off. This happens if
you walk into the church between 11-3.

* When you go to the inn and walk upstairs you see Ann giving Cliff
a meal. This happens only after seeing the first event with Ann and
Cliff.

* When you visit the square in Winter when it is snowing you will
see Cliff collapsing. When Cliff collapses in the Winter check Cliff's
body and you'll find a photo. Go straight to Ann and tell her about
what happened to Cliff. Doug, Pastor Carter, the Doctor, Cliff and
Ann *Phewph* will all like you more for doing this (although Ann and
Cliff will like you especially more.) And if you give back the photo
Cliff will like you even more.

THINGS TO ACCOMPLISH

This section of my guide has some very helpful tips. I wouldn’t
expect you do all the things I suggest you to achieve in this section
because you may want to do things your own way. Never the less I
suggest you read this section because it contains quite a few handy
tips such as the best times to get each girls heart up. I mention a
guide of what to achieve by the end of every season in the first year.
I also describe what to try to achieve by the third year.

A guide to what to achieve by the end of the first Spring:

* When you first start Harvest Moon a great way to make money is by
selling the natural resources.

* You should have enough money to buy seeds. Use your hoe to plow the
field and make it ready for planting seeds. Remember to water them every
day. The best formation for planting at the start is:

s s s
s s s
s s

To make the most of the seeds stand in the middle of the formation. If
you stand somewhere else for example: the top right hand corner you
would only get 4 planted seeds instead of 8. Some people reading this
are probably rolling their eyes thinking I am stating the obvious but
when I first started playing Harvest Moon I didn’t stand in the right
spot when planting seeds so I would end up wasting money instead of
gaining it. Once you have upgraded the watering can twice you can use a
planting formation like this:

s s s
s s s
s s s

* After a few weeks of selling crops and natural resources you should
definitely buy a chicken. Feed it every day and it will give you eggs.
If you miss feeding it a day it won’t give you eggs for three days!
Instead of buying chickens from the poultry farm it is best to put an
egg in the incubator. In a few days the egg will hatch and turn into
a chick.

* I guess that Elli is the girl that would be easiest to get her heart
up with this season because she likes all of the flowers this season.
In the Summer the pink flowers which Popuri loves are around so it would
be best to get her heart up then.
You can get Ann’s heart up any time by giving her spa boiled eggs.
The season that would be best for getting Mary's heart up is definitely
Fall. There are so many natural resources in Fall.
I would recommend getting Karen’s heart up in Winter because you
aren’t focusing on the other girls because by now they will have liked
you enough but any time is all right.

* In the night it is a great idea to cut stumps to collect lumber for
extensions.

* There is a mine behind the goddess fountain. Remember that no time is
taken up when you are inside so this is a great way to get money. If you
are into mining I recommend buying a shipping basket ASAP to make your
mining trips more worthwhile. The shipping basket will allow you to
hold 30 things at a time but beware because whatever you put in the
basket can only be used for shipping so if you accidentally put an egg
in there that you wanted to give to someone you will not be able to and
you will have to sell it.

* See Greg and receive a fishing rod from him.

A guide to what to achieve by the end of the first Summer:

* Plant seeds once again. The Summer crops are renewable which is
great because you are getting so much value for your money.

* You barely get any money from the natural resources this month so
instead of focusing on the resources I would focus on getting the
villagers to like you. As I have mentioned earlier this a great
season for getting Popuri to like you because she really loves the
Summer flowers.

* By now you should have enough money for the upgraded rucksack. Now
you can carry 5 items instead of three.

* You should also have enough money and lumber to do your first
ranch expansion.

* If you have been planting quite a bit you might even be able to
afford a cow or sheep. I would recommend buying cows instead of
sheep because cows can give you a lot more money. Whilst sheep
wool can give up to double the amount of money cows milk can, they
will only give you wool every 2 weeks. Cows on the other hand give
milk every day making them a lot more worthwhile.
Another thing that you should know is that I wouldn't recommend making
the cows pregnant using miracle potions. See Chapter Three - Animals
for more details.

