Most items in the game will now have a monetary value, and can be sold to the Merchant if you ever feel like some of your items are no longer useful.
In order to summon the Merchant, you will need to build a new village improvement - Trading post.
The Merchant's inventory is still very modest, but they do sell two notable items - flower seeds and a sickle, providing a way to consistently farm herbs for making potions.
Gardening in Gelatine has a bit of action sprinkled on top. Launch a handful of seeds in the air and make sure they don't land on your head - that hurts!
Seeds that land on grass will grow instantly - there's no downtime before harvesting your herbs. You can then use the sickle to efficiently harvest all plants.
P.S.: The number of accessory slots has been reduced from 7 to 5.

• I wasn't too sure about this change, but seven slots felt like way too much, considering that a lot of things that could have been an accessory are instead learned in the skill tree.
• Any accessories that may have been equipped in 6th and 7th slot will be automatically unequipped and placed in your inventory.
