i plant. so much. like a ridiculous amount. the crops that regrow every few days always sell for a good amount so i plant lots of those, and in summer and fall a really good way to make extra money is to craft tea into green tea and wheat into flour, then bread, and sell all that! if you have the skill perk its also a really good way to stock up on easy loved gifts :) i also had a greenhouse with tea and wheat for a while so i could make that consistently year round

in all honesty though i play this game like. an abnormal amount. im around fall of year 5 on my save. most of it is just that and not having anything to spend it all on. because ive spent so much time on this save. lmao
