I think the only update gardening got since release was growing chocobo dyes, can we have new stuffz? QQ

And gardening for personal houses is relatively harsh. It requires the person to log on every day. My friend went on a trip for the weekend and asked me to take care of her garden. I was able to tend the plants until things started to bloom... which then I couldn't tend or harvest them, and had to watch them die.

My suggestions to improve/fix this:
1) Allow us to tend bloomed plants to extend the life time
2) Allow us to set permission for friends to access house/garden/stables much like the FC chest settings.
