I have reported this as a bug/loss via the Contact link. If I do not 'use up' one of the other types of seeds, I will never be able to access my Rice seeds again, if it remains as it is. Pretty serious bug.
Back in Fairy tales I for it real handy to clear a 10x10 space in 1 corner to put a spare orchard. I added 2 wagons to put in with to offset a loss in happiness. With only 1 stage 5 cherry orchard, I'm 10 sherries short after 2 harvests, so a extra cherry Orchard helps.
This can be bulldozed & replaced with an animal shed or field as needed,
I've found you'll need 10 extra workers if you want a field. Apple Orchard needs 4, Cherry 6.
If you work on it, 12 spare workers is Ideal, 2 stage coops needs 12 workers (best way to get dung)
Don't upgrade them as you'll only need them briefly, coops can be stage 2, it's about how quickly you can demolish it.
I've found a Apple Orchard as best default when not doing an event or Co-Op project.
I hope the might help a bit. Happy Farming.

I too sometimes build extra buildings/fields during events as it makes it easier to complete the task well in time with 1 or 2 (sometimes 3) days left.
(At the moment i'm on task 6 and more than half way through with it.)
---A correction to your post---
The cherry orchard needs 4 workers same as the apple orchard.
I would also like to take the time to thank everyone for the helping us in making this spreadsheet
We have just about completed the spreadsheet (just need the details for tasks below level 27). I hope the tips for each task help you all in completing this event easily.
Goodluck and Happy Farming!
Good Luck with your Event. ^^
Angie the drop rate from the orchards is, in common with all the other events, really poor at less than 5 per hour (see link in my sig.). The way I've played it was, even before I knew the drop rate I could see that the collect apples & cherries was going to take a long time so calculated the amount of fertiliser I required and opted not to harvest my orchards to find seashells. Only once I was certain I would have enough fertiliser for task 5 did I bring my orchards into production for task 4, but this was more to get leaves for humus than to get seashells.
I was planning for task 5 from about task 3 and built and sowed all the cherry orchards for immediate harvest, leaving only 2 batches of 3 apple harvests; 6 hours. To build the orchards meant that I had to remove a lot of decos and build a new house which has pushed my happiness up to ~250%.
~250% ouch been there done that ;( event will be over soon!
I just noticed that when the mouse is over the flower on the task bar with the counter--sometimes it changes color--blue, orange, fuschia
and this was from the pigfeed, full batch of 12 bags
WOW...
I have finished the event with 3 days left!!!8o
(WITHOUT SPENDING ANY GOLD!!! ^^)
You've reminded me that the cranes did this as well, a nice touch !
Love the pictures of the flowers, nice artistry - I thought montuos's avatar was nice, I hadn't realised it was the flowers from the game. I do appreciate the high quality graphics in this game.
2 farms is tough to try getting both through these events--about half through the seashells and 40 more for the parade float for the birthday event on www1 ;( I will get through it though.
Chicken Coop : Takes 12min to complete and you possibly (but rarely) get 2 or 4 flowers from 2 coops.
Pigs : Takes 1h 10min to complete and you possibly get ONLY 3? What the heck is wrong with GGS?
I could go on and on with other equally ridiculous examples on how this Flower Blossom thing is a complete RIP OFF! The only thing that delivers without fault is the Mill, and we all know that our production of food is limited by the capacity of our barns.
So it boils down to this: GGS fully knows that a LOT of people won't be able to complete the task in time and are betting on there MILKING MONEY MAKING COW which is to buy the task off with gold, which in turn assures them with a good income with gold purchases from us. In the real world, this is the definition of a scam. It's most frustrating when you realize this after going through all the steps which are not easy,only to end up with an almost impossible task to fulfill. Don't get me wrong now. I LOVE a good challenge and a hard one. But when you make it virtually impossible for a lot of players, it is only a cause for frustration.
