Has anyone discovered what I did about over planting? I have planted up to 100 flowers (crown of thorns for 1 xp for 25 coins) in the SAME SPOT. you leave the mouse in the same place and it will plant another one as you left click. You have to make sure that the avatar is not glowing and wait as the points come up. Once you get used to it – it is ok. ONLY DOWNSIDE: If you want to move or delete the flower? You can only do ONE at a time, then you have to refresh the page to move or delete the next one. If you have planted a lot and decide to move them all – it’s a pain. UPSIDE: When you water them – you get all the points for how many every you planted – and it only shows up as ONE flower, in ONE spot.

@Naomi
I sure am. I add both the plowing and seed costs together to form an overall cost for each crop.

Are you figuring the cost of plowing a field when calculating profit? For example:
Raspberry costs $15 and is sold for $47, for a profit of $32. But when you figure in the $20 cost of plowing, that’s just $12 profit. Of course, they’re still big yielders if you plant as many times per day as possible, but this might be something to consider.

I wish you could mass buy hay bales. Like hedges and paths. Currently you can only buy one at a time. Sure take a while if you want to buy 1000+ of them.

@Travis:
Absolutely! I updated my findings in my tips and tricks part 4 after the release of the grapes. One thing also that I failed to point out is that strawberries were best used (prior to grapes) when a person was unable to plant their entire farm with them due to financial constraints. Once money is not an object, potatoes become more profitable. Although they have a higher initial cost, their profit is also higher per field. As mentioned, strawberries were better because they could allow you to plant more individual fields than could be achieved with potatoes if you had limited cash resources. But all that is useless now. Grapes are the way to go if you can handle the tedious planting and re-planting.

Grapes are way more profitable than strawberries. You get a 27 coin profit with every field, and you can plant 3 to 4 times per day because they’re done in 4 hours. That’s 108 per field every day as opposed to 35 for strawberries. Not only that, but the experience is nuts.
