Dear farmer,
it's Bingo time. The next derby, it's not up to much. In my opinion. I can live without that. 
However, whoever wants to fight the challenge with staggering tasks and so on, I wish much luck and stamina.

It’s blossom, easy when you know how to trash and only take the fast growing crops, help en mining tasks. Due to other commitments I will not start this one before the weekend, but expect to be done in just couple of hours. 😉 |

We will have 4 in this week. Luckily we can all be on at the same time, trade-off the trashing, and know the best tasks.

I think a little bit luck is needed, too. IIRC my sister-in-law and myself observed nearly every half an hour the board for appropiate tasks but they won't show up. Due to that we were forced to play this derby several days, longer than expected and wanted. That's also a reason to skip it. Take notice! For us.  |

Opting out both farms for the blossom derby. Just not into it. Plus my internet will be out Wednesday so would put strain on those opted in.

Our NH did the blossom derby this week with no hiccups.
There were 4 of us opted in. Three of us are in the same time zone, and the 4th is just one hour behind us. So that really helps, as does retirement.
We started at 1pm EST yesterday and with staggered trashing, we finished by 6pm. The tasks we chose were Mining, Help x3, train x2, trucks x2, corn, & wheat.
So if I wander by your stand and do some aggressive shopping, you’ll know why.😊

I was amazed at how stress free it ended up being.
Took a blossom task by accident several minutes after the derby started yesterday morning
Soya bean so finished fairly easily
Then had my phone with me whilst working so I could stagger trashing to get easy tasks
Finished all ky work and all my tasks by yesterday evening and came 1st by a long margin
The second place team are still over a thousand points behind even now
1st race I've won in a while so I'm pleased 😁

BauldersGate I'm happy for you that Bingo was so easy to handle. Same for my sister-in-law, she decided to sign in because she had time. And the tasks wanted such as soybean appeared quickly. I'm pleased for her and she got a permit, too. But I dislike this derby so much that I'm still glad to have skipped it.

I did find some hours yesterday, trashing while working on a blossom task. Done in just over 2hrs after I started. Wheat, corn, help, mining and town tasks. Finished 2nd, standard horseshoe rewards, no blueprints. Turned out I already had 15 in stock, so will reshuffle on Monday and see if something else might show up that I like. I know the blueprints will show up.
I did get the miners bench and purple hedges the last couple of days on the WOF, and it stopped at them.

ducktown2021 Nicely done. 👍 But I stick to it, Bingo and Blossom are out of the question for me. I'm good with this.

My team and I absolutely detest the Blossom Derby. I think we should all stage a strike next time it’s up, perhaps Hayday will take notice 🫣😂

Some hoods love the Blossom Derby, others not. I still know people that are hoping for a Mystery Derby. 😂 |
