Favorite Fertilizer Option Please

@Psychotps, I have some problems with fires.  Many come from the dryer, even though I try to keep the lint tray clean.  I also try to upgrade them when I can so they don't catch on fire.  I also get a lot of fires from unskilled cooks ... I try to train all my Sims to at least get a Cooking skill of 3, but when I'm not looking, those pesky Sim teens decide to cook something other than salad or fruit salad before I get their skill raised! 😃  I've also had many fireplaces catch on fire, but not for a good while. 

If you want to find cherries in the game and not wait for their trees to grow produce in Brindleton (unless you live there near them) and if you have City Living, you can travel around until you find a produce stand , since they always stock cherries (as well as pomegranets).   But the best place to find a produce stand is after a festival ends.... usually the Humor and Hijinks Festival will spawn one , once the festival's food stalls have evaporated.  I can almost  always find a produce stand and either another food stall or a coffee/tea stall after the festival! 😉

I might also get cherries from the gnomes that show up on Harvestfest if you have Seasons.  I can't remember though.  I do know that you can get them in Real of Magic, along with dragon fruit, angelfish, and death flowers! 🙌 Just go to the stall in Casters Alley that sells alchemy ingredients! 

Orchids, on the other hand are a bit trickier to get.  I might have gotten them from gnomes on Harvestfest, or from Patchy the Scarecrow.  And of course if your Sims have enough money and gardening skill you can purchase them, although it is a crap shoot if you actually get an orchid or just another plant with the same level of rarity.
