A few people have been asking to use the gardens now, not everyone has the gil to buy a house and try out gardening and with our gardens not being used at the moment I understand the want for you to use them.
The thing we have always said though is that the gardens in the FC are for things grown for the FC.and thats what we tried to do but it takes alot of dedication fr one person to grow things, cross things etc for an entire FC. So I came up with a new plan which I hope you will like.
One garden will remain property of the FC. This will be what I use to grow Krakka root when we need it etc.
The second garden will be loaned out to players. It's not possible to just open it up to the FC because then anyone can harvest or plant etc and it will get messy. So this is how it will work:
A new rank will be made for gardening and people can queue up to go on that rank for a week. Most things take 3-5 days to grow so you can get a cross in that time too, if you focus and use fishmeal alot. At the end of the week that person will then go back to normal rank and the next person in line will get their week.
Extra rules/info:
-I would prefer you grow for yourself, friends and not for profit. I am not opening up a garden so people can grow expensive stuff to sell, I am opening it up so people can make that expensive stuff to use or share. (although i can't stop you from doing it i would ask you consider this.. selling spares is fine)
-If the person who's turn it is would like a friend to join them on the rank then that can happen, although if that becomes common i'd have to rethink the queue system because that could in affect have 2 people sharing 2 weeks which wouldnt be fair.
-If you are growing something that takes a long time (I think thav onions take 8 days) 1 of 2 things will happen. 1/ we will allow you to stay on until its harvestable so long as you are using fishmeal on it to speed it up. or 2/ if the FC garden is empty that will be swapped with the shared garden so the next person in line can use it. The other person then can finish growing his item then return to normal rank
-If this weeks turn is one of the officers, their rank will not change as they have access to the gardens already as well as their other actions. So if you see 0 next to the rank, theres probably an officer using the garden.
- While on the rank, you will have access to both gardens, please use only the designated garden.
- If you already have a house, please don't enter the queue, this is for people who don't have access to a garden.

I will try and make or link to a gardening guide on the forum after the 2.51 zerg is over.
For the first week I will do a /random in game to determine who gets it. I will then give people weeks in the same manner for how ever many people were interested.. after that will probably be first come first served.
