Ever wondered what "Ginger Island" was? Or the "Queen of Sauce" event, which I keep mentioning? Look no further! Please note: this section contains spoilers!

Ginger Island

Ginger Island is an island in the Fern Islands archipelago. It can be accessed only after completing the Community Center or Joja Community Development Form, and then repairing the boat in the back room of Willy’s Fish Shop. Purchasing a ticket to ride the boat costs 1,000g, and includes the return fee.

Crops grown on the island are not affected by seasons, similar to the greenhouse.

The island features an "island farmhouse" which, when repaired, enables the beach resort to be built for 20 golden walnuts (the currency of the island).

The island also sports a Pirate Cove, Dig Site, Island Field Office, Volcano Dungeon, and much more within its four sections: South, East, North & West.

The Queen of Sauce Event

The Queen of Sauce is a television channel (accessible by your TV in your house) which teaches the player various cooking recipes - which have been mentioned throughout this guide. Beginning on Spring 7, an exclusive recipe airs every Sunday for the first two years of the game.

A sprinkler is a crafted item that waters a specific number of tiles (above, below and beside) every morning. They are crucial to kick-starting your gardening career.

Sprinkler - Ingredients: 1 copper bar & 1 iron bar. Can only be crafted upon reaching farming level 2.

Quality Sprinkler - Ingredients: 1 iron bar, 1 gold bar & 1 refined quartz. Can only be crafted upon reaching farming level 6. Quartz is found in the Mines, but can be smelted into Refined Quartz in a furnace.

Iridium Sprinkler - Ingredients: 1 gold bar, 1 iridium bar & 1 battery pack. Can only be crafted upon reaching farming level 9. The battery pack can be produced by the Lightning Rod during thunderstorms.


You are all familiar with the standard watering can. But did you know it can be upgraded at the Blacksmiths' Shop? At it's lowest upgrade (from the time it's placed in your inventory at the beginning of the game) it can only water 1 tile, and uses 1 unit of water. On the other end of the scale, the Iridium Watering Can has the ability to water 18 tiles at once and uses 5 units of water for this task.

Copper Watering Can - Ingredients: 2,000g (from the Blacksmiths' Shop) & 5 copper bars.

Steel Watering Can - Ingredients: 5,000g & 5 iron bars.

Gold Watering Can - Ingredients: 10,000g & 10 gold bars.

Iridium Watering Can - Ingredients: 25,000g & 5 iridium bars.


Ever wondered what the weird bin on your farm was used for? Wonder no longer! This item provides a considerably speedier way to sell items (rather than traveling all the way to Pierre's shop, that is) by simply placing items inside and when you go to sleep each night you will receive gold accordingly.
You can also purchase them for 250g and 150 wood from the Carpenter's Shop and place them anywhere on your farm.

Below I have included any information regarding the planting process that may help you to ensure you won't make the same mistake twice.

1. Plant on the first day of the season. Make sure you allow time for growth as some plants are not ready for harvest as soon as others and may take the entire season. Then you can always add more plants from there on, but if you have a really rare seed, plant it earlier rather than later in order to be safe. Make sure you've got insurance on your valuables, in other words.

2. Space any trellis-growing plants wisely. Make sure that if you plant something that grows on a trellis you space them out so you can harvest every single plant. It's extremely frustrating if there's something blocking you from harvesting that middle one.

Here is an example picture:










You can see that in the first picture, the three middle tiles are unable to be watered or harvested. In the second picture, you can water and harvest them all from the outside. (Please note: the quality sprinkler was used for the example's sake, but you can always leave that - middle - tile bare and water as normal.)

3. Make sure you've got your sprinklers installed and functional. You'll want to be careful placing these, too. I've included an example of the optimal layout (using quality sprinklers) before you upgrade to a greenhouse below.

You can repeat this pattern however you wish, but hopefully this gives you a basic idea to begin with.



4. Upgrade your sprinklers as you progress. (For more information, see the section titled "Sprinklers & Tools".)

5. Ensure you have plenty of inventory space when harvest time rolls around - especially if you have a variety of plants and each will therefore take up more slots in your inventory.

A larger inventory can be purchased in the form of a backpack upgrade available from Pierre's Store. The large pack (24 slots) is 2,000g, and the Deluxe pack (36 slots) is 10,000g - but can only be purchased after the large pack upgrade of course.

The greenhouse is present on your farm right from the beginning of the game, but can only be unlocked through completing the "Pantry" bundle at the Community Centre (see the section on Community Bundles for more information). Or by purchasing the Community Development Project for 35,000g.

Community Development Project

This Jojo Community Development Form is the JojoMart equivalent of the Community Centre Bundles. It can be accessed by talking to Morris after paying 5,000g for a JojoMart membership and transforming the Community Centre into a JojoMart warehouse. The player is then able to complete town restoration "developments" by purchasing them from the Jojo Community Development Form. The project in question (the greenhouse) is then able to be purchased for 35,000g from this catalogue of sorts.

Recommended (Basic) Sprinkler Layout

By using a conglomeration of basic-ish sprinklers, I have created a decent layout that is reasonably simple to recreate and ensures that every tile within the dirt square is watered automatically.

Disregard the disorganised collection of plants scattered around, the below example is merely indicating how I have chosen to place my sprinklers.




Fruit Tree Layout

It is possible to grow 18 fruit trees inside the greenhouse outside the planting area on any tiles that do not hold decorations. Below is an example (with the trees circled):

I began writing this guide in the hopes that it would equip you with the tools that are necessary in order to ensure you have a thriving farm, and the motivation to boost you in that direction. I really hope this has done that for you.

I have spent several months gradually adding to it because I decided I couldn't leave out certain things, and one thing lead to another, and - well, here we are! So I apologise to anyone who dislikes extensive, wordy guides - I hope that you will be able to jump to the desired section next time you drop by in order to find the information you're looking for straight away.

I'll be the first to admit I don't have a lot of knowledge about the game, but in research for this guide I learnt a lot and I sincerely hope I have passed on some of that to you and that it will prove fruitful. If you find anything in the guide that you don't think is covered sufficiently, let me know in the comments section so I can make the necessary alterations.

I would love to hear your feedback and comments. If you notice any errors, please point them out. If you have any inquiries or complaints, please do not hesitate to let me know!

Feedback is what helps one improve, so if you have something negative you want to share about this guide, I'd love to hear from you, regardless!

But all this to say that I so am grateful to you for taking the time to read this guide. I appreciate you all so much! :D
