Version History: V0001
--------------------------------------------------------------
Current Version = 3.21
(In order from 1st version to current)
V 1.0----11/08/05----Just the starting of the guide.
Still needs improvement. (Version was REJECTED)
V 1.5----11/15/05----Well, my first version was rejected,
so now I added "What you can do with" and a "Why make this"
and "Plant Reappearance Times" and a "What all the Wild Plants
look like" sections. Also, fixed up the Royal Fern above, but
it still doesn't look right. (Version was REJECTED)
V 1.7----11/16/05----Last version rejected. I now added a
vocabulary note, and changed around my E-mail address so less
people send useless spam. NEW SECTIONS: "What you can contribute"
and "Mushrooms". Fixed a few spelling errors. Redid the quick
search system. TRIED BUT FAILED to make the fern look better.
(Version was REJECTED)
V 1.9----01/03/06----Yeah! It's the New Year. I kind of gave up on
getting this guide onto game FAQs, but after a vacation, I got some
great ideas. I added an "In-Game Plant Descriptions" section, a
"Hybridization with Wild Plants" section, and a "Wild Plant Gift
Ideas" Section. I updated the quick search system (again), and added
in a few more notes. Also, I may not make many more updates, because
I've gotten into FoMT now and I can't stop playing it!
(Version was finally ACCEPTED!)
V 2.0----01/04/06----FINALLY! I've been accepted. This is a mini
update with minor changes. Neoseeker is now allowed to use my
Guide. A few minor changes to the Legal Information Section.
V 2.1----01/13/06----Oh no! It's Friday the 13th! Oh well, I don't
care. So, I added a little 'Wild Plants and your Child' note in the
"What you can do with the wild plants" section, added a new credit,
and changed a little info on my E-mail address. Oh, and put Bracken
into the Mushrooms section.
V 2.3----02/13/06----Oh no! It's Monday the 13th! Well, it's just cool
that it's been a month EXACTLY since the last update. I have now
completely re-vamped the Quick Search system. Added a
"Possible Future Updates" section (which I'm going to really try hard
at doing), changed a little wording around here and there, added a
"My Other Guides" section (It's super short, literally), and added a
"The End" section, because I didn't really like the way my guide ended.
I hope to add a 'Cooking With Wild Plants' section soon, and I'm
planning on making a whole new 'Girl's Wild Plant Guide'.
V 2.5----02/14/06----I've been working really hard since yesterday, and
I've got one of my Possible Future Updates off the list. There is now
an all new "Cooking with Wild Plants" Section. I changed around a few
sentences, added and took away spaces where I wanted them, fixed a few
typos, and added a new Credit. I changed an old credit because, well, I
accidentally wrote the name wrong, but it's correct now! I also
dedicated the guide to a good friend of mine. I also added a tiny
copyright line. This might be my last major update for a long time.
V 2.55----02/15/06----Mini-update. www.supercheats.com is now allowed to
use my guide. That's it.
V 2.6----02/17/06----I have just spell-checked the entire guide. I fixed
all of the typos and misspelled words. I also changed around a few words
that I thought should be different, and capitalized a few things too. A
few spaces added where needed. A pretty small update.
V 2.7----02/25/06----New question in the FAQ section! I changed a few more
words around, added a few little things here and there, and tried to make
some things easier to read. I think I have perfected my guide (as well as
I can, with school and homework and all). I don't think too many updates
are going to come from now on, but I hope to release a new guide soon
when I'm done typing it :) !
V 2.75----02/27/06----I got a new guide now! This update is only to add my
new guide to the list of my other guide. I also took a
"Possible Future Update" off the list. Not a very large update is it?
V 2.8----03/12/06----WOOHOO! I finally replaced the awful picture of a
Royal Fern with something new that I've been working on! I stuffed the
old Royal Fern Picture into a new art section for those (very few)
people who would like to see it. I also pulled another possible future
update from the list, and it is no longer needed! YAY! Oh, and a new
credit.
V 2.85----03/20/06----My birthday is coming up! To celebrate, I've renamed
the "Wild Plant Gift Ideas" section to "Wild Plants as Gifts". I've also
re-typed some of the wording, and I added Mukumuku to the list. ENJOY!
v 2.9----04/09/06----Lots of help from contributors to the guide made this
version possible. Thank you Panzer for some missing info, Thank you Katy8
for a new Fact in the FAQ section, and Thank you Adam Heslop for
confirming the growth spot of Bracken. I also added a few tiny things of
my own here and there.
