--'`````'-'```````````````'---------------------------------------------------- This is useful when trying to find out when you will need to go to the supermarket to buy your new crops each season or whatever. Works best with your single crops like turnips so you know when to buy more to maximize profit. This also lets you see ahead to see if the store is closed so you can buy early if need be. You can also use this to know when to hire sprites or when a big harvest will arrive. The reason is says below Harvest/Plant is for single crops. Some of those dates may be dates that you not only have to harvest, but replant your single crops.
