ok...another weedy gardens but can we get an official announcement out to newbies please?

I take it with a pinch of salt when it happens occasionally but for the 4th time in a row I've logged in I've had weedy gardens both herb and crop.  I've resorted to placing a signpost in front of each plot now and listing names so that if I get duplicate visitors I can try to narrow down the offenders.

I've given up on the herb route again too as with the butler situation now it's no fun or relaxation time for me to spend hours clearing up after messy glitchen.  I'm fully aware that some aspects of the game don't seem obvious to everyone but could we please get an official post from TS or even a new quest bringing home the suggestion that tending plots you've harvested does bring reward (and also showing that actually doing so is pretty darned civilised and respectful to the player who has put out the gardens to share).

(yes I know I get img for clearing up the mess, but it's IMG I don't need and atm it means I'm throwing currants away each time I replant).

  • i use the herb route sometimes but i ALWAYS hoe/replant and water! I do find it annoying when you move to the next and have seen all plots left weedy, It isnt fair when others clean up but no way to enforce it and its probably a lot of new players doing it too.they dont get much energy but they seem to have enough to harvest them tho :/

  • I always hoed, watered and replanted when I was a young Glitch, so I don't want to hear about it.

  • The way I see it, I paid img to put herb plots outside for others to use. I joined the yellow crumb route when YC was a huge hit, and decided to stay on it when they fixed the crumb's worth, even though I don't earn as much daily img from it now. I figured people would still need it for potions and whatnot. When I log in and I see my plots messed up, I don't always fix them. I'll be honest, most of the time, I just leave it for others to fix. That's the negative of using the YC Road. When I visited that road daily, I did more than my share of weeding and reseeding messed up plots. I leave it to the others now. I don't even have YC seeds on hand anymore.

    I leave my personal plots in my back yard. 

    Personally, I don't get upset over messed up plots anymore. I just let them be. I used to worry over them, but it's not worth it. Washed my hands of that mess awhile ago! If it's really annoying, take the plots away!!

  • Sounds like things are good as-is. People who want something to complain about can put veggie or herb gardens in their front yard and people who want to harvest for free can use them. Everyone is happy!

  • Mysterious Hermit: If you have ended up on stoot's street, then it's probably a bug, because stoot himself said he shouldn't be on it (right after it was released) because he gets plenty of traffic as-is. Unless of course he changed his mind and added himself to it.

    Here's the quote:
    "dm: was that right after the first one was placed? Or a bit later? If you get me, it's definitely a bug (I already get way too many visitors)." -stoot

  • +1 Zany. i feel exactly the same way. 
    i am on the herb route and every day the plots look different. sometimes i tend to them, sometimes i leave them be. sometimes they are completely empty and weedy, sometimes they are full of herbs and people have even left extra herbs or seeds with my butler.
    it all comes full circle and evens out in the end.

  • They changed the stones a couple times.  At this point they can take you to anyone who is signed up, with preference towards low-visitor streets.

    There will always be conflict about the community gardens. If everyone is replanting, there are more herbs and crops for everyone, but short-sighted players don't realize it.
