I just want to say that despite June starting off with duds, all the rainy items have been to die for. I'm so glad they're finally giving us more stand-alone trees of good size. And I still can't get over that pond from the fishing event. I wish we could've gotten two.
I started a couple of days after launch, but the events got really hard to keep up with, to the point of setting timers to do the garden, and I just had to tap out.
The garden is the easiest event. You just need a lot of friends to gift you the bugs you need. Are you in the Discord group associated with the subreddit? It's easy to get friends there.
Yep, I play daily. And have joined the discord, mostly to find new game friends. It's hard to keep my friend list full when people stop logging in for long periods or just up and quit.
