    Hi all!

    The Life's A Picnic Event starts TOMORROW and this thread is for those who need a helping hand from fellow farmers to finish or achieve personal goals during this event.

    Below is a link to the Guidelines for using this thread (strategy thread(s) will be added if they are created:

    Guidelines for using the SOS event item thread

    Life's A Picnic Strategy Thread

    The (very rough) estimated daily/24 hour period requirement is:

    170 Picnic Baskets

    Always remember to save your gifts till after the event starts so you can start to send event items straight away!

    If you need anything else for the event, ask for it here.

    Please note:

    My main farm (Illy1996) usually manages to get all drops. If I do need help, I will post here, My second farm, Chevrefeuille should be okay too and if I need help, I will post here.

    So If you receive gifts from either of my farms, please do not send gifts to either of them.

    If you want to return the favour, send to someone else asking for help.

    Good Luck everybody!

    PS: Excuse me Mods but I need to raise my voice:

    PLEASE LET US KNOW HOW YOU GET ON WHEN THE EVENT ENDS.

    I have only one more day to complete event (due to RL) I will have all of the junk grown by tomorrow but at this point I need 400 more picnic baskets - I maybe alright but a little help wouldn't hurt. :inlove: Thank you - thank you - thank you :inlove:

    Update: 325 left to go - last batch of chives growing - I grew too many basil (I like the color too much) trying refined roses on comfort fields with WI/FC/SG/poo and water - darn I don't have the good refinements and then I nuked a whole field of almost grown roses in 1x1's :mad: such is life - live and learn - I'll put in long crops and try to log in tomorrow night.
    But there is still all day today. :)
    At least I got all the PF.:music:

    Update: Even though it takes just under 3 hours to grow my barely refined roses on comfort fields with all the amendments - their drop rate is close to 99% - so that is a good thing - thanks for the help so far - only 127 more baskets :) three fields of the comfort roses and gifting for the day hasn't begun!!!

    It's a 'piece of carrot' if I may quote someone....

    Still waiting on those roses - 86 more baskets and I'm done - also husband says we are leaving later than I thought so - more time to harvest. :D

    One more field to go and only 16 more baskets!!!!!

    DONE!!!!!! o_Oo_OxDo_Oo_O DONE!!!!!

    Thank you everyone!!!!!

    All crops grown and safely stored in the barn. But drops are really scarce.

    I don't know if I can make it without help.
    At the moment there are 118 drops left. And thats without task 1 gold and diamond.

    Is there anybody out there with a helping hand?

    Very much appreciated!!!
    Auntie EDIT says: Sorry for panicking. I thought the event is on until tomorrow morning, but it is a day longer.


    Autnie EDIT says too: I am fine, no drops needed. Skip task 1 gold and diamond and I am fine.!!

    So please don't send any baskets to me any more. I need 110 (got drops even from oat plantings) still but that should be doable.
    Please send the baskets to others who need them.

    Thanks so much for all your support!!
    Good luck to all of you

    Any help would be appreciated. A kind neighbor sent me CAC so I was able to get all the crops done and have gotten my trophy up to 9% but still need some picnic baskets. Right now I am faced with having to pick the last EP giver and miss the power feed and cloud row or get the row and not fill it. It will be close but with a bit of help, I think I can finish. This leaves out gold and diamond steps on level 1.

    Thank you to anyone that is able to help:)

    Thank you all for the help you have given me. I am still 300 short:cry: and that doesn't count the sticker. I have all the crops but the drops are still not in my favor. If anybody can help I would appreciate it. :) BasicBasil

    Thank you so much to everyone who sent a picnic basket! I just harvested and had enough with your help to get both the cloud row and the final giver to put on it. I could not have done it without the generosity of the farmers in the forum. :)

    I am sorry to read, that you couldn't get the last two givers.
    I found the drop rates quite strange and scarce.
    Hope you can get the givers at the next G&T.

    Don't give up. Hopefully the next event you will be able to finish ;)

    Happy Farming
