OK Tina--I now have my "new" outdoor yard---I will only garden there I guess. so if you could help me with some seed that would be great---what do yo recommend I plant. Is one more profitable to grow than the other??

Carol, I just sent you some seeds from bestofour. Evidentially we haven't exchanged names for Darbi's (toodta), Colby's (colbysfarm), Ally's (DarbiAubry8), or Tori's (tute8) account. I'll send you a request so accept me and I'll send more seeds.

Gardening for profit used to be strawberries made the most income. But they changed how much they bought them for in the W-shop. So I did my own study and kept track for a month. Watermelons and pumpkins took the prize for income. I also like them best for seeing the weeds easily and not growing so tall as to interfere working with the plants just behind them. I will send you some of each.

Yes the already veggies are just for show. You can't harvest them. They never change. And now Carol, again. You never have to water. Dragging that watering can all over makes gardening get old very fast. You will suffer major burnout. The plants don't grow faster. They don't get any less weedy.

I wondered why I couldn't "do" anything to them. is there a trick to weeding??? or will they magically disapear when I take a rake to them??? Gee Cindy, I do not feel so silly now. thanks.

They will magically disappear when you click a rake on them. You will get to recognize the weedy patches. But you can use the tape measure inspect tool and it will tell you to weed or water (don't) or harvest. If you miss weeds or harvesting for a couple of days the patch turns brown. You need to take the shovel (Dig)tool to it and it will restart. Those seeds are expensive but they will grow forever. And you can move each square around within the yard at any time without changing anything. But if you remove it to your dock it becomes a packet of seeds again.

In a month or so it will snow in ww. You will wake up one day and all of your outdoor rooms will be covered in snow. You can keep on gardening and harvesting right through it all.

The pools must be heated, the pets can continue to swim. The snow only covers the grassy areas. So your dirt patch around your pumpkins will still be bare dirt. And outdoor furniture doesn't pile up with snow. But it looks cold.

I assume the webkinz site will ask me if I want to buy a heating device for my pool??? I have planted all my seeds, and i am repeatedly told my garden is ok and does not need weeded.--it does say some parts need watered. I have watered some. how can I get by with not watering if I am directed to do so???

Ignore the watering. You do not need to do it. You can if you want but it gets old fast. You start wishing for a sprinkler very soon.
