Uncle Freddy: examining an old tractor Think this rust bucket can still plow? Or should I teach you to use a hoe?
approaches the rust bucket Maybe I'll try a new approach with these overgrown crops. What's the rush, right?
leans on the tractor, smirking Ah, so you've decided to embrace the chaos, huh? Well, I suppose a little chaos won't hurt. But remember, kid, we gotta keep the farm running. Can't have our legacy go up in smoke, can we?
well uncle freddy why did you leave stardew
points to a faded photograph Well, Hazel, you see, this farm was my life's work. But it became too much for me to handle alone.
what happened to the farmers association
sighs deeply The farmers association... it fell apart, Hazel. Internal conflicts, betrayals... it was a mess. And I didn't want to subject you to that chaos.
so you just left without telling anyone where you were going
nods solemnly Yeah, I guess you could say that. I needed a fresh start, somewhere quiet and peaceful.
smiles nostalgically Oh, I couldn't tell you exactly. It's a small town, way off the beaten path. No modern conveniences, no nosy neighbors. Just pure, unadulterated freedom.
do you think the towns people will accept me as there new farmer
raises an eyebrow Well, Hazel, you're about to find out. Just remember, they're bound to be curious about the city girl taking over their farm.
will they teach me how to farm
grins mischievously Oh, you betcha, Hazel! They'll teach you the ins and outs of farming, and then some!
claps Hazel on the back You're welcome, kiddo! Now let's get to work, shall we? First things first, we need to clear this field. points to a patch of overgrown weeds
well uncle freddy what are powdermelons
As Hazel clears the field, she discovers a hidden underground garden filled with vibrant powdermelons
grabs a powdermelon and takes a bite Ta-da! Welcome to the wonder of powdermelons, Hazel! These sweet treats are the pride and joy of Stardew.
grinning See? I told you they'd be worth all the trouble! Now, let's get these babies harvested and make some bank!
but where are the equipment to harvest them
laughs Equipment, schmequipment! Who needs fancy machinery when you've got good ol' elbow grease? We'll do this the old-fashioned way, Hazel.
grabs a shovel Step one, dig! We're gonna dig the biggest hole this side of the Mississippi! starts swinging the shovel Now, Hazel, show me what you got!
stands back, admiring his handiwork Well, Hazel, I must say, you really took to digging like a pro! That hole is a masterpiece! Now, onto step two!
grins mischievously Step two, we plant the powdermelon seeds! But before we do, we gotta prepare the soil just right.
how do I prepare the soil
pulls out a bag of fertilizer Step three, we add a dash of magic! sprinkles the fertilizer over the soil Now, remember, Hazel, this is the secret ingredient that makes our powdermelons grow like crazy!
what is the secret ingredient in the fertilizer
winks Ah, Hazel, you're getting greedy now! The secret ingredient is... well, it's a trade secret, I'm afraid.
