New Release -- May 27th, 2011

"**************I would also be willing to PAY EXTRA COINS to buy special seeds that will FREEZE a harvest when it matures for 1 day so that I can plant 2-12 hour crops without worrying about losing them.******************************************"

I agree. At one time I expressed an interest in a reward system wherein tokens were provided allowing a one-time early harvest per token, in case I have to leave before harvesting a quick crop. Your thought mirrors that.

good idea i do see its merrits

however i find that farmtown is very realistic (well crop times arnt) but i guess if we had to wait 8 weeks for a crop to be ready we would give up playing but real farmers cant freeze there crops (unless its very cold where they live) so that would be unrealistic farmtown is about managing your crops only plant what you know you can harvest like dont plant rasberries if you know you will be going out directly after planting and wont be home till the morning

i personally hope they dont introduce a freeze crop option

I liked a suggestion a few days ago about being able to freeze crops with a limit of only three times a year to cover a break away from home. At the moment when I take a week long holiday in the REAL world, my virtual farm planted with four day crops doesn't quite make it through. I'm addicted enough to this game to be miserable about having to go away with my farms unplanted.

Yep, I do have a notebook computer, but I like to pretend that I'm not addicted to Farm Town when I'm on a trip

I actually would also rather have a selection of crops on either end of what we have now,that gave us a few more time options to use so that they fit in with our real world schedules. Perhaps some 6 hours ones and at least a couple of 5 day ones to cover a full real world week.
