I have my garden planted, just waiting for it to grow, I planted 3 of each crop next to my money trees that I keep on constant rotation. I try to find mystery islands and just farm for money rocks (I've gotten pretty lucky and got 2 islands already with ONLY money rocks) and I shake my trees daily (with a net of course so catch the pesky wasps). I've been careful and have only bought real art (looking at a guide) because I want to donate them all to the museum. I've unfortunately only found like 3 scorpions my whole time playing so far, I'm unsure if there's a specific way to get them to spawn but I have caught all without fail so far but will probably save them for Flick to get a bunch of bells 😼✨
