When giving grass to harvest sprites, make sure to try and color coordinate (e.g. give the blue sprite blue grass, purple sprite purple grass, etc.) This will have a much bigger effect in building friendships.
Give the Harvest Goddess a flower for ten consecutive days. If you do, she will give you a Power Berry.
To attempt this cheat, you need a basket. On the 18th day of both the Spring and Fall seasons, there will be a horse race. Before entering the square where the race is, be sure to save. Then, watch the races, but don't bet any of your money. Remember (or write down) the winners, and then exit and reload the game. Bring your basket to the race and bet on the winning horse from your "test" race. Follow that by trading your medals in for bracelets. Then you can sell them - when Zack comes, he'll give you lots of money for them.

Infinite Eggs
To do this cheat you must have 1-4 chickens that lay eggs. take all the eggs and put them into the shipping box. Once you have done this turn off the game boy and turn it back on. The chickens will have layed more eggs. You can do this as many times as you want. This is how I got max money in my first year.

GIRLS
As life continues, yu might get lonely and are looking for a mate. The
girls in this game are perfect for you. There are in total four eligible
bacheloretts.
Ann>> works at Doug's in. You can find Ann here almost all the time. Sh
is either on the first floor or in one of the rooms upstairs. Her dad,
Doug owns the inn. Ann likes chocolate, flowers, your dog, homemade
meals, anything homemade. DO NOT.....give any piece of jewelry if you
are not at least a yellow heart with her. I gave her a necklace when she
had a grey heart and she hasn't spoken to me since.
Karen>> works, and apparently lives, at the super market. I haven't
really seen her around anywhere else but here. Ann doesn't like
chocolates. She's into nature, so get her anything from your farm or
something you find in the woods. If you want to marry Karen, make sure
to go after her right away. Won, the merchant also has his eyes on her
so you have to act quick before he gets her.
Popuri>>lives at the chicken farm. She is very nice to new comers. This
is really the only place you'll ever see her, so if she isn't here try
another time. She will accept almost anything except things from the
woods. She is really into wool, milk, eggs, mayo, yarn, and cheese. so
basically any product coming from your livestock. Again, someone else is
after this girl. Kai, the little pirate look alike guy at the beach
house wants to marry popuri, so act fast.
Mary>> is the towns librarian, so its a no brainer that she is either in
the libray at the north west end on town, or in her house right next
door. Mary is kind of a mystery to me and I don't know much about her. I
think she likes bugs and animals though. Saibar's randson, the one with
the hat who was Ann's bro. in the N64 version, has his eye set on her
after she helped him take care of an injury he suffered in the workshop.
Act quick before she is taken.
All the girls like gifts. But for a gift actually take effect, it has to
be wrapped in gift paer. This can be bought at the market. Cost=100,
very cheap and worth it. To get a girl to marry you, she must have a
bright red heart for you. You must then look for the blue feather which
is either at the black smith,or with Won at Zack's house on the beach.
Certain girls you marry give you an advantage. For example,,,
Ann>>discount at Doug's inn on food
Karen>>none that i know
Poopuri>>helps you fedd and take care of livestock and her mom charges
less for animal medicine.
Mary>>none that i know
WON THE TRAVELING MERCHANT
Won is new to the harvest moon games. He is from
the ORIENT, and has many things you may find useful He has different
kinds of crops that if you grow and harvest, you can get more money from
than from regular crops. He also has flowers that are rare and get extra
pts w/ ur girl. Later on he will get a ball and Frisbee for your dog. He
aldo has pearls of truth or something like that, that get you something
good. ONLY TRY TO GET THESE IF YOU ARE FILTHY RICH!!! Each is 50.000.
BEWARE HOWEVER>>>>
Won coms to your house once a month to sell you some AMAZING apples with
really weird names that stand for weirder phrases that don't make sense.
DO NOT BUY... they are just regular apples.
THINGS TO DO DURING THE WINTER
The winter month does not allow you to grow any crops. However, your pursue for $$$ does not have to come to a halt. You can still get money from your livestock. As far as I know, cows and sheep cannot be let outside to graze. However, chickens can be left outside to get food, as long as there is no storm, or snowing. If it is they must be inside and fed chicken feed. The honey thing still produces honey. The lake mine, the one in the middle of the lake that was unreachable because of, um, lets see, THE LAKE!!!, can now be reached because the lake has frozen over. In this mine, there are a bunch of new ores that can be mined and serve the sole purpose of being sold. And usually for $100+. Fishing can also bring you great profits. For better results, get your fishing rod upgraded so that you can catch bigger fish. You can do this at the beach, the spring, or other little brooks and streams around the farm.
Upgrading tools
To upgrade a tool you have to have several things. One, you need an ore
so that a new tool can be made. Ores are found in the spring mine, next
to the hot springs. Here you can smash the rocks to get certain ores, or
dig with your hoe to get coins in the ground, or stairs, that lead you
down further into the mine. The further you go, the more valuable the
ores become. They range from, coal, copper, silver, gold, mysthil, a
blue ore used for ultimate upgrading, and orichal, which can only be
used to make jewelry. To upgrade you also need experience w/ a tool.
Experience comes with using the tool. The more you use it, the higher a
level the tool can be upgraded. To check the level of upgrading
available, press select, and go to the lat page with all the tools, and
the bars going across. The bar has different colors...
red=bronze ore
grey=silver ore
yellow=gold ore
blue= mysthil ore
When each bar is full then it will change color, and you can then
upgrade ur tool to what ever color it was before. Example...
if the bar was red, and then turned grey, you could then get a bronze
too. You must wait until the grey color disappears before getting a
silver tool. Finally, you must take both the tool and the ore you want
to upgrade with to Saibara, the blacksmith. He will charge 1000-4000
depending on what ore you are giving him. He will stay with the tool for
a certain amount of days so he can upgrade it, so make sure your not
going to need that tool.

Where to find Orchilic
First take your hoe and hammer to the mine by the hotspring. Then, dig
around the 1st mine floor until you find some stairs. Continue until you
get to the 10th floor. Then, hammer some minerals and you will hopefully
find orechilic! (if you get tired you can dig for black herbs or you can
leave and go to the hotspring.)
