I would get sprinklers first off so you don't feel you have to water them, watering them does nothing really, they don't grow faster, but at least the sprinkler gets rid of the watering can and saves you time. As for recycling or keeping, it is totally up to you, my main farm has loads of flowers, other farms have hardly any, I like placing them as decorations as well as for money. I have some I like more than others, but the more you harvest the more the levels and money goes up, so eventually flowers earn a pretty penny.

@@MadameFlutterbi awsome, and I don't use roads. Buttt when I used the water road for the fish I was like wow how pretty and neat. Yea I guess I'll just keep all my 100s of donkeys I have. Just put em in smaller groups like 12. Lol. I'm slowly learning this game. Lol I started in May now just learing this stuff. But yes this game is awsome. It keeps me busy for hours. Moving things. Recycling stuff here and there. One day I might get all 7 of my farms the way I want.

@@MadameFlutterbi and I would put my fish togeather then ied separate them. I seem to like my stuff separate so I can find stuff easier. I'm really not sure like how many flowers, animals, fish I should have. So I'm just putting some in and adding to them as I go. Lol I'm have clumps of flowers, fish, animals all over my farm. But that's ok cause in real I'm a messy person. My mess reminds me I need to get stuff done. If my place is clean I can't stand it. Need a little mess.

@@veronicawilliamson8392 My fish are a mess on my main farm, they are lumped together, I am trying to rearrange them slowly but it is such a big job that I give up and do a bit at a time lol. I tend to buy flowers etc as and when I need them, my main farm now has in excess of a 100 of each flower and tree, and the only reason I don't have more animals is the limit on the number of farmhands you can have, as they take care of my animals.

@@veronicawilliamson8392 I use roads now, mainly because you travel faster when using a road/path, it is just at the start I tend to avoid them as they seem like an unnecessary cost.
