Yes the pear goal expired on me. I meant to come back in 1hr got delayed and the goal was gone. But my pergola still had time on it and it was started before the 2hr quest. And 2hrs was tough because it takes 1hr to collect pears! But I was willing to gem speed my 2nd collection. Glad I checked but annoyed it was expired before the 2hrs.

I think a couple of mine expired before I even saw them. And one popped up with a 50 minute timer. really??!! What's up with that

The start of this event was a whirlwind. I did have grown acer trees from some expansions so those first ones were easy for me. I guess looking back at how it all went down, I wish I had known the triggers for the side goals. But how could I have known? Anyway it's all going to come down to waiting on grapes, so next few side goals will be impossible for me. Time for me to get some Zzzzzzz.

I just found some vineyard walls in my inventory. I guess I got them sometime during the fast and furious.

I'm mostly getting monsters from harvesting crops. If you activate the "harvest twice the crops" boost before collecting, it also doubles the energy you get back, so the loss of energy is minimal. So I just plant and collect strawberries and cocoa for sundaes and have gotten quite a few monsters there.

I had chopped several red acre trees and spawned nothing. Then I chopped the first yellow acre tree, and spawn a Skunkupines immediately.

arent these side goals optional? it just helps out a bit but doesn't mean much if they expire? I know in my game they say something to that effect

How can I get purple grapes? The vineyard pergola gives 1 green grape every 2 hours, that's all.
