33 Months Ago, Karura from Azure Flame says (in Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 3 Spring Part I) Since harvesting and watering the crops took until late evening, I decided to forego foraging for the third day in a row- calm winter now seems far away compared to these hectic days.

In other news, the cows were so unruly this morning that I was forced to give up milking partway through, whil...

And Karura from Azure Flame says (in Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 2 Winter Part II) Today I tried my hand at the complex Chirashi Sushi, a dish made from scrambled eggs, sashimi and rice. I was rather worried that such a recipe would be beyond me and I would end up with another Food Fiasco, but happily I was able to pull it off. Maybe I should enter it in the cooking festival this s...

And Karura from Azure Flame says (in Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 2 Winter Part I) Another winter has taken Mineral Town into its clutches, and as always, this means that snow has magically appeared everywhere. Without crops to trouble me (even the hothouse must be neglected until I get my watering can back), I spent a brief time mining in the Winter Mine for Mystrile, be...

34 Months Ago, Karura from Azure Flame says (in Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 2 Autumn Part II) Day 29
I have worked so hard this autumn that I have decided it is time to take a well deserved rest. Therefore, after harvesting the last couple of eggplants and a few green peppers and of course attending to the usual tasks, I went back into the house at 8:40am in order to sleep until tomorrow.

And Karura from Azure Flame says (in Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 2 Autumn Part I) Nonetheless, work still has to be done, and so I spent the morning harvesting the first crop of carrots and green peppers, before heading over to the supermarket. Since Karen was there, I gave her an apple, but she disliked it- I hope I have not damaged our relationship. Afterwards, I nipped o...

And Karura from Azure Flame says (in Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 2 Summer Part II) Three of the four pineapple plots had ripened today, and it occurs to me that if I had not let those incompetent Harvest Sprites do the watering for a few days, the fourth one would be as well. Damn those Harvest Sprites, thanks to them, both corn and pineapples are behind where they should be.

And Karura from Azure Flame says (in Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 2 Summer Part I) This morning the Harvest Sprites showed up for work, and so I left them to get on with the watering whilst I concentrated on harvesting the season’s first crop of onions and then replanting the onion patch. I decided to keep some of the onions in the fridge for my cooking experiments, and even...

35 Months Ago, Karura from Azure Flame says (in Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 2 Spring Part II) The other farms went relatively smoothly today, and I am pleased to note that most of my cows are now producing enough milk to fill a large container every day. Unfortunately, both cows and sheep do make an occasional bid for freedom when I open the barn doors, forcing me to push them back in.

And Karura from Azure Flame says (in Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 2 Spring Part I) The first crop of potatoes was ready this morning, and so my morning was spent harvesting them, although in my excitement I accidentally smashed one on the ground- why does this always happen? With that over with, I was able to get back to the usual tasks, but with some exceptions- from now o...

And Karura from Azure Flame says (in Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 1 Winter Part II) Fortunately, the blizzard has passed, but in its place we had another of those accursed snowy days. Unfortunately, since I was unable to tend the animals yesterday, the cows had not produced any milk and a few of the sheep were in a sour mood, although a few of them had enough wool for me to clip....

36 Months Ago, Karura from Azure Flame says (in Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 1 Autumn Part II) Anyway, with all that over with, I returned home to begin planting grass and caring for the animals, but unfortunately I only had time to plant a mere four bags and attend to all the other farming tasks. I have not even foraged, mined or chopped lumber for days.

And Karura from Azure Flame says (in Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 1 Summer Part II) With the end of the season in sight, I have begun cutting down the crops that will not regrow by the time autumn is upon us. More importantly, however, I have finally obtained my first cow, Elrood, hopefully the start of a lucrative dairy business (even if it does mean that caring for the cows i...

And Karura from Azure Flame says (in Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 1 Summer Part I) Today I was finally able to buy some Tomato and Corn seeds from the shop; now the season’s planting can truly begin, and with it, endless watering and harvesting looms. I am continue to charm Popuri, but after yesterday’s misstep, I have little hope of getting past black heart status any tim...

37 Months Ago, Karura from Azure Flame says (in Harvest Moon Anton’s Diary: Year 1 Spring Part II) After harvesting the latest batch of cucumbers and seeing to my chickens, I decided to head out to the mine in order to find some silver for my hammer upgrade. Unfortunately, my efforts only rewarded me with copper, gold and mystrile, and without any way to store them, I was forced to sell the...
