The morning after...

I was seeing my garden page in my sleep, I swear. o.O

So what did everyone think?

I enjoyed growing the seeds into plants and gifting them, but I think they took too long to grow. It took between 2 to 4 hours for a plant to grow one stage, that means 6 to 12 hours to get a grown plant and you have to check in the garden at least once per stage, if not it could take even longer. People that have restricted access to the net or that actually have to work or study must have found it a bit frustrating, but then again it lasted a full week. I also wish we could have kept the gardens like we kept the snow forts.

Having said that, I absolutely loved being able to send messages within the game, I hope they add it as a BSA, and the flowers were really pretty. I think that I was a bit obsessed at the end. I gifted all the flowers in my garden, replanted it, and then kept refreshing trying to make the plants grow faster so I could send some more (no, it didn't work).

Overall a very interesting Valentine event.

I really enjoyed it! I missed finding seeds on my page when I got up this morning. (I kept planting mine obsessively right up until the last minute, even though I knew they'd never grow up in time to send out.) I liked being able to see who sent the cards, and include little messages (even though I rarely was able to think of anything clever to say). I was able to collect all the flowers, and help a lot of people get flowers they needed. I cleared out my garden at the end, sending all the remaining flowers to random people. I hope they were a nice last-minute surprise for some people!

I miss my garden and sending flowers, though I was slightly frustrated at how long it took for flowers to grow, specially at the end since I wanted to send all my flowers but one didn't grow before the event ended :(

Despite that it was fun and I managed to collect all the obtainably flowers, so I completed my goal~

I spent so much time on this garden I don't even know how the fully grown valentines dragons look... :(

Apart from the fact that the flowers took too long to grow I had a lot of fun. I like that we could see who sent it and custom messages and whatnot.
I think the flowers should have grown like we collected the snow - at reducted speed when you're not online, but still grow.

That would have been a great improvement. It would have been nice if the seeds had stopped dropping in the last 2-3 hours, as well; I didn't want to stop planting them, even though I knew they weren't going anywhere. (I had a dragon's breath at Stage 2 when the gardens went away...)
