Tbh, you're very early in the game and there is no time limit! Don't feel like you have to have your entire farm organised in year 1. While you explore the rest of the game and work on the community centre, you'll chip away at clearing your farm (and that will get easier as you upgrade your tools).

As others have noted, you can move buildings later. So for now, just put them where there is room. Once the farm is clear, take an in-game day or three to rearrange the layout — and if you do that and decide it's still not quite right, you can change it again.

I like to do big rearrangements in winter because there aren't crops or animals to negotiate. Some of my farms get rearranged every winter for the first few years, as my farm develops and needs change. It's all part of the process.

Saw this in another post yesterday, and it prompted hubby and me to dig out the joint game we haven't looked at in months. Win!

I need this!

I reset my phone earlier this year and lost my WhatsApp messages because I didn't have backups turned on. So if they are doing this, it's new in the last few months.

Have you double checked the settings on the account in question?

Third Sunday in June is most common, but Father's Day is celebrated on lots of different dates in different countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father%27s_Day

(Mother's Day, too, btw.)

I prefer to own DVDs than pay for streaming, when possible.

They don't hurt humans or pets. They'll also tend to hide, given the opportunity.

They do like to eat paper, however. One silverfish isn't a big deal, but if you see them often it's worth looking into deterrents or pest treatment. When there are lots, you'll start to notice holes in notes, books, etc — most particularly (in my experience), loose pieces of paper left undisturbed for a length of time.

It looks like a silverfish to me, but I've never seen them bigger than about 1cm.

Some things are going to depend on your climate, so what has worked for me may not be a good fit for you.

That said, things I've had success with as a lazy gardener in a cool temperate climate:

• beans: pick every few days and eat fresh; keeps producing through the season
• lettuce: choose a variety from which you can pick a few leaves at a time rather than harvesting the whole head
• silverbeet/chard and spinach: pick leaves as needed
• Jerusalem artichokes: takes all season to grow, but produces an abundance of tubers; use them like potatoes
• leeks and spring onions: use the green part, leave the roots in the ground and it will regrow
• radishes: quick to grow, can be eaten fresh or cooked
• beets: can pick occasional leaves to eat while the roots are growing
• perennial herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano, chives)
• parsley
• Asian greens (pak choy, choy sum, tatsoi, etc)

Mostly those things have grown with little attention from me apart from water when it's dry. Many of them can be grown easily from seed, which is cheaper than seedlings but takes longer.

Let a plant go to seed and you get more for free. Leeks, spring onions, radishes, leafy greens, parsley are very easy to do this with. Save a few Jerusalem artichoke tubers for next season's crop. Let a couple of bean pods dry on the plant, save the beans and plant them next season.

If there is a community garden near you, that's a great place to ask for advice about what grows well in your area. They may also be able to help you get started with seeds or cuttings.

I can't see how The Silmarillion could work as a single film, given how it is structured.

Would really be best done in several discrete films, and they don't even need to be named "Silmarillion". Heck, you could probably make several films just from the Morgoth wars, never mind the other stories... Plenty of material without stretching it too thin like they did to The Hobbit.

Zucchini. I'll still eat it when someone else cooks, but I've given myself permission to stop using it when I cook. 9 times out of 10 it's just really uninteresting to me, and there are plenty of other veggies to choose.
