Playing the switch version, about 8 in game days in, doing some crops but not sure what else I should be doing, mainly interacting with other characters. What advice can you give me?

I don't really min/max profit too much when I play, so I might not be the best person to ask, but I'll try to give you some things to consider!

For year 1 (not year 2) Spring, I've seen a lot of people suggest either parsnips or potatoes. Parsnips get you farming XP faster--plus you get gold star turnips for the community center--but potatoes are higher profit per plant, so you won't have as many energy issues trying to water everything. Also, you might want to save up some money for the Egg Festival....

Btw, fishing can be a good source of fast cash, if you don't mind the fishing mechanic.
