I don't mean to complain. I just have a question or two regarding the tree planting Quests. During this last test I completed the quest to plant 5 trees and raise them until they were full grown. I completed this but, here is my question:
I had to poison my 3 trees. I hate that but did it. I poisoned two to start with and left. When I came back, one tree was dead and I cleared it and planted a new one. The second tree, however had died, been cleared and replanted. As I approached it, it said something like this, "I don't know who planted me." So, who did plant it? I don't mind but would like to know. Because of this I had to poison 6 trees instead of 5. I am a tiny bit ticked about that.
Another question: One of the new trees I planted was a Wood tree. It never matured despite the liberal use of fertilizer (the full thing, not the lite). After hours of tending the new trees , the Wood tree never progressed and never was counted toward the 5 so I have to poison a 7th tree in order to fulfill the quest. Why don't the Wood trees grow up? It got as high as two tiers and had 3 branches (planks) but never went further.
I finished the quest, got the badge and was glad to be done with that. Then I completed another skill (Gardening IV, I think) and was given a new quest to plant and raise 3 trees. Huh? I already had to kill and clear 7 trees and plant new ones and now I have to do it 3 more times, why? OK, it seems to me that the difference may be that the new quest specified that I season the beans. I already did that the first time although I don't think that was required then.
Do you know how hard this work is when you have 4, pigs, 3 chickens and 3 butterflies under foot/over head? Plus the horrible experience of killing trees who never did me any harm and see me as their friend? "Oh give me a home where the pigs do not roam and the trees are happy all day!" Thanks!