V 2.95----07/04/06----Hey it's the 4th of July! Anyway, I fixed a somewhat
large typo thanks to Obi-Wan Kenobi (a contributor), in the credits put
as "Great Wall". I'm currently typing a new guide, and I hope I can get
it accepted.
V 3.0----07/19/06----A few minor changes, a new plant regrowth location,
a few fixed typos and a few things added. Most of this thanks to a
contributor by the name of CC. They seemed to read EVERYTHING very
closely, and they were able to pinpoint a bunch of stuff. Also, thanks
to everyone who's read the guide and contributed, it's all much
appreciated!
V 3.01----07/25/06----VERY TINY UPDATE! Just finished a FoMT Wild Plant
Guide, so I had to adjust a few things in this guide.
V 3.2----02/25/07----Probably my last update, or one of my last. I got
a whole bunch of random data from contributors, so I had to add it in.
A few minor changes to legal info, since it's the year 2007. That is all.
(Current)
V 3.21----04/17/07----New guide to other guide list. Minor Changes. New
pictures in Art Gallery. The End.
---------------------------------
Introduction I0002
---------------------------------
Hello everybody. This is my first FAQ, so it might not be the
best. Please send in any suggestions and/or comments on the guide.
(If you spot any misspelled words, please try to point them out).
So, I wanted to write this guide because I had noticed there weren't
any "in-depth" guides about the wild plants. I'm sure some of the other
guides talk about the wild plants, but I thought it would be useful
to have one solely for the wild plants of Forget-Me-Not Valley. This
guide is slightly more useful to the new players of the game. I'm not
sure if HM:AWL is getting many new players anymore, but there have to
be a few, right?
Vocabulary Note: For the few that don't know what FoMT is, it's
the Game Boy Advance Harvest Moon titled "Friends of Mineral Town".
Note: For those who were wondering, there are exactly 15
different wild plants to pick. There are 8 different flowers, and
7 different edible plants. There is also the Strange Mushroom you
have to eat to enter the Harvest Sprite's house, but that doesn't
really count as a wild plant does it? You can't pick it and sell it
or do anything with it (except for eating it).
*******************************************************************
I just want to say that I'm now somewhat bored with HM:AWL
and am hooked onto playing HM:FoMT. This means that I am not going to
be adding too much more new info on this unless some other fans of the
game help with collecting information. Okay. That's all I had to say.
---------------------------------
Why make this guide W0003
---------------------------------
I made this guide because I think it would be useful to all those
new players out there. I know that if I would have had a guide like this
when I just started, I might have benefited from it (Like I probably
wouldn't have sold every single plant I ever picked up). Anyway, I haven't
seen many other guides out there about this topic.

If you send me an E-mail, please make the title of the E-mail:
"AWL Wild Plant Guide"
If you don't, I will not answer your E-mail because it will be
considered junk mail. Please title it this way. It'll be easier
on me that way.
Please send in suggestions/comments about my guide (Tips, something
I don't have, misspelled words, if the guide is useful, etc.)
Please, if you have something to tell me about my guide, send
it in. Also, when you send a suggestion or comment in, please
include your username, or whatever you want your name to be
put as so I can put it in the credits section.
***PLEASE INCLUDE NAME OR USERNAME FOR CREDITS SECTION***
----------------------------------
What you can contribute H0005
----------------------------------
Please, contribute any information I need or don't have.
Please send in questions for the FAQ section, and if you find that
anything in this guide is misspelled, please tell me. I don't have
much time anymore to play the game so I can collect data, so please
help me out with whatever you can. Also, comments are much appreciated.
----------------------------------
Possible Future Updates F0006
----------------------------------
Well, this is the section where I list out some possible future
updates for the guide. I'll try to put them in, but I may never be able
to put them all in. I could use help with them, and if you have any
suggestions for other additions, please send them in.
Finish: "Plant Reappearance Times" section (only 4 dates missing!)
Add: "End of Year Plant Totals" section
Add: "End of Season plant Totals" section
___________________________________________________________
What you can do with the Wild Plants W0007
___________________________________________________________
First of all, all the flowers that you pick can be used as gifts.
