NEW POST BELOW, AUTOMERGED WITH ONE ABOVE IT.

The battle has begun! Carrots and Strawberries are neck to neck! The suspense, the anticipation... where will this battle lead?! Nobody knows, not even WW!!

WW gardening has undergone MANY changes since gardening was introduced. In order to keep on top of the profitability of the plants, there needs to be ongoing tracking. I began tracking the profitability of the seeds November 2008. The thread will remain a work in progress, as the stats are forever changing!

=========================================================================

WEEKLY STAT UPDATE (Sat., May 16, 2009):
The Carrots keep their title this week. They, however, are no longer gloating as they are now saying they ALWAYS deserved to be top seed. The carrots are starting to annoy me with this sense of "entitlement". Regarding the strawberries, I reached my breaking point with them and couldn't take their whining/crying anymore. Good thing there aren't any WW Police because all strawberries have duct tape wrapped tightly around them and can no longer speak. The profit difference between the two at almost 4 months with 75 seeds is a whopping $145. If you've already got your strawberry plants, don't go digging them up because you think you'll be raking in the dough as the additional profit isn't worth it. On the other hand, if you haven't started yet or want to add more gardens with a higher profit, carrots are the way to go!

Once again, the loser crown goes to TOMATOES. Here's what the tomatoes have to say about their status: "We, the tomatoes, feel that there's more to gardening than money. Looks are very important and we make your gardens look prettier. We are also extremely healthy and increase the health by 6 points! So before you dismiss us as "loser", remember our benefits, tomatoes are the best!!!

LOL! thank you! so glad that you like it. Before you started posting, I often wondered if I wa the only one actually reading them.

[Kinz Krazed]

Ya know, the cabbages don't have much to say do they??

[RedBear]

Maybe they are just grateful to not be in last place.

yes, it is!! that would be nice. if you read the first several pages (after my initial question was addressed), you'd see LOTS of me chatting with myself. at one point, i even commented about how i was the only one reading the thread and that was okay bc i was helping myself.

[Kinz Krazed]

Well...as long as you were helped. I had a short conversation with myself yesterday on the vacation thread. Sometimes I swear I can hear crickets.
