A Farmer Has Good Timing...


Welcome, Farmers!

Another aspect of farming that we need to keep in mind is timing, and if you've ever accidentally planted raspberries right before you went to bed, then you already know that. (Raspberries are a 2 hour crop. in 2 hours they're ready, in 4 they are whithered) But in addition to how timing helps with when to plant what, it also helps with the gifting part of the game. (And if you ask me? gifting is the BEST part of the game!)

So, why is timing important for anything other than crops? Well, if you've ever sent a ton, and I do mean a ton, of gifts in one day, a message comes up that looks like this:





its the lamest thing in the world when you want to return the favor of people helping you out by sending you gifts. How to remedy this is to go on 2 to 3 times a day, at least 4 hours apart. thats approximately how long it takes for the gifting system to replenish. Also you need to try and accept only one gift per farmer, per 4 hours, because then it will just never allow you to receive it. Sometimes it will let you, but most times it will just take you straight back to your farm- not fun when you're trying to receive a gift.

It is important to remember, this timely manner also applies to "wishing" or "making your wishlist" this screen can be accessed by following these steps:
