Hey, so I bought the game in June 2014 for my birthday and I'm a bit confused. I've really been into it and I'm in early Fall Year 1. I accidentally said 'No.' to the sickle upgrade. Can I get the chance to upgrade my sickle again later?

So, I eventually got the choice to upgrade my hoe. Naturally, I chose "Yes." But I forgot the timer. I checked back the next day after 24 hours had passed. There was no hoe even after I completed Spring. This time, I put on the timer and waited another day. There was no hoe even after I completed summer. So, I'm now on Fall Year 1 and I'm on my third chance to retrieve my hoe. I have the timer on. What am I doing wrong?

I'm worried, because without the hoe I won't make it to the tilled soil requirement at the end of the year. And if I don't have the hoe in Year 2, assuming the soil reverts, I won't be able to grow crops. What should I do? I'm really worried.

Yes, I read the thread about the golden sickle/super sickle, but I wanted to make sure *I* wasn't doing something wrong in *my* game file.

Just in case, here are my stats:

Farmer: Meg :heart: ; Female
Fall Year 1
Pet: Dog
Horse: Fully grown with saddle bag
crops: eggplants
House: fully upgraded
Number of chickens: 4; all fully grown
Number of Cows: 1; medium size
Sickle upgrade: No ; lost the chance
Hoe upgrade: Yes; in the process of; stuck
Field cleared of all debris: Yes
Grass: Yes
Sprinkler: yes
Milker/brush/cow medicine/miracle potion: yes
Golden Axe: Yes
Super Hammer: Yes

Please help! I don't know what to do! I read the walkthrough on the site and even that doesn't help.
