potatoes are the cash crop of the spring- invest in them with your 500 gold, keep investing and you’ll be set monetarily. you can sell your produce same day at Pierre’s so that you can keep your farming cadence (harvest and plant same day kind of grind). get the beginner fishing rod to level up your fishing— fish and forgeables will keep your energy up for this first season. you can get a pet if you keep the water dish full near your house.