They're one of the easier-to-make gifts. Second, everything can be sold
for a 'slight' profit. Third, you can eat all the edible wild plants,
although they don't fill you up as much as normal food. Forth, 3 of the
flowers can be hybridized with your crops. Finally, a few of the wild
plants can be used in some cooking recipes. Also, you can put these
plants into your dog's food bowl. I do it all the time! Well, I think
that's about everything you can do with the wild plants.
***********************************************************
Wild Plants and your Child
***********************************************************
Not only can you use your plants for all the things above,
you can use them to make your Child become a Plant Farmer when he
grows up. All you have to do is show your son flowers and wild plants
everyday (Along with some other things. Please check some other guide
for other things you can do). This is one of the ways to make your kid
decide to be a Plant Farmer.
___________________________________________________________
The Most Useful Wild Plants (in my opinion) W0008
___________________________________________________________
The top 5 most useful plants are:
Upseed
Gemsoil
Happy Lamp
Mugwort
Matsutake
Upseed, Gemsoil, and Happy Lamp are probably the most
important because they're the only wild plants that can be
hybridized with your crops (not your trees). If you hybrid your
crop's seed with the Upseed, you will get an S rank seed from
that crop. The Gemsoil makes your plant be able to grow in ANY
soil fertility, and the Happy Lamp makes your seed grow in ANY
possible season. You can use all three on your seed, but that's
not what this guide is about.
I think the Mugwort is also somewhat useful because it
can be used in a few recipes for cooking. If you want to know
what the recipes are then you should go check someone else's guide.
I know there are some cooking/recipe guides out there.
Finally, I believe the Matsutake is also somewhat useful
because it's worth a lot (100 G, it's not that much, but it's
worth the most compared to the Upseed, coming in at #2 with only
a measly 25 G). I also think there are a few recipes that call for
a mushroom (and a Matsutake is a mushroom if you haven't noticed
....well, but so is a Trumpet).
______________________________________________________________
Hybridization with Wild Plants W0009
______________________________________________________________
When I first heard that you could do hybridization
with some of the wild plants, I was thinking about all the "Royal
Mugworts" and "BrackenBerries" I was going to make. I was
dissappointed when I found out what you could actually do.
The truth is that you can only use 3 different flowers with
hybriding, and all they do is upgrade your crops. They don't actually
make "Upseed Drops" and "Trick Amorous". Go into Takakura's house and
talk to Tartan for the hybriding. (If you don't know about Tartan or
how to get him, please refer to another guide on how to get him).
The 3 different flowers that you can use are: Gemsoil, Happy
Lamp, and Upseed.
If you hybrid your crop with a Gemsoil, a seed will come out
that will be able to grow in any soil fertility.
If you hybrid your crop with a Happy Lamp, a seed will come out
that will be able to grow in any season. (This is pretty cool!)
If you hybrid your crop with an Upseed, an 'S' (Superior)
quality seed will come out. (This is my favorite one!)
Well, okay. This is the first Harvest Moon game to feature
hybriding by the way. I guess it's kind of cool that you can upgrade
your seeds like that. Okay. That's all I have to say on hybridization.

dig site.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I know that it isn't really an Edible Plant, but you can
eat it. Apparently, it makes you shrink so you can squeeze into the
Harvest Sprite's House. There are 2 of these Strange Mushrooms, and
they grow back everyday. If you use them both up in one day, you
can't go into the Harvest Sprite's house for the rest of the day.
It's doesn't really matter because after you've been in there once,
there's really no reason to go again.
*************************************************************
Strange Mushroom:
.One grows on the left side of the Sprite's house.
.Another grows on the right side of the Sprite's house.
*************************************************************
-------------------------------------------------------------
Flower Locations
-------------------------------------------------------------
Goddess Drop:
.Many grow next to the river, up where the crystal flowers are.
.Right behind Vesta's farm around the windmill things.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Upseed:
.By the side of the hill, next to Cody's house (or trailer).
.On your left at the start of the road leading up to Carter's
dig site.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Trick Blue:
.All around Turtle Swamp.

Amorous:
.All around Turtle Swamp.
.In front of the log, between Cody's trailer and Turtle Swamp.
.Between Cody's trailer and the hillside.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Toy Flower:
(Never confuse with Mist Moon. Toy flower has 5 petals, and
Mist Moon has 4)
.Grows around the Sprite's Pond.
.Grows in front of Galen's house (in chapter 2).
.Before chapter 2, it's just a big empty space of grassy land
below Vesta's farm (Chapter 2 and up has a small house
occupying this spot, owned by Galen)
------------------------------------------------------------
Mist Moon:
(Never confuse with Toy Flower. Toy flower has 5 petals,
and Mist Moon has 4)
.Grows around the Sprite's Pond.
