A flower question. Once it has a value of 20 do you gave to keep watering it? I ran over one of mine today but scored nothing for it. It is at a point where I turn into a field so I can't see I would have missed it.

My bug was late that day too, had already been out luckily had another look at map later.
Hello USB, flowers don't increase after reaching 20 & (I think) take up space, best to choose varying routes if you're able. I'm a bit limited so quite happy when someone goes over mine & clears way for more planting

USB - once the flower reaches a value of 20 it will not respond to further watering. It's sometimes a challenge to make sure they don't hit the maximum value in the first two weeks - if they do, they can't be watered meaning they can't be kept alive for six weeks meaning they'll never be harvested. As ferret says, an incentive to run varying routes.

At the moment I am not running far so don't have many flowers. This one is literally on the edge of my circle and on one of my bug squishing routes.
I did have problems yesterday as for some reason my run uploaded but not the route. I couldn't make my Garmin load it again so resorted to mapping it manually which seems to have made me miss a checkpoint link too. Irritating because I was running really nicely yesterday.

Cross post CumbriAndy! This flower is a bit odd because it shot up to 20 really quickly without me doing many runs across it. I shall bear this in mind for my others though.

😂 my garmin was odd yesterday too - shows a straight line from pool to home crossing lakes, wildlife reserves etc, inspired cycling but useless fetchpointing

Back fetchpointing after a week or so off. Managed to clear 6 of the buggers in my walk today. I've got 3 left and I'm hoping that tomorrow's bug is near them so I can finish them off in one go!

Nice little bike ride this morning to round up some jewels and bring me back into plus points.

Should get points from my flower as it is over a month old now. Watered a different one today and it jumped up to 9 points, is it random how many points? I thought it went up 1 each time you pass it.
I am hoping for some Fetch pointing tourists at parkrun as I own 2 sets of traffic lights on the course.
