Hi Maryanne!
That's why I don't do quests or challenges any more, it takes the fun out of the game. I just want to relax, help gardens to get critters spotted, exchange a few words here and there.
Hope your day is good; cold with rain and wind here :((

If I had sprinkled before typing the below I would have spotted it lol

You need to buy the bamboo pot and then buy bamboo to go in it. If you find a giant panda you will get double organic bamboo as food but make sure you have an empty table out. Easiest way to get bamboo food is visiting a garden that has bamboo out and  is attracting a black and white critter like raccoon, skunk  etc. If you remind me next week I will put some out for you. You can attract giant panda , red panda and gorilla to bamboo. red and gorilla need a couple of plants out

Everything is in the gifts and free for yourself nowadays. Due to FB changing things  a lot were not able to gift/receive so Mike has made it you can go and get one foryourself.

Is not "just" frustrating, it doesn not make any sense any more. Feeding times are out of control, critters don't visit even when the set up is correct. I was only playing for fun because the graphic is beautiful but it has become, as you said, frustrating! :((
Open again for a while, trying to plant some candies but keeping it easy. Good night Maryanne :))

We have a wee breeze. Perfect for washing out. The slower it thaws the better for the roads and river to stop flooding. I have only a little snow left on top of the wild flowers and the rest is clear. The grass was flooded yesterday but has drained away

We have rain rain and more rain now. Snow almost gone from garden but grass is already flooding. Streets are like a bottle as weren't cleared right but hopefully will melt soon. 2nd year running for the river 

Thanks for spotting the efm

I was repeating the easy quest a few times but bored now. Putting out critters for the sunlight /amber seeds next I think. We all have wasted so much on the shrooms lol

ahh yes you must have put the calendar in storage, yes, if you want to change the colours just take it out, save and put back into storage
