I try to take dedicated days away from the PC here and there so I can avoid burnout and connect with friends, so here are some delayed responses:

@blunote00 (about fertilizer decaying faster with long-term gardening) - No, I haven't actually noticed this. I have a long-term garden I've kept for many Sim weeks as I work on other Guides, just to see if there's anything I'm missing about gardening. I haven't seen good reason to fertilize once plants are perfect, although it could help them get to maximum value faster. I haven't done any timed tests yet, though I plan to. Someone told me they let 6 Sim days pass between harvesting and they end up with the 10x value plants reliably, so I need to test just how long it takes for that to happen and if fertilizer affects it.

Time for me to work on Secret Agent and the Culinary Career, which will leave me 2 to go :)

I personally can't go without fertilizing it's just an OCD thing for me. However, when I do fertilize I queue up seven plants and use one fish to do it. Makes it go a whole lot faster and there is no difference using one fish to fertilize seven plants vs. fertilizing each plant with one fish.

I have noticed that if I let the harvest sit for a sim week the value does increase. I got about $10k+ on grapes a while back. She's got to harvest in a few days so I will check to see what the value is and then check again on the harvest after that. I normally tend plants and fertilize before I harvest. She's actually a millionaire with the proceeds from her garden. :p

Thanks for taking the time to respond. :)