Oh, and by the way... it's no wonder they reduced the amount required from 2500 to 1820. It's only to make it less obvious. For people that are lvl 32 and below, good luck guys! You'll need it for sure.

Instant Ocean, I'm a bit surprised that you feel so strongly about this. I've participated in every Theme Event that's been started since they were introduced and have completed every one of them, usually with days to spare. I've also had a lot of success with my smaller farm (which I don't run anymore) and have found that I got better drop rates and a higher chance of completing the Event faster on my au farm rather than my en farm.
I know the Events are things that you need to work at to achieve them, however with a deco worth more in happiness than gold brought decorations, that makes a lot of sense to me.
As for the capacity to produce feed in the mill being limited, it's easy enough to sell the excess. Personally, I'd rather not have to, because it's sold at a loss, however it's an option that you can take advantage of, as I'll be doing very soon - my chicken feed is about to hit it's limit.
Instant Ocean, it's a bit harsh in my opinion, for you to be referring to the Theme Events as a scam. People always have the option of finishing with the use of gold if they wish, but they also have the same option of forgoing it if they can't achieve it without the use of gold. Many players here will complete the Event - no gold used at all - with myself being one of them. That doesn't make for a scam.
Besides, someone wanting to use gold to complete part of all of the Event is nothing for them to be ashamed of. It is after all, the gold buyers that keep the game running as GGS has no other income coming in except from people purchasing the premium currencies such as gold and rubies.
c'mon almost 3 full days left
Task 6 - Flower Blossoms "...if u are low on time than focus on the mill (preferably corn or pig feed)..."
Just wanted to say that according to my calcs it's not quite right. This is one of the (few event-)tasks where one can take it a bit easy (conc. only mill and fields), and go for wheat + cowfeed. Cabbage and Pigfeed are the "worst" things to do unless I've missed somethin' or calc. it wrong.
Flowers per hour only on mill:
Flower - 0 , Corn - 29 , Cabbage - 26,7 , Wheat - 32,7
Acc. flowers per hour on fields + mill:
Flower - 30 , Corn - 41 , Cabbage - 29,33 , Wheat - 35,72
So it should say; "...if u are low on time than focus on the mill (preferably corn or cow feed)..."
If I've calc'ed somethin' wrong, I appologise and hope you'll coprrect me.
<Edit> Calc's are made with equal (or no) non-drops on all items.
If one incl. the animals U get:
Corn -> Chicken = 50,2 Fl/h , Cabbage -> Pig = 31,9 Fl/h , Wheat -> Cow = 37,15 Fl/h
I have a chronic disease and cannot work so I play all day. Even with that, I've managed to gather so far only 800 something blossoms. Sure we still have 2 days to go and it is more than likely that I will get it. What I was trying to point out in my original post is that the mechanics of the challenge are somewhat illogical. I gave you the example of the chicken coop vs pigs which, I hope you will agree with me, doesn't make sense. One take 10min and gives you 2 vs the other that takes 1h 10min and only yields 3... and to top it off, it is not a guaranteed drop.
Believe me, I do not envy players that are at level 10 or 20. Must be almost impossible for them to get it.
PS: Where are you landed in the event and why, oh why haven't you bought that last piece of land on your farm yet?
But if you are not a person to re-design your farm for every event, it is indeed difficult if not impossible to make it without the use of some or maybe much gold.
I know you asked your *PS question to *Monica, but I would like to answer it as well - I am a level 72 on the WWW server, have not bought the last 2 pieces of land yet because of the costs (one but last is 21M and the last I think is about 30M - I am close to buying the one but last piece now) and I am in the last task of the event with at this moment 637 flowers. Seems like you are even ahead of me at this point
I do have to add - the events need a really high activity, so for the players that are less active than us, it may be even less possible to make it through
(I want to apologize, made some massive mistakes in here :P i.e. PM was supposed to be PS and the person asked should be Monica, not Kat... *sigh* :P )
