#### Am I going mad whilst gardening?

I garden, tend, harvest, plant a lot in this game. As normal by this time of night/morning 12.45am I'm pretty tired but for the first time just now I noticed the speech bubble popping up after every single action. I just can honestly say that I've never noticed before the persistant 'speech' bubble after every tend and watering? I found it quite distracting from my happy (tired) daze to keep reading 'wetted, I'm wet, splosh, that was scratchy, I'm clean' 60 odd times.
It seems like a waste of graphics/flash memory whatever to speak aloud the action that the animation is already showing and that you selected.
Does anyone else find it unecessary? Have the speech bubbles always been there THAT much when gardening? Am I indeed going MAD... *crawls into the kitchen for more caffeine....*

- Honestly, I've never noticed! I'm thinking I'll notice it from now on though :)

- Sorry Minkey...lol and it's true Ms Sparklz! They really don't shut up ever! Think I'll be taking a break from the gardening for a little. I'm finding it quite off putting atm.

- Well, I tested it out and sure enough, you are right. They blabbed at me and called me the hoemeister! that one was funny, made me laugh. the jellisac still does not speak to me which I think I prefer.

- Too much blabbing from the garden. No peace and quiet anywhere in Glitch now!

- So I'm not the only one! I knew the soil occasionally talked, but I didn't remember them talking that much... Happened after that street-change bug fix, I think. Glad I'm not going crazy.

- I think the plots should talk if they give you a super harvest or an item, if at all. I don't mind the trees or even a rock talking to me, but for some reason sentient dirt is just too creepy.

- I love it. Just like all the other talking resources: trees, rocks, animals, dirt piles, peat bogs, barnacles, etc. It was sad that the garden plots lost out.
  Mmmmm. Electrolytes.

- It's a recent change. You may also be going mad, but not for this reason.

- Not EVERYTHING needs to talk to me, especially those!

- We need a upgrade card that shuts the garden plots up. :)

- The plot should only speak RARELY, it gets annoying to hear it say something everytime. D:

- I like the talking things too but when you're working on an extremely large number of plots consecutively it does become irritating and distracting. I much prefer seeing the pleasant backgrounds that have been selected whilst I watch the watering can do it's job, or the hoe : ) Gardening does take up a lot of my game play because I find it the most relaxing aspect of glitch.

- Don't know if it's happening for anyone else but since they added the talking to the garden plots, gardening seems to be smoother and tons faster...almost like it's on speed - so talk away little speedy seedy plots!! lol

- From where I was standing when it first happened, the speech bubbles looked like I was saying "I'm all wet" etc., which made me wonder about my Glitchien motor neuron control....

- @DustyHat - I find opposite. The more my screen gets cluttered by animation/speech bubbles the laggier I go :? It wouldn't bother me so much if i didn't garden to the extent that I do. We're talking 4 speach bubbles I think for every plot I work on. That's a lot of screen clog and congestion.