.Grows in front of Galen's house (In chapter 2 and up.
before chapter 2, it's just a big empty space of grassy land
below Vesta's farm).
------------------------------------------------------------
Happy Lamp:
(looks like a red tulip)
.On the big grassy patch of land near the mouth of the river
(On the side without the GBA connection path. Also, there is
a little forest by the river, and you can't enter it because
it's too dense, but sometimes you'll see a Happy Lamp growing
in the forest, just out of your reach.)
.By the side of the hill, next to Cody's house (or trailer).
-----------------------------------------------------------
Gemsoil:
.The only plant that grows around Carter's dig site. It grows
close to the river, and it's yellow-ish color makes it hard
to notice in the grass. There is also one right in between
Carter's tent and a plank of wood that sometimes gets skipped over.
Sometimes, some will grow in the bushes, a little further away
from the river and up closer to the digging area, but I know you
won't miss it (now that I've told you anyway).
-----------------------------------------------------------
___________________________________________________________
Plant Reappearance Times R0013
___________________________________________________________
I'm still missing a bunch of data on when certain plants
grow back. Here are the few I have figured out so far, but I don't
have much time anymore to try and find some new times.
The day typed is the day that the plant grows back on. If
it says it grows back in 1 day, that means it grows everyday. If it
says 5 days, it means that the flower will grow ON that 5th day.
Mugwort: 1 day
Goddess drop: 2 days
Toy Flower: 2 days
Mist Moon: 2 days
Hackberry: 1 day
Trumpet: 2 days
Gemsoil: 5 days *mr.seagull_1 says only 2 days*
Trick Blue: 2 days
Amorous: 2 days
Upseed: 2 days
Sorrel: 2 days *Anyone want to confirm this?*
Royal Fern: 2 days *Anyone want to confirm this?*
Bracken: 2 days
Matsutake: 2,3, or 5 days *Anyone want to confirm this?*
These are all the times I have currently found out. I'm still
missing the plants below. If anyone has any info about them, please
send me an e-mail about it.
Happy Lamp: ??? *Does anyone know?*

Wild Plants as Gifts G0015
___________________________________________________________
This section is all about using wild plants as gifts for towns
people. I'm not sure if I have everyone, and now that school has started,
I don't much have time to check them. Oh, and this is all flowers, not
the edible plants like Mugwort. (By the way, don't use any of those
special flowers like Gemsoil, Happy Lamp, or Upseed. Save those for
hybridizing your crops.) Okay, these are the people who'll accept flowers
as gifts:
Romana
Gustafa
Dr. Hardy
Celia
Vesta
Nina
Muffy
Cody
Rock (on and off) (Can anyone confirm this?)
Lumina
Flora
Ruby
Chris
Griffin
Kassey
Patrick
Mukumuku (The white furry animal. He'll accept up to 5 flowers a day!)

FAQ Section F0016
___________________________________________________________
This is the facts and questions section where people ask
the questions, and I'll try to answer them. Please, if you have any
questions that have to do with my topic, send them in and I'll
try to answer them. The first FAQs below are ones that I made for
other people with those questions.
Q= Question
A= Answer
F= Fact
C= Comment
My own FAQs.
___________________________________________________________
Q: How many wild plants are there all together?
A: For those of you who didn't see my note at the bottom
of the introduction section and don't feel like counting them up,
the answer is 15. 8 flowers and 7 edible plants. This isn't counting
in the strange mushroom growing in front of the Harvest Sprite's house
(or tree, depending on what you want to call it).
___________________________________________________________
Q: When hybriding the Upseed, Gemsoil, or Happy Lamp with
one of my seeds, do I put the flower first or the seed first?
A: This doesn't even have to do with my guide (It's a hybrid
guide type-of-question), but I don't think it really matters what
order you put them in.
___________________________________________________________
Q: Will my name be put in the credits if you put my question
into this guide?
A: The only reason your name WOULDN'T be in the credits would
be if you sent in a dumb question like this one!
___________________________________________________________
Q: In your guide, you have a section titled
"In-Game Plant Descriptions" and another titled
"What all the Wild Plants look like". What's the difference?
A: The first section has the descriptions of wild plants that the
game itself has, and the other one is MY description of what the
wild plants look like. It's kind of confusing.