A guide to what to achieve by the end of the first Fall:

* The most worthwhile crop to grow in this game is the sweet potato.
It is renewable, grows quickly, and gives you a good amount of money.
Unless you really want to ship more that 100 of every Fall seed to
unlock the extra Fall seed I would suggest only planting sweet
potatoes. In no time the sweet potatoes will make you rich (trust
me this is probably the best money making tip anyone could give except
for the exchanging animals trick.) One of the best hints anyone could
give on Harvest Moon is to 'GO CRAZY PLANTING SWEET POTATOES.' Even if
it means you practically fill up your whole field and have to employ
a lot of harvest sprites.

* Do more expansions.

* There are so many natural resources. You could go on a ‘Mary spree.'
By the end of this season as long as you give her at least five
natural resources a day she should have a red heart for you. Don’t
give her all of the natural resources. At least sell the truffle
(worth 500.)

* You’ll have enough money this season to buy many animals.

* You should definitely think about buying a shopping basket now.

A guide to what to achieve by the end of the first Winter:

* Do more expansions.

* Because you can’t plant seeds or get natural resources now is your
chance to get the villagers to like you.

* Getting the villagers to like you would be a good thing to do in
Winter because you aren’t real busy with your farm work although
unfortunately you won't be able to use any natural resources or
flowers. This is why having a kitchen by this stage would be a great
idea.

* If you have a shopping basket take it with you whilst mining. You
will make a lot of money mining this way and remember that because
it is Winter the Winter mine (across the lake) is accessible so it
will be easier to find better things whilst mining.

* Fishing and chopping wood would be great for doing in the night.

Here is a little guide of the things you should accomplish by the
end of your three years.

* Have all the house expansions.

* Be Married.

* Try making as many villagers as possible like you.

* See how many recipes you can make (I have wrote down all the recipes
in CHAPTER FIVE.)

* Make a lot of money

* Have a few power berries. Power berries are things which your
character eats to help increase his maximum stamina. Here is how you
can find them all:
* When you mine behind the waterfall you will eventually find a power
berry.
* Fish in the ocean and you will eventually catch one.
* Throw 5 things from your farm that you can ship into the goddess
pond. The goddess will give you a power berry. I have heard rumors
that you can only do this once a day but that isn’t true. The goddess
doesn’t appear on festival days.
* Plant at least 90 flowers in your farm and Anna will come and say
they smell lovely. Tell her that she can have as many as she wants
and she will be happy and give you a power berry.
* Win the swimming festival.
* Try cutting the tree by the flower patch and it will ask you to
stop. If you tell the tree that you will stop you'll get a power
berry. If you cut it you'll faint and never be able to get the power
berry again (unless you load your game.)
* Buy it at the horse race.
* Once you have bought all of the things from the shopping channel
the power berry will be available to buy.
* In Winter go behind the Winter mine and keep pressing X against
the wall that you can't see. Keep trying in different spots behind
the wall and you will eventually find the power berry.
* Mine in the Winter mine and you will find a power berry eventually.
* There is a rumor about being able to find one whilst fishing in the
pond ten levels down from the Winter mine. I have tried to fish for
the power berry but never succeeded. I think it is just a false rumor
because there isn't enough room on the start menu for 11 power berries
and because I have tried to find the power berry many times and never
succeeded.

* Try to have your ranch at least 40 percent improved.
Here are the amounts of percentages that you can get (in order of
what you will probably achieve first.)
I think that you get a little bit of percentage once you have planted
a few seeds and got rid of the junk from when you first arrive at the
farm (cut all the weeds and thrown away all the unneeded things that
you possibly can.)
1% for a certain amount of crops planted.
1% for each heart your dog has.
1% for each heart your horse has.
1% for each animal that you have.
2% for each house expansion.
1% for 15 recipes.
1% for each heart your wife has.
1% for each heart your son has.
NOTE: This does not all add up to 100% and I am not sure exactly how
you get 100%. In fact I have never heard of someone getting 100%
before! If someone could tell me how to get the extra percentages I'd
be really grateful.
