How do I get my gardening skill up on The Sims 3?
So, the my career on The Sims 3, I need to improve my gardening skill for it. How do I improve it?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Easiest way without any sweat is to switch on the tv to the gardening channel. Apart from that you can take classes, get a garden and tend to the plants, read book.
Lisa asks…
What “product” would you like/expect to receive from a gardening consultant?
I would like to take jobs as a gardening or landscaping consultant, working with homeowners as clients. I do not want to take measurements/draw landscape plans. That takes too much time outside of the meeting/appointment. I feel many people just want to pick my brain and ask questions anyway. But I feel I need to leave them with something, written notes, a list of plants, etc. I want them to feel they got their money’s worth. What would comprise a good product? I’d like to make up a form or sheet to use.

Garden Consultant eh?
I’ve done it before… But you’d better be well versed in all manner of garden products. What I’ve done is offered a ‘garden calendar’. All the things you recommend doing, you compile as a ‘to do’ list, at the appropriate times. Home owners are smart, but unless they know when to do it, they might not get the results they should. So if you suggest a water soluble fertilizer every other week, note it on their calendar. When should they trim their Forsythia? Note that too… Sort of instruction manual for their garden. Offer it at a small charge (print calendar pages on your computer), otherwise let them take their own notes.
I wouldn’t expect to have a whole lot of customers, but if you target younger home owners, without a lot of experience- you might do okay.
Good luck-
Sandra asks…
Should I wait for flower gardening or can I start now?
I live in TN. So, far we have had about 2 weeks of warm weather (60s & 70s) before spring even set in. Last year, our winter ended right around this time also unlike past decade where cold weather ( < 60F) would last through April. So, should I wait a little longer or can I go ahead and start my flower gardening now?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Rather than relying on daytime high temperatures, you should check out nighttime lows to see if there has been frost recently, and if you expect frost to continue.
Meanwhile, you can prepare the soil, by putting a fresh layer of topsoil on it, and raking it in to the existing soil. If you believe in fertilizer, you could mix that in, too.
Some flowers are very hardy in cold weather, pansies, for example.