(Fact sent from Katy8)
(copied directly from E-mail)
F: The sayings for wild flowers are NOT really true for example:
for Gemsoil The Stem helps grow healthy fruits, I tried sticking it in the
ground but nothing happened :(
C: I would like to comment by saying that sticking the gemsoil in
the ground won't help, you have to hybrid the gemsoil with a crop to make
it work. Hope that helps!

What all the Wild Plants look like W0017
___________________________________________________________
This section tells you what all the Wild Plants look like,
so you would know what you're picking. If you have your own
opinion about how a plant looks, and you think it describes the
plant more accurately than my description, feel free to send me an
E-mail about it.
Edible Plants
----------------------------------------
Mugwort: Looks like a big 3-leaved clover. Dark green.
----------------------------------------
Royal Fern: Light green. Looks like a smaller, thinner version
of the Mugwort.
----------------------------------------
Trumpet: A fat, round mushroom that's low to the ground. It's stem
is white-ish, and the cap is orange.
----------------------------------------
Bracken: Looks like a dead root of a tree coming up from the ground.
It's brown.
----------------------------------------
Hackberry: I would like to know how it got "Berry" into it's name.
It looks more like a bucket that's full to the brim with mud, or
someone spewed into it. (I'm serious. HACK-berry) It's actually a
mushroom.
----------------------------------------
Matsutake: A tall-ish shriveled mushroom. It has a fat stem, and
a small round dark brown top.
----------------------------------------
Sorrel: Dark Green. Almost like a big flower that grows out of the
ground, and is entirely green. It's just a green sphere with green
leaves growing out from the side.
----------------------------------------
Strange Mushroom: It looks like a Trumpet, but it has a red top.
----------------------------------------
Flowers:
----------------------------------------
Goddess Drop: An all yellow plant with a stem, and 2 multi-petaled
yellow flowers on it.
----------------------------------------
Toy Flower: A normal looking flower. Green stem, yellow flower
with 5 petals. Often confused with Mist Moon.
----------------------------------------
Happy Lamp: Looks just like a red tulip, except maybe a tad smaller.
----------------------------------------
Mist Moon: Looks a lot like Toy Flower. Mist Moon has a green stem,
and a yellow flower. There are only 4 petals, and they have a
slightly odd shape to them.
----------------------------------------
Trick Blue: An odd two headed flower. One flower is orange-reddish,
and on the other side, the flower is blue.
----------------------------------------
Gemsoil: This one is hard to describe. It's a weird greenish
yellowish plant with a zig-zaggy stem and two leaves.
----------------------------------------
Amorous: A green stem. Has two flower buds, and both of them are
a light yellow.
----------------------------------------
Upseed: It's a normal flower except for the petals. It has red AND
yellow ones. 5 red petals and 5 yellow petals.
----------------------------------------

Mushrooms M0018
___________________________________________________________
There are some cooking recipes in the game that call for a
mushroom. Currently, I know about four mushrooms that you can use
(and I think that's all that there are).
1: Trumpet
2: Matsutake
3: (although I wouldn't think it's a mushroom) Hackberry
4: Bracken (but this has yet to be confirmed)
These are the four mushrooms you have to choose from if you
want to make a recipe with a mushroom needed in it. The next section
talks about all of the Wild Plant recipes that I have been able to
collect. If you want to make some of the recipes, GOOD LUCK!

Cooking with Wild Plants C0019
___________________________________________________________
Here I have gathered together all of the recipes I know
(but I borrowed a few from SuperMario1024's Cooking/Recipes guide)
that involve using Wild Plants. For all the Rare Crops and things
that I don't explain how to make, go to SuperMario1024's cooking
guide and see how to make the things for yourself. When there is
more than 1 ingredient in a section, it means that you can chose the
ingredient. I myself am not a very good cook in the Harvest Moon
world.
*R.C. Stands for Rare Crop. Refer to another guide for more info.*

Plant Collecting Routes R0020
___________________________________________________________
***********************************************************
This section is all my opinion. It's just a POSSIBLE route you can
take every day to collect those wild plants. Please, if you find
any errors or mistakes, or even plants I left out along the way,
please send me an e-mail about it.
