The fun of plant-watering - what makes you smile?

I love searching for trees. But clicking them when they are in the upper left corner behind the banner is trouble!

I like hunting for needy trees. Don't always find one when the sign is up, and I leave the challenge for more capable farmers.

since this is a watering thread, I was wondering about something and hope it is ok to ask here. I water one plant at a time. If there are a lot, it takes a bit. But I have been in the process and suddenly all of the remaining trees are watered at once by someone else. Is there a way to do mass watering?

Just tap faster;). There is no other way. I love the hunt for that one tree that needs watering in the forest.

I already mentioned that I love hunting around for well-hidden trees and bushes on other farms, and I find it so satisfying when you spot the top of a tree jumping up and down.

Then there's people watering your trees when you haven't quite finished clearing or flagging them yet. If it's someone who habitually helps me out, I'm shouting "Wait! There'll be more in a second!" at the phone. But if it's that s0d who only ever flags sugar and dairy boats (not a forum user I might add) I'm going "Ha! You could have had so many more... mwa ha ha ha ha ha..."

You made me smile on a wet Thursday morning! I also like the hunt, tho, like Jude, I try to make it as easy for others as possible. What I am finding frustrating is the bug that puts up an alert flag on the farm, even though there is nothing to water or no boat to fill. That one is killing me, because I am driven to search every square inch two or three times before I will give in and accept it's the bug at work again. Such a waste of valuable time!

. It just looks like they are watering them all at once. There's a lot that I have figured out having two people in the house playing side by side. My daughter will go to my farm and wait till I flag my trees, but they don't show up for her untill she refreshes. Even then they don't always show till she refreshes again. Then when she has watered them all, to me they look like they still need watering. Then all of a sudden whoosh, the avatar shows up. Also even though she taps on the tree and gets the stars flying, I may see her avatar and someone else's. Not sure who gets the credit but I suspect it is both.

. I've seen this bug too, but I have discovered that if there isn't anything to do, the flag will be gone from either the main avatar at the top of the screen or from the help needed tab. Sometimes the same farm pops up several times. A quick refresh will make it disappear if it indeed has nothing needing help. But as noted above, sometimes the refresh is needed to make the tree or boat crate show up. Try that before losing your mind looking for something that isn't available.

I've got one particular friend that this happens a lot with - I don't know if it's the way she closes the game or something.

She'll appear on the help tab, then I'll open her farm and there's no help flag against her icon. So I'll go back to the help tab and she'll have gone, but I'll go to someone else's farm and come back, and she's reappeared again. I posted about it on the Problem reporting thread, and someone said it was a known bug that's often caused if people leave the game mid-something-or-other, I forget what. But it's a shame because I've started to ignore her help requests now and some might be genuine.
