Renting Herb Garden Plots

Just a thought -- you guys out there with private herb gardens could rent out your plots to players who don't want to wait in the community gardens for flowers. Charge whatever you want, then mail the flower when it's popped. I'd definitely pay 500c for such a service, being a lazy bum. :)

  • I guess if you mail the seeds to the garden owner and that person mails back the flowers that would work. But then you'd probably want to rent from somebody with herbalism II since that person would be doing all the planting and harvesting and without that skill they'd get fewer flowers grown. 

    What doesn't work is to visit a person's house to use their garden, you can't click on anything in somebody else's garden. 

    I would love it if at some point of house sharing with extra keys gets implemented, that includes being able to use the person's garden. That way a friend with a veggie garden and a friend with a herb garden could do a key exchange and use each other's gardens.

  • I would be happy to trade herb flowers and/or seeds for vegetables - which I can't grow in my garden.
    I also have fireflies in my house, so let me know if you need those, too.

  • @Zany if you need any vegetables just ask and I can send you some :)

  • Some great ideas all. Fireflies in your house how cool. Olive the idea of exchanging keys. That's even better than group homes. The best of everything.

  • Absent having someone else farm for you, it would be cool to have a powder that speeds herb growing (and, maybe, crop growing) the way Fertilidust does on trees. Doesn't have to be quite that dramatic, perhaps; even just a doublespeed buff would be very welcome. But I don't see myself moving out of Alakol anytime soon, even for a private herb garden, and the thing that's kept me from planting the herb seeds I've collected is that I'd be facing a good few hours in the community gardens waiting for them to grow.

  • I think it's good that you have to choose.  Herbs/barnies/etc. or veggies/trees.  Makes the game more interesting - we are forced to make choices and trade.

  • You mean I could have been fleecing my friends instead of growing their herbs for free? Huh. The thought never occurred to me.
