Farm Town - Looking after flowers

So flowers have arrived in Farm Town - to see what else is new check out the post I made yesterday (literally seconds after they were added!)

So how do you look after Farm Town Flowers? Well it seems they might be very similar to the trees, I'm told that they never die, but i might test that out for myself... they can however wither, so to liven them up you need to water them. doing so will cost you one credit. However if a friend does it for you they will earn one credit! Check out the images below for more details.

A number of people say they can't see flowers in Farm Town. This is more than likely because you have the turned off in preferences. To sort this out go to Preferences (The spanner icon) and makes sure "Show Flowers" is ticked.

Ok so lets have a look at planting and watering, When you first plant a flower you'll see this sign:



Planting is really easy, you just select them in the store and stick them down, no need to plough! Here's what my first Tulips look like:



As you can see they take up much less space then vegetables. The raindrop sign above them tells you how much water the Farm Town flowers need - these ones having only just been planted don't need any watering, but let's have a look at what that looks like anyway:



The watering can is now in a yellow handyman type box icon along with the Farm Town bulldozer. To use you hover over the area you want to water and press your mouse button... and there's a nice animation to show you are watering. Remember this will cost you one credit in your own farm or earn you one credit in a friends farm!

While we're looking at the image take note - if they ever do add the ability to plough and sow large areas in Farm Town this is how it may well look: a large "cursor area" rather than the "drag selection" that some have suggested.

Happy farming!