***********************************************************
I'm one of those kind of people who wake up 1AM every
day in Harvest Moon and run around (on my horse, because its
faster. DUH!) collecting all the wild plants. I like to get the
most I can from nature itself (only in the game though). This
section is for those who too like to collect all the wild plants
around them every day. Now, make sure you know that you won't be
able to find these plants in that spot every day.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Spring: (make sure to keep an eye out for any plants along the way)
Exit the house and turn around and go behind it for a Mugwort.
Keep going until you reach the small un-used building, and then
take a turn to the right. Exit out of the farm and go up to the
Sprite's Area. By the river, you may spot some Goddess Drops.
Around the pond, you might see some Toy Flowers. Collect everything
and run to Cody's trailer. Right next to the hillside there,
a Mugwort sprouts every few days. Right above that, by Kassey and
Patrick's house, you should find another Mugwort. Then run up to
Romana's house. When you enter the yard, turn left and you might
find a Mugwort there. Run back down and cross the bridge. Run down
to Galen's house (or in Chapter 1, the big patch of empty land),
where you might find some Toy Flowers. Pick them and run up to the
GBA connection path. Nearby it, there might be a Mugwort, and
sometimes, growing all around Vesta's windmills, you'll find a
patch of Goddess Drops. Finally, run up to the pathway leading to
Carter's dig site. Somewhere on the left side, next to the river,
you should find a Mugwort. After this, go do whatever you please.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Summer: (make sure to keep an eye out for any plants along the way)
Exit the house and turn around and go behind it. Keep going until
you reach the small un-used building, and then take a turn to the
right (somewhere near the average fertile field, you'll find a
Royal Fern). Exit out of the farm and go up to the Sprite's Area.
Around the pond, you might see some Mist Moons. Run strait out
of the place and down to the river, close to Gustafa's place.
There might be a bunch of Happy Lamps in this area. Collect all of
them and run to Cody's trailer. Right next to the hillside there,
a Royal Fern sprouts every few days, and you'll find a single Happy
Lamp here every once in a while. Then, after you've collected them,
run up to Romana's house. When you enter the yard, turn left and
you might find a Royal Fern growing there, nearby where the Mugwort
usually grows. Run back down and cross the bridge. Run down to
Galen's house (or in Chapter 1, the big patch of empty land),
where you might find some Mist Moons. Pick them and run up to
the GBA connection path. Nearby it, there might be a Royal Fern.
Finally, run up to the pathway leading to Carter's dig site.
Somewhere on the left side, next to the river, you should find a
Royal Fern. After this, go do whatever you want to do.
----------------------------------------------------------
Fall: (Make sure to keep an eye out for any plants along the
way. During Fall, you'll find many Hackberries growing along
my designated pathway.)
Exit the house and turn around and go behind it. Keep going
until you reach the small un-used building, and then take a
turn to the right (somewhere near the average fertile field,
you'll find a Hackberry). Exit out of the farm and go up to
the Sprite's Area (you should find another 2 Hackberries before
you leave the farm). On the right side of the Sprite's house,
you'll find a Hackberry. On the left side you should find 2
Trumpets and a Bracken. Go to Turtle Swamp and you might find
Trick Blues growing around it. There's a log near the lower
part of the swamp, and Trick Blues grow in front of that too
sometimes. Right next to the hillside by Cody's trailer, a
Hackberry sprouts. Then, after you've collected it, run up to
the water tower. Here you can find Bracken and a Trumpet (and
sometimes another Hackberry). Run up to Romana's. You can find
a Hackberry up in the upper left corner, and a Bracken in the
upper right corner. Run back down and cross the bridge. Up
behind Vesta's farm, against the hillside, you can find 2
Matsutakes. Finally, run up to the pathway leading to Carter's
dig site. This is where all the Gemsoils grow. Collect them.
After this, go do whatever you want to do.
----------------------------------------------------------
Winter: (make sure to keep an eye out for any plants along the way)
Exit the house and run over to the small un-used building.
There should be a Sorrel hidden around there. You'll find
another Sorrel near the very fertile field. Next, run strait
to Turtle Swamp. Amorous flowers grow around it. Collect them
and go down to the log, where you might find even more Amorous
growing. Now run over to the other side of Cody's trailer, and
if you're feeling really lucky, ANOTHER patch of Amorous might
be there. By the hillside, you might find an Upseed and/or a
Sorrel. Run up to the water tower and keep an eye out for a
Sorrel growing there. Run up to Romana's and take a right when
you enter her garden. A sorrel might be waiting for you around
the corner. The last plant I think you might find is an Upseed
growing next to the river on the way up to Carter's dig site.
