New plant vendor, new cu.. new job..

Wow, it's been forever and a day since I've last posted.. one month to be exact. I've been so tired lately since I got my new job, so this blog wasn't exactly in the top five things to do every day.

Anyway, my plant vendor has been up for a couple weeks now. As far as I know, there is only one other on the shard, but I could be wrong.. there could be two others. Not that I have much competition. As usual, I have a broad selection of sale items (various plants of many different colors, resources, and garden decor) and my prices are the cheapest on the shard.



I was also given a new cu sidhe the other day.. the nice guy insisted that he didn't want any money for it, and it's one of those rare, outdated ones with a crapload of hit points. Love it! Kudos to Hunter Xavier. You rock, dude. :)

I'm surprised I haven't killed them yet.

As you can see, I've added even more plants to my collection. They now take up the entire back wall of the alliance house. I also have a bunch now growing on the roof of my own house, thanks to Baralis, who put a couple teleport pads in there for me.

I've been watering them every morning when I wake up, and they're doing great. I think I'll have a plant vendor set up sometime in the next two weeks, depending on how many plants I have to sell.

Awwe.. Aren't they cute?

Well, the first batch of plants are fully grown and cross pollinated. I'll collect seeds from these guys and then change them to decorative mode, then they'll be sold. Simple enough.

Vine collecting today..

While decorating the guild alliance house on the north side of Umbra with Slipknot this morning, we decided we needed some more vines to put on the walls of my soon-to-be glass blowing workshop. And luckily enough, the lovely Simmy shared some of her green thorns with me.

This was my first time planting the thorns and collecting the vines from the monster plants that pop up, and I was very amused with the process. Looks like I'll be cross-pollinating a blue and yellow plant to get a few green seeds so I can do this again in a couple weeks.

And maybe that plant vendor will come around sometime soon..

And more plants..

Well, the first row of plants have reached their mature state, so now I have a red tribarrel cactus, red campion flowers, and an uncommon bonzai tree. The row back against the wall should reach maturity either tomorrow or the next day.



I decided to plant four more red seeds on the east wall of my house, too. I guess we'll see what grows.



I'm thinking about putting a plant vendor in my house, too. We'll see how many plants I get and then I'll decide. I'm not quite sure where I'd put it yet.

6:00 am, no restart..

What? No server restart today? What's up with that, guys? I want my plants to hit their next growth stage! Even the potions I put on them yesterday morning are still there.. Gah!

And another blog begins..

Today I was reading about growing plants on UO and began to realize how complex it is. With all the different possibilities and time involved, I needed a place to track my progress.. and so this blog was born. I just hope I have the time to keep up with it all. I may have to hire someone to water my plants for me if I don't have time to login on the weekends.

Here's the first picture- so far I've got one wilted uncommon plant (Yes, I neglected it.), two vibrant red saplings, two vibrant yellow seeds, and two vibrant blue seeds.



I guess we'll see what happens..
