Very quiet on this Board of late. Anyway, this week's Update is in and we have -

A Sunshine Box - 24 gems
A Balloon Arch - coins
Mushrooms - a 3 hour "vegetable"

Pics please of the contents - or just info if you have it.

Mushrooms a vegetable ? We'll do that one later, I'm sure

I do not think sunshine box is new this week. I think that was a few weeks ago??

Since I started the artichoke: fruit or veg debate I figured I should throw my 2 cents in. Mushrooms are a fungus

Yes, that's right, sorry - just 2 items, the arch and the mushrooms - and no new box (although it's "featured" still obviously). I'm getting too used to three new items - how spoiled we are now compared to just a few weeks ago :)

Indeed, and so not a plant at all - a fungus being its own species. But we all recognise it as being correctly in the vegetable basket, no ?

Cripes, you bought it ! But then, what else can we do with our money ? I hope you didn't let the skunk help you blow them up because when those balloons burst .....

horrible colours & well oversized & yet another non farm item. 160 xp gained for the arch. Won't be having arch on my farm.

Mushrooms cost 35 coins, yielding 1 xp & 90 coins after 3 hours.

Well, yeah, they are but since TL only gives us 4 categories I don't think they would add another category for crops or even could the way they've got the window set up.

Agreed. I also notice your crow eyeing up which balloon to go for first.

Well its not a veg at all so it shouldn't be in there but on the other hand it would be completely ridiculous to have a fungus section for one thing. So sure, stick it in with the veggies, close enough :)

my only fear is that the gnomes may start popping the balloons when I am not looking. You know is it really hard to resist...

looks like the 4th of july celebration isn't over quite yet? wish animals could be placed under the balloon arch, i'd use it as a finish line

But we could have it as the Winner's Arch - Cogburn would fit under there nicely, modestly and handsomely.

I bet he'd love a chance at those colorful balloons. Just have to be careful not to inspire a career in cockfighting.

True, true. On KP's Farm it's the gnomes at the head of the queue I'd worry about if the crow does start folk jumping by popping the balloons. Maybe just as well they're stage left unseen in the capture.

Well, actually, you gave the idea...but officially, I started or as it had my name written there:p. Back to the School of TeamLava, and this is totally unacceptable! Disgraceful behaviour, TeamLava. Get your facts right:p:D!

New gift offer when you buy gems:

Yes, I read that somewhere but there it is - it was an Alpaca before. None of these have popped up for me so it must be random - or selective. I did buy some gems not so long ago, so maybe it ignores those who have already taken the bait.

Hippo would like the dog - although it's a rough collie she has - but she doesn't have a farm. We've got bearded collies - maybe them next.

Nope, took te bait recently too and I have the same offer as Kooky Panda when I restarted the game.

Love the dog but i won't. Good to see they make a difference between dollars and euros :)

Considering that you've only posted one mistake which I think is just a typo...:D
And, absolutely no one could dare ignore the British! I mean, for a start, who would want to ignore me:p (<---rhetorical...if anyone dares to answer that one...)?

Well, as mushrooms grow in the dark, they wouldn't need a window !

Yes, I think TL's Exchange Rates are pretty fair - I noticed that when I bought Farm Story Animals (which I wasn't really supposed to do, but I still have it) and the GBP price versus Dollars was very fair.

Unlike - here I go - our friends at Apple where for years if, say, the latest Mac was 1400 USD then the UK price was, guess what, 1400 GBP. I guess it was the same with Euros. Better now but the conversion is still outrageous.

Yes, the Sunshine Box was at least a couple of weeks ago. But I have a different problem: I have not "gotten" received the new update that includes the balloon arch nor the mushrooms. Does anybody else have this issue?
