I spent hours planting flowers during a long trail run on Sunday only for someone to pick them all on Monday. I'm looking at you ishep 👀😃

(If someone picks your flowers, you receive the positive value of them, as does the person who picked them.)

Hanneke Aug 2021 10:01am, 4 Aug 2021 77,162 posts	0 Hanneke So, another new thing happened: 317 points from flowers this morning! I can see aome low scoring days are about to be deducted, so if I go for bikerides = lots of flowers, I should be able to up my score. Quite how one gets from 10.000 to 25.000 I don't know... Long bimerides, the same all over again for several days so flowers accumulate rapidly?
NDWDave Aug 2021 10:10am, 4 Aug 2021 15,362 posts	0 NDWDave Hanneke - have you come across "harvesting" yet? After ?42? days, any flowers still around will disappear and you get the points. Sounds like you have been playing for less than 42 days (but more than 30). You can see it in your score with just a flower and no label next to it.
CumbriAndy Aug 2021 10:15am, 4 Aug 2021 2,494 posts	0 CumbriAndy I know I can't get to 25000 by running alone, and it's clear from the score breakdowns of those at the very top of the leaderboard that flowers are key to accumulating high scores, so lots of long, flower watering bike rides would seem the way to go. Hopefully somebody who has achieved that sort of score will be along to explain how they did it. This observation is made assuming you're not in a position to take ownership of any traffic lights on the London marathon route - which, if I recall correctly, netted NDWDave (I think - and maybe someone else) a huge haul of points one year.
