Updated 16/7/20 – Fixed Cliff and Basil Birthday date
Being a sequel to Your First Spring, this guide will covers notable activities on Summer, following notable villagers to befriend, and last but not the least, day to day reminders. If you liked Your First Spring, be sure to check this out to make sure you get the best part out of Summer!
Notable Activity
Continued From Spring
- Offering Gift to Goddess – Everyday: Do so until Van and Lou make their appearance
- Church Confession – Every Monday, Wednesday, Raining Day 1:00 PM ~ 4:00 PM
- Watching Cooking Channel – Every Tuesday
Planting Pineapples
Buy as much Pineapple seeds you can afford from Huang if you haven’t done it. This will be your best income of the season. Do not plant it after Summer 5 for best profit.
Hiring More Harvest Spirits
This is highly recommended as Summer being the most profitable season (pineapple). There aren’t many choices this time round for selective players. You may focus on Timid (Green) if you want to make use of its birthday on Summer. Alternatively, remember to keep your existing Harvest Spirits relationships high to help in your farm.
Van’s Appearance
Hardworking players in their Goddess Offering should see Van making his first appearance this season. It will only occur on a Sunny Wednesday. Be sure to save & load to clear the day from rain or even typhoon for him. Ideally, you will want him to appear on 2nd or 9th Summer, just so you can buy pet from him on the 15th. Again, he will only be selling on a Sunny 15th, so reload your game if desired. You can read more about Van in this article.
Notable Villagers to Befriend
- Cliff – This is necessary to keep him in game.
- Duke & Mana (Winery couple) – For autumn’s part time job. Another prerequisite to keep Cliff in game.
- Kai – The only season you may court him.
- Harvest Spirits (Flour) – Mainly if you intend to earn as much as you can this season through pineapple.
- Carter – To gain access to the back of church for autumn foraging.

Additional Notes
Summer should be the season for players to save money and work on their poultry and ranch animals. It is also advisable to purchase trees (2 orange tress) from Gotts. All of these will help in producing minimal income during your first winter, where crops are not a viable option. Start with chicken and angora rabbit first, and slowly breed until you have 8 of them. Be aware you need an upgraded poultry farm to start breeding angora rabbits.
On the other hand, buy a brush from Saibara, if you haven’t already. You will want to spend time brushing your pony (and talk to it!) on a daily basis. You can easily find your pony through the farm map, or enter the horse barn after 8:30 PM (it should be resting there).
Although it has been mentioned a few times, keeping Cliff, Doug and Mana’s friendship in check is also important. Or else you will lost Cliff forever (and cause poor Ran to be single forever, unless you are taking responsibility on this by marrying her).
The birthdays are off for Cliff and Basil, my in game calendar says Cliff’s birthday is on the 6th and the 11th is Basil’s birthday. My character’s birthday is in autumn so it shouldn’t affect anything in summer.
Thank you very much, we have fixed it in the guide!
You can plant Pineapple on Spring 30 instead of Summer 1. That means 3 harvests per season instead of 2.
It works on Steam version.
that’s actually a really good idea!
