The best times to upgrade the watering can is when the following day doesn't require its use. Such as the day before rain is expected, or the second to last day of the season.
==Watering crops==
The rain take care watering your plants the following morning. Blacksmith will takes 2 days to complete your upgrade.
The best times to upgrade the [[Watering Can|watering can]] is the day before it is supposed to rain or the second to last day of the [[:Category:Seasons|season]]. The [[Blacksmith]] requires 2 days to upgrade a tool, and rain automatically waters [[crops]], so the Watering Can will be ready for pick-up the day after it rains.
[[Sprinklers]] can be used to automate much of the farming process and free up a lot of time to do other things. They automatically water adjacent tiles every morning.
==Energy==
[[Energy]] limits productivity. One of the main ways to overcome this is by eating [[food]]. Most [[crops]] and many foraged items can be eaten in order to regain energy.
On the third day of summer, an earthquake will remove the rocks that block the path leading to the [[Spa]] (north of the [[Carpenter's Shop]]). The Spa will fully restore energy over a short period of time.
==Skills==
The only way to level up [[skills]] is by actively performing related tasks. Farming increases [[farming]]. Foraging increases [[foraging]]. Mining increases [[mining]]. And fishing increases [[fishing]].
==Villagers==
:See also: [[List of Best Gifts by Villager]]
Giving gifts to [[villagers]] will increase their friendship rating. At certain levels of friendship, villagers will send [[cooking]] recipes in the mail.
==Television==
The [[television]] provides useful information, such as weather forecasts, fortune telling, free [[cooking]] recipes, and other general tips.
