Strawberry is a multi-harvest fruit crop that produces one strawberry per harvest with a slight probability of more. This crop can only be acquired during the Egg Festival on Spring 13, thus it's a good plan for players to earn as much money as possible in order to buy as many packets of Strawberry Seeds as possible. Keep some for use with the Seed Maker so that there are some on hand when Spring arrives. Plant them on the first day of Spring, and players will be able to reap more harvests throughout the season. A advice for planting on the day of the Egg Festival is to till the ground, apply any available fertilizer, and irrigate the area before the festival begins.
