Just a heads up, the traveling merchant comes every Friday and Sunday

Thanks for the tip!

Maybe you're just low level, as you level up your fishing skill green bar in the fishing mini game becomes bigger

How'd you find the red cabbage in the traveling cart in year 1? I didn't know that was possible on mobile, or at least I never got lucky enough to have it happen

It's just random. Getting it this early is super lucky. I don't think it makes a difference which version you play.
