ONE OF THE decorations they sold for your Webkinz yard were vegetables. You could buy pumpkins, corn, tomatoes and cabbages and make it look as if you were growing a garden. We joked "Wouldn't it be nice if you could actually raise vegetables in your yard and feed them to your pets?"
Lo and behold, ask and ye shall receive.
About two weeks ago they introduced "seed packets" in the W Shop: cabbages, tomatoes, strawberries, corn, carrots and watermelons. When you dragged them into your yard, they were miraculously planted. They must be checked every day by clicking on one of the plots. A menu pops up and the first thing you do is inspect each plot. Most of the time it tells you the plot needs water; you then click on the water button and must tip a "watering can" over each of your plots. On some crops you also must rake them. In a prescribed number of days, you can "harvest" your crops and use them to feed your Webkinz, and the plot is replanted so the entire sequence can start again.
If you neglect your plants and they die, you must use the "dig" tool to dig up the dead plants; only then are new seeds replanted for you.
Now this is my type of gardening: no bugs, no dirt, no worms, and especially no sun giving me a migraine.
