We’ve made some temporary changes to the way gardening items work with the NEW Webkinz!
In an effort to make gardening available to everyone at the launch of the NEW Webkinz, you may have noticed that your plants aren’t behaving in exactly the same way. We wanted to make sure that all gardening items could still be harvested, although there is still some outstanding functionality that we are working on.
Here are the current temporary changes to gardening items:
- Gardening items do not require any maintenance (no watering or raking)
- Plants ready for harvest will not die (they will remain ready to harvest)
- All gardening plants will only yield 1 food item per harvest
All gardening items will still grow at the same rate and you will be able to check on their progress each day.
Stay tuned to Webkinz Newz when we will announce the return of full gardening functionality!
I like this update, but if I could make a request: Could we PLEASE get rid of the little pop-up telling us what we harvested? Or maybe a “harvest all” button?
Yes, I would be okay with a sprinkler for watering and only needing to rake, plus a harvest all that are ready button!
Yeah, I really didn’t have the time for gardening before Webkinz X, if rake and all come back I REALLY won’t have time with all the other changes. I like the sprinkler idea!
Thank you for the quick fix, even if it’s not full functionality. In fact, I may get spoiled not having to provide my plants with care, and still getting food items.
I think it should stay the same, honestly, because it’s more interactive and can teach younger kids ‘responsibility’(?) for taking care of things like plants.
I hope gardening will soon be available on the mobile app!
Takes the fun out of gardening. People who work hard get less but some challenges require watering plants right? Lazy people do get bonuses because if they plant 5 every day of the week they get 5 a day and 35 a week but I prefer harvesting three times a week do as much as you need. Berry field farmers are really lucky.
I hope it stays this way also , I have 12 accounts to look after and with the new changes it takes to much time to do everything. not sure about the changes. will wait until all the bugs are addressed….
I don’t like this new way of gardening. Even though I don’t have to rake my plants anymore, I get much less produce out of it, so it’s hardly worth it. I’m glad these changes seem to be temporary.
Can’t water, can’t weed, only get one harvest per plant . . . I want my garden back! :-((( With these changes what is the point of having one?
I o agree with you.. That is most of the fun. you are getting away from, the teaching the children responsibility through fun. I also wan to know if you will return my complete Heirloom garden, It has gone missing. These plants were purchased through the e store, I miss them. I have sent a message through customer service. haven’t heard anything yet, I know you are busy. It seems when ever you change something in webkinz, the site doesn’t work properly. I really wish is wouldn’t happen.
I agree and with all the glitches that went on during berryfest which was a total bust I spent Real money on moonberry seeds and now they with X I haven’t got to harvest, it just states not ready. Soooooooooooooooooo many things not to like about X. I wish I could X TERMINATE it.
I actually think that this is a much better system.
Please, please, please do not fix. I love not having to rake and water while learning the ins and outs of Webkinz X.
