Gardening Request and Clarification Request

[Percyphanie]

Dear Devs,

Would it be possible to put a timer on the seeds we are growing that would show how many more days/hours/minutes there are before the plant is ready to be harvested? This would make planning the gardens much easier.

Also, could you please clarify.
I understand that tending the garden keeps the garden alive.
What I am wondering is if fertilize is used... does it include a built in tend... or if you only fertilized would the plants die? Just wondering if we are fertilizing if we then tend immediately after (which a lot of us are doing) if this actually benefits anything or is just wasted time.

Thank you in advance if you take the time to answer these questions.

Fertilizing does not also tend. Tending is the only thing you need to do to make sure the plants don't die. Fertilizing just speeds up the growth time.

So... you did a test plant that you only fertilized and never tended and it died? just want to make sure this is confirmed... not just speculation

I had a plot that I only tended and no fertilization and it did fine. I did not let the plants die on another plot but plants that were in the "not doing well" stage did not improve after just fertilizing them. They only improved to "doing well" after being tended.
