I'm in early fall and about 25 hours in so far. I must say though I'm impressed with how well balanced all the different gameplay elements are in this version, particularly when compared with the original DS game.
My current money making strategy is growing a whole bunch of cabbage plots in Whale Island since they seem to have a better gold/day ratio than anything I've come across so far, even though you have to replant them each time. I do a little bit of fishing to cook myself some healing items.
"Tomorrow" my minions will start watering and mowing the grass for me. I suppose I should leave half my field un-tilled so that the rest of the monsters can do some work too, especially since I only use about a third of my regular field, but I can't stand leaving it untidy like that.
