The first upgrade in the Menu at the General Store is a cause for great rejoicing as it gives you the options to purchase an Ice Cream Maker, a Refrigerator and a Telephone. I still am working on Sunshine Islands and the Calendar in that game does not match the one in Animal Parade. This sort of error is easy to make when you are involved in more than one Harvest Moon game simultaneously. Planting them on the 24th and 25th, they had only 3 or 4 days to mature and thus were doomed. Most of the new Crops required AT LEAST FIVE DAYS to mature. I did the Maths, but my calculations ALL were wrong, based on the fact that I allocated a full 30 days to the Season. I had unlocked Level 2 Crops in the last week of Spring and was determined to grow as many of them as possible. You MUST be conscious of this if you plant crops late in the season. In some games, there are 30 days to each Season but in others, such as Animal Parade, the Season lasts only 28 days. If all Harvest Moon and Rune Factory games had Seasons of equal length, this mistake would not have occurred. Incidentally, I made a very wasteful miscalculation in Animal Parade in the first Spring. How much more convenient it would have been if I could have grown Wheat in Summer as well as Spring!
I only obtained access to Taylor's Seed Catalogue in the last week of Spring. I confess I rather miss that aspect of Tree of Tranquility though. I reloaded immediately to a safe date where I could harvest all of my Spring Crops before they were wasted. Naturally, I didn't subject my own life to this sort of devastation. I have provided concrete proof in the form of a screenshot. On the 1st Day of any new Season, all of last Season's Crops still in the ground will wither and die. Well, Animal Parade reverts to traditional Harvest Moon form. This option was extremely helpful to a new Farmer, especially if you unlocked new Crops rather late in any given Season. Admittedly, when a Crop continued to grow after its designated Season, its growth was much slower, but you still could manage to eke a few out-of-season Crops from your Land. In ToT, i was delighted to discover that you actually could grow Crops out of season. I know that Mayor Hamilton made a special visit on the 10th day of Spring to WARN me about this, but I always have to test everything myself.
