Best Use Strategy for Strawberry
Best Spring regrowth crop after the Egg Festival and a strong Year 2 setup crop.
Best choice
Grow for repeated harvests; Keg excess berries when Keg capacity is not needed by higher-value fruit.
Do this
Buy heavily at the Egg Festival, plant immediately, and save some fruit for Seed Makers before Year 2.
Avoid this mistake
Do not spend all money without leaving enough for Summer seeds. Strawberry is good, but cash flow matters.
