fetcheveryone Jan 2013 7:46pm, 14 Jan 2013 12,268 posts	Quote Pin fetcheveryone I also thought about eliminating flowers planted too close to others, just to eliminate the case where they're more-or-less planted over the top of each other.
CumbriAndy Jan 2013 7:53pm, 14 Jan 2013 847 posts	Quote Pin CumbriAndy Repeatedly running the same route is always going to result in a pile of flowers on top of one another - taking off the most valuable one (once it reaches a maximum value) will keep the piles a little smaller. As you say, though, let's see the current changes bed in first
Dvorak Jan 2013 8:14pm, 14 Jan 2013 6,236 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak Drat, I was looking forward to an enormohaul where there were many flowers, some worth 20 000 - now all only 5000. That's what I get for dawdling Although I do have to admit it is a lot fairer. I thought untended flower disappeared after 4 weeks, is that correct? I do enjoy planting postboxes though, I have quite a collection. Er, that makes me sound enormously spoddy.

westmoors Jan 2013 9:59pm, 14 Jan 2013 85 posts	Quote Pin westmoors Damn! I've been putting off trying out a new route that looked lucrative with flowers and now all the points have been reduced.
Silver Strider Jan 2013 11:42pm, 14 Jan 2013 818 posts	Quote Pin Silver Strider I know how that feels, a 3 mile stretch I had been dutifully tending for 5 months too and from work has just devalued like the Stock Exchange did on Black Monday
Night-owl Jan 2013 11:56pm, 14 Jan 2013 14,788 posts	Quote Pin Night-owl luckily someone picked mine on one of my commute rides. Seems i'm one of them traders that dealt at the right time though sad there will be a cap on each flower understand why it has to be done
Ted Jan 2013 6:04am, 15 Jan 2013 12,481 posts	Quote Pin Ted I didn't realise that it was going to be as militant as capping back on flowers already planted. Like SS my well tended patch has been cut off at the knees.
