Since this journal contains roleplaying entries, I will not be replying to any of the posts that people have entered into those threads. Please use this thread to ask me any questions you may have about gardening or just to say hi.

I still consider myself new to gardening and don't want you to think I'm some gardening guru. I'll be glad to tell you what I know or suspect about this cute little FF hobby.

Hey, nice log you got going here :) I just got into gardening myself...we'll see how it goes for me.

BTW, what server are you on?

I simply ADORE you Pikko! hehe. I love reading your log every day. You may have been a Tarutaru in a past life :p
I would love it if you expanded your log to more than just gardening. I like reading about your gardening experimentarus, but I love reading about your other adventures. Maybe you should just change your "Pikko's Gardening Log" to "Pikko's Journal/Diary" and talk about all your adventures in cute Tarutaru speak as well as your gardening experiements.

Right now I'm gardening with one Earthen Flowerpot :(

I would like to use 10 pots, but I have too much junk in my Mog House right now.... I'm a pack rat and I like to keep everything... Moko grass I kept when mowing the Yagudo's lawn at Giddeus.... Chicken Bones after I ate the chicken... Bronze ingots and sheets, leftovers from my Smithing experiments, stacks of Maple and Ash I chopped for firewood... I need a Bronze bed (I still sleep on the floor), but I'm too cheap to buy one. Just working up my smithing skills so I can make one. hehe.

hi pikko!!! i read your diary everyday its provided some great insight into gardening thank you so much!!!

Hey Tekst, I hope you have a wonderful bountiful garden!

Dark, I do have pics, I just keep forgetting to grab the screens. :(

Sorry fOr this little nowhere message, but Pikko, could I talk to you somehow via MSN or Emails? I have a couple of questions to ask you. If it is ok for you, my Email is: tommy_boyz193@hotmail.com It's the same one for MSN as well.

It's ok since you happen to have answered my question in the craftskills thread. Please forget about my previous post now.

Hi Pikko

I have been looking at several gardening guides and have been trying to find a method of growing Fire Crystals and Wind Crystals.

I have Brass Flower Pots and Ceramic Flower Pots, I have tried numerous recipes that claim to grow these crystals, but I end up with La Thiene Cabbage or Karu Beans.

I recently tried a Ceramic Flower Pot + Grain Seeds + Ice Crystal in hopes of getting wind crystals but was unsuccessful.

I was able to successfully grow Fire Crystals once, but upon trying the same recipe again cabbage grew.

Does the day or time of day change what will grow? Any advice you could give would be great.

I have used your research as well, and the one time I did grow something successfully was from a recipe of yours. Unless I am doing something wrong, the same recipe has not worked since. I am growing somethings right now from your research and am hoping for success.

Thanks for any help, and your positive influence on this community has been continued to be noticed by myself for several months.

Luv ur journal pikko!!!

I've just started gardening recently ^_^ so i killed plenty of saplings LOL

waiting to harvest my first batch >.< soo excited...

Thanks for all the useful info

Quit spamming my guestbook and go face your fear of Jellys in Gusgen.

Feynn farted on Shmiyos last night.

Hi Pikko! I have readed most of your amazing gardening reports and I really like them.=)

I have just started gardening and have a question for you.
When and why should I dry my flowers?

I'll do that sometime when I dont need to garden something, will be a nice screenshot :)

Great journal Pikko. I have two questions for you, pls:

1. I use 10 Flower stands, 10 Ceramic Pots, and all Veggie Seeds. Do you know if a Brass pot is an upgrade for Ceramic and an Herb seed an upgrade to Veggie? What do you use?

2. How does one get a Picture linked to their User Name : )

(Ok, that was more like 4 questions)

I wouldn't call them upgrades as each pot and seed type has it's own potential to grow different things. You can grow things with herb seeds you can't grow with vegetable seeds (and vice versa) but it's not because herb seeds are "better" than vegetable. :)

Pictures linked to usernames are for paying subscribers of Allakhazam's I believe. You add the picture in your User Account.

Pikko i really think youa re one of the cooler ppl in this forum, you and Karg lol hes funny :) anyway just popping in to say hi and how cool i think you are :P

Ps: you should be on Bismarck not Garuda ><

I'd just like to say that I'm truly sorry about what's happened the last few days, and that I know I should have thought things through.

At the same time, it was really all over before he ever got involved, but some people can't give up...

I've decided to stay away from the whole mess, and I think I'll stay away from the FFXI Main Board for a while.

I'm sorry to hear that you were getting bashed around in that Uberlink thread too. I never read it, but I hear it was much worse than the argument surrounding me.

Anyway, I'm sorry to have caused such a mess.

P.S. The new journal name came about a while before this last thread began.

Hey pikko thank you for the great journals! But im not just posting to thank you for that, i posted this topic in the trade skill forum, but then i saw this and i thought it would be better to post here.

I have been working on growing ice ore for sometime through QUITE the trial/error process and i think that this would work (i have avoided looking through the threads, ive been trying to work this out on my own) and i did read a thread where you posted you had succesfully grown ice ore. Here is my procedure

1. Plant saplings in Porcelain pot on WINDSDAY (ice is strong against wind right?)
2. Check regularly (thats a given)
3. Once the feed crystal option comes up i will feed it an ice crystal on Windsday once again (im not sure if i should feed it on windsday or iceday, i think windsday because thats what it is strong against, but i would like all input)
4. Once feed crystal option comes up again i will feed it an ice crystal on Windsday again.
5. Harvest when moon is full or almost full on Windsday (once again, im not sure if i should harvest on Windsday or Iceday, but i am assuming Iceday)

Now i think this is a pretty good procedure, and i would like ANY input from anyone that has grown ice ore before. Thanks in advance!

i thank this link will help everyone out on there gardening advanture its http://cannotlinkto/ffxi/gardening/...found it somewhere on this site long time ago so much info :) i have been trying element ore so far 0/3 tryed 2 ice and fire the fire give's me cinnamon which are not worth much and ice give's platinum leave which sell for 20k a stack on carbuncle:) pays me back for the tree sapling.. down fall it takes a month to grow:( anyway good luck.
