Getting Started

Want to spruce up the lawn of your estate?  Try gardening.  Any toon can get started quickly.  Just buy a gardening kit from the Cattlelog for a mere 50 beans.  The kit will arrive in just a few seconds.

Once you have your gardening kit, you'll note some new features on the estate.

Flower boxes appear around your house.  There are enough for ten flowers.  Two single flower buckets out front, two large flower boxes along the sides that can hold three each and one flower box in the back that can hold two flowers.

Eight small mounds will be found around the vicinity of your house.  Here you can plant trees.
A statue base for erecting a gardening statue.
And the wheelbarrow in the sandy area of your estate.

You will also see a new page in your Shticker book with four sections. 

The Basket tab shows any flowers you have picked and their values (similar to the fishing bucket).  It also shows your current shovel and watering skill level.

The Album tab shows all the flowers you have successfully planted and picked.  The question marks indicates flowers you have not discovered yet.

The Trophies tab shows all the gardening trophies you have earned.

The Specials tab shows any statues you have purchased and haven't placed yet.

Planting Flowers

First you must have some beans.  It doesn't matter if they are in your pouch or the bank.  The flower costs as many beans as it takes to plant it.

To plant a flower simply walk up to one of the small mounds in your flower box.  A menu will appear in the upper left corner.

Click the Plant Flower button and another window will appear asking what jellybeans to use. 

Only certain jellybean combinations will produce a flower!  At first, you can only choose one bean, but as you advance the number of beans needed grows.  You are free to figure out the combinations on your own or visit our "spoiler page".  Warning: Doing it on own your own will soon get very tedious and expensive once you get up to 5 to 8 bean combinations.

Choose a bean combination. The Cancel button closes the window.  The Reset button clears combination you entered. The Plant button makes your toon attempt to plant a flower with the combination chosen.  If the combination is good, the toon will get a shovel and start digging.  A tiny thirsty unbloomed plant appears.

If the combination was bad, you'll get a message saying it didn't produce a flower.  The beans you used will be gone.  So if you failed to produce a flower, you'll never get those beans back.

The menu in the top left of your screen now changes.  You can Remove the flower or Water it.  Removing the flower will get rid of the flower and you receive no skill points.  You will be free to plant another flower there. A watered flower will bloom the next day.

Only the owner can plant flowers around his own house.  Other toons living on the estate can only plant flowers around their own house.

Planting Trees

Before you plant a tree, you must understand what trees do.  Trees are used to produce organic gags.  They grow on the tree like fruit.  These provide a +10% increase in damage rounding down or +1 at the least. For lure gags, it increases their accuracy.  You can tell when you have organic gags when on your gag menu the number of gags you have is in bold white.  The gag the tree produces is the gag you used to plant it.  You don't actually have to pick the gags off the tree to get the organic bonus.  You can still buy your gags at the gag shop and receive the bonus.  But if you do pick the gags, they will be for free.  You can pick gags off your trees once a day.  Picking gags off the tree is more useful for a level 7 gag tree. This means you can use a level 7 gag at least once a day if you want without the wait!  If your gag bag is full, you will be unable to pick gags off the tree.

Damage bonuses

All bonuses if gag skill is maxed.

An organic trap door will destroy a level 7 cog.
An organic creme pie will destroy a level 5 cog.
An organic birthday cake will destroy a lured level 11 cog with lure damage bonus.
An organic wedding cake will destroy an unlured level 10 cog or a lured level 11 cog with lure damage bonus.
An organic toontanic will destroy a row of unlured level 11 cogs.
An organic train will destroy a row of level 12 cogs.

To plant a tree you must do a little preparation. You need the gag on you to plant the tree.  Also to plant the higher level gag tree, you must plant the preceding lower level gags first.  So if you want that level 7 drop "Toontanic" tree, you'll need to plant all the preceding drop gags in order first.  In essence, this limits you to only one level 7 gag tree since there are only 8 tree spots.  For young toons, you can plant all your gags but as you gain more gag skill you'll need to decide which gag track will be your organic gag track.

Once you've decided which gags to use, just walk up to one of the tree mounds.  A menu will appear in the upper left corner.

Click the Plant Tree button.  This will bring up your gag menu. 

Only the gags you can plant will be highlighted.  Click one and your toon will start shoveling.  A tiny thirsty sapling appears.  The gag you used will vanish.  A sign by the tree reminds you what gag this tree will produce.

A tree will take (3 x the level of the gag you used to plant) days to grow and bear fruit.  So a level 1 cupcake tree takes 3 days to grow while a level 7 wedding cake tree takes 21 days to grow.  You receive your organic bonus the day before the tree matures.

Only the owner can plant trees around his own house.  Other toons living on the estate can only plant trees around their own house.  You can tell whose trees are whose by the color of the sign by the tree.  It will be the color of the toon's house.

Watering

All flowers and trees need to be watered to continue to live and grow.

Once you planted a tree or flower, you'll see the dirt around the flower is a sandy color.  This means it will wilt the next gardening day if you don't water it.  The next gardening day begins Midnight Pacific time or 3 AM Eastern time no matter what time the flower or tree was planted. A wilted flower isn't a big deal, though.  Simply water it and it immediately springs to life!  A wilted tree is a bigger deal.  You will lose your organic bonus for the gag it produces and any of the higher level gags you have planted as well.  It will take a couple days for you to regain your bonus.

You are allowed to water ALL of the plants on your estate and anybody else's estate!

Picking Flowers

Once your flowers bloom the next day they are ready to be harvested.  Approach each flower and select Pick from the menu in the upper left.

Each time you pick a flower of the highest combination you can plant, you gain 1 shovel skill point.  As you gain more shovel points, you will be able to plant the next level of flowers, erect a statue, and a prettier shovel.  Unfortunately, you can only pick your own flowers so you can only gain 10 shovel point a day.

Plant Statues

Once you are able to plant higher combination flowers (at 2, 4, 6, and 8 bean combos), you can plant statues. Statues are there to look pretty and show the tooniverse your gardening prowess.  There are four statues which you will see in your cattlelog.  If you see the "Skill too low" message, you can't buy the statue yet.  Once you buy one, Clarabelle will tell you what bean combination you need to plant the statue.

Two bean combo - Donald Statue 125 beans (2 green jellybeans to plant)
Four bean combo - Mickey Statue 250 beans (4 silver jellybeans to plant)
Six bean combo - Minnie Fountain 500 beans (6 violet jellybeans to plant)
Eight bean combo - Mickey Fountain 1000 beans (8 orange jellybeans to plant)

Happy Gardening!
