Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Nicola H]

Thanks for your gifts Sarah and Snowy, I have used up all mine for today so will send you lots of trees tomorrow............

[Cate in NZ]

Has anyone else been sad enough to check out which trees earn most when they're harvested?

I've worked out apple = $58, pear = $68, banana = $69, orange = $74, mango =$77, peach = $82, cherry = $84 and plum = $86

 

I haven't yet harvested a coconut tree so don't know what that's worth.

 

I really shouldn't be here, only logged on really briefly to check my PMs, so no time at all to play farmers just yet today, but I'll send you all out some trees later today

[Nicola H]

Don't worry Cate i am as sad as you I have worked out how much you get for the crops.......

 

Strawberrys £98.

Tomatoes £201.

Rice £129.

Wheat £200.

 

I have been growing lots of tomatoes as they only take a day to grow and they make the most profit............Happy farming everyone....

i'm building an avenue of fruit trees (bit like a row of limes)

Hi all.

A big thankyou for all my farm gifts. I have to admit I have ploughed and I am giving the ground a rest at the mo due to severe lack of time being the silly season and all. Just checking in to pick the fruit every now and then.

Taken a leaf out of pengys book and getting my daughter to do the harvesting for me

I have got a chicken coop now but still no sign of eggs.

[Looney]

Woohoo! I've finally managed to get my farm to let me on again.... well, I had to start a new farm but fingers crossed it will still let me in tomorrow

 

Fruit trees for me too please if people don't mind awfully.....

 

Love the little chickens! At last i can have more than two hens! (OK, so they're not real but I can pretend! )

[Cinnamon]

Thanks for the trees everyone

My orchards are coming along beautifully.

I love checking out everyone elses farms too, to see how & what you have planted!

[Snowy]

Everyone else's farms look so organised and tidy! Mine is totally higgledy piggledy!

i got some chickens to sit on the roof of my coop

[lisa33]

I'm still trying to afford a coop.

all this virtual farming (and the myriad other virtual computer games you can play) reminds me of a Phillip K Dick novel I read "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch".

 

Basically, the earth has become too hot (global warming) and overcrowded so the human race has colonised Mars. Mars is very barren and "Ooops, word censored!"ody wants to go there so to try and make the colonists lives easier, they're given a drug called Kan-dee (sp?) and in their drugged condition they play a virtual game with a doll called 'Perky Pat' and they can buy accessories etc for Perky Pat and live vicariously through the doll.

 

I think the book was written in the 1960s, did we even know about global warming then?! Prophetic or what!

[missuscluck]

I have officialy handed my farm over to Katie for the Christmas hols. I think we are running out of space thanks to all your gifts. Ill have to get her to suss out how to get an extension!

[Cinnamon]

You can get a bigger farm - Mark posted a link to it earlier on in this thread

[Cinnamon]

Has everyone seen the new Christmas tree - I think I have sent one to all of you

 

Apparantly the harvest value is $220, & the cut value a whopping $660, so its worth aquiring a few if you can

It looks so pretty too

[Nicola H]

Oh wow thanks Sarah........I have recieved 3 already and have sent out my full quota for the day........I love them and am decorating the outside of my "love Shack" with them.....
