The "Year 1 Savoy Spinach Challenge"
I took up this challenge to fulfill the Harvest Goddess' request since it was hinted by CeeCee that it was possible.
Here's what I found
tl;dr - You can only have 1 day of restored Spring no matter what. This is why you must plant your spinach so it will mature on the 30th of Spring exactly and have it restored.
_______________________________________________
Long version guide (spoilers for first spring)
Spr
1 Visit the spring and make a good path
3 Sam arrives, plant 10 pansies anywhere above river level
5 See Sally at the spring
6 Sally arrives
10 Iris and April arrives, pick 10 pansies
11 Blossom arrives
13 Meet Gil at spring, catch 10 fish
14 Dewey arrives, visit Moon Valley
15 Harvest Goddess returns, sow strawberry seeds on 10 levels above river level, use Rowan
16 Savoy Spinach request from Harvest Goddess, Brutus, Jimmy and Tony arrives
20 Doc arrives, place the barn and buy the kitchen (1000G, 20 wood)
21 Meet Naomi in Moon Valley, harvest strawberries
22 Hunter arrives, start caring for the cow every day
24 Calvin arrives, strawberry jam recipe
25-26 SAVE - PLANT A LOT OF SPINACH (5 days on level 2-7 above the river, one or two days longer other places. Save and reload here to time it right!)
29 Hannah and Emily arrives, buy sugar and make jam. Restore Spring
30 Final restored Spring, harvest 3 Savoy Spinach, season ends
________________________________________________
If you time everything right and reload a bit, you should be able to harvest 3 Savoy Spinach the first Spring!
If you have any further notes, please let me know.

Grah. I've done this twice now. >.< I planted 124 spinach, 4 on each possible plantable level, all turned harvestable on the 30th in real Spring, and not one is Savoy.
I saved the night before to try the reset thing, but still nothing.
I even harvested it all a few times to make sure it isn't just because it looks like regular spinach (which would be silly).
Did you actually manage to do this, Sting? Could you possibly post a picture of Savoy so we at least know what it looks like? =P
