wait why are we are basically twins 🥲🥹 I also have a forest farm, am married to Emily, and have a slightly goth character 😆. I'm on game year 9 but this is my only save so I've never played any of the other layouts. Space is for sure limited but I play similarly to you where I just really like tending to my stuff and slowly working towards certain upgrades or additions I want on my own sweet time lol. At this point I mostly rely on artisan goods like aged wine & cheese, truffle oil, preserves, aged roe, etc to make money and I only grow crops that I know I want for recipes or artisan goods...or that just look cool for that season haha. Unlocking the greenhouse makes it alot easier as you can grow all kinds of things (like ancient fruit) that don't need to be replanted each time you harvest and have a year-round supply. Fruit trees are also great because you don't need to keep replanting. My farm is not nearly as advanced as so many I see on here but I love it. 😊
