Don't Lose the Farm! - Watson family challenge

The Watsons start out in a challenging spot. They have 27k on hand in savings, but they have a giant lot set up as a farm, their bills are 5k a week, Thomas is farming full-time and Rahmi is a low-lev...

So I'm about ready to wrap this challenge up. I didn't make it to the victory condition since Imra and Maira aren't young adults yet, but I think it's pretty clear that we're headed in the right direction and now that things are easier I'm sort of losing interest.

Here are the things that have earned us our probable victory
1. The NAP bonuses for Green Gardening and Upcycling Initiative
2. Gardening flowers (and as of this week, bonsai buds)
3. Minimizing gardening of oversize crops, except perhaps in the winter, and selling the Vitality and Super Vitality fertilizers from the livestock

Anyhow some fun things did happen this week with the Watsons so here are some delightful moments.

The garden set up for summer- notice only one plot has an oversize crop in it now

Befriending rabbits. Cottage Living has the corner on cute moments I think

Imra loves her chickies <3 and always looks a bit surprised when a new one hatches!

The bonsai buds, our latest cash crop

What happens if a distracted teen lets the chicken coop go for too long...

Maira is still fishing but I decided she needed another hobby. She's making and selling candles. Unlike Thomas, she would rather use a protective suit than go through bee bonding

Making candles

Selling candles. She looks very determined.

Oddly, we have lots of foot traffic here all of a sudden

The bees wreak their revenge by following the poor kids inside.

I haven't been attending active high school with these guys because Thomas has too much farmwork to do during the day, but they've gotten to have some teen fun at least. Imra sneaked out to a party (in a fierce black dress)

And got invited to the club, where she met Joaquin.
"Move over, kid, we ain't down on the farm here!"

"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Well, me and my friends are gonna get down like we get down on the farm. Like it, or go around it."

I didn't think about the whole studying for exams thing. Poor Maira.

As for Rahmi and Thomas's marriage, it seems to be improving

Better late than never, to learn important things about pleasing your spouse

Soon enough, Fair Day came! Here's the bottom line...
(in several groups because of all the crops we had 99+ of)

Let us not forget Maira with her one minnow from this morning.

Making our grand total 12,395, plus Rahmi's earnings. Their bills are just under 4k with the NAP discounts.

Conclusion: We will not lose the farm.
