Farming (HMDS)

From Harvest Moon - Wiki on Neoseeker

A screenshot of farming in Harvest Moon DS.

Farming in this Game is done by Buying seeds from Vesta, or getting them from the sprite game corner, Then Watering them daily with your Watering can unless it is raining. There are many different kinds of crops, which each in turn have a Growing season. Growing a crop in a season that is not its own will result in Crop failure, where your crop will not grow. You may wait for each season individually, or, you may build a basement and go into the third mine and get a season's sun. Put the on the pedestal, And your Basement is now a different Season.
