Do you guys have names for each of the fruit? I feel like the blue one that looks like a blackberry is so silly. That's not a real fruit but my brain thinks it is.
One is a freaking water droplet. That's not a fruit but... that's okay, sometimes I call it the white color in my head anyway since there's two blues.

I hate that they make it so hard to win the card finding competition unless you have premium Gardenscapes. It's like you have to win all these lil competitions to get card packs and so so many are freaking duplicates. I think these three competitions are the best for rewards, but they've really nuked them in the past year or so:
Like this new competition is pissing me offfff. How tf am I supposed to get 16 THOUSAND more tokens when I spin and it's like haha 1 or haha 10 oh bonus? Yeah haha loser you only went one section.
I don't mind the collaborative effort of it!! I think it's an awesome concept but I liked the birds a bit better bc at least it was a little bit of skill rather than random.
But then when they say beat all four trails and they put it in the topiary challenge that shit pisses me off so bad. In three days? You want me to beat this whole thing five times?? And you think that is a reasonable comparison to the amount of levels I best to get the rest of the achievements?
I beat every other single goal for three stages and I couldn't claim any of the boxes bc of the STUPID Trail Stages
Some weeks....some weeks it be like that. Sometimes you just accidentally play 500 levels in two days
Btw if anyone wants to join my team go for it! It's open and I give as many extra lives as you need
We made it to 20000 levels!! That's so many levels!!! 🎉
I'm so pissed off they took away the better pre-level power-ups. Used to be you could activate all three when stuck on a level and that would be enough boost to get you to beat it. Now, it's like NOTHING SAUCE.
On that note, I miss the hand power-up where you could move one piece. That was so powerful. You could put energy circles next to each other. You could use it like an extra move and make a match to make an explosive which is the last thing you need to blow up the area. You can move a fruit into position IN ORDER to make a match to clear the last grass or drop the last lemonade. You can move an explosive one over to just reach where it needed to reach. It was so clutch... I miss her. They nuked the double line clear too which like fine whatever I get it. It was too good. And I even understand the shuffle! The shuffle has its uses for getting explosives to an area you want or trying your luck getting energy circles next to each other, or getting explosives to form on their own when you have one move left. It is USEFUL, I just miss my bestie the glove.

Guide on how to win the Electric Showdown (almost) every time
I just realized this event had a proper name and not like "the energy challenge" or smth
Step one: Prepare
When you play the Electric Showdown you can do it one of two ways:
You're out of lives and you just want to beat this damn level and have free lives for an hour
Optimize your playing and set out to win this thing
Or like do whatever you want forever idc
So if you want to win (most of the time) the first thing you want to do is make sure you have the double energy circle activated by playing 10 games. And then I want you to have the magic hats ideally on 3/3 but we can work with 1/3 since it will give you the energy circle first. Here is what that looks like:
You will notice that I also have infinite dynamite for a time. If you also have this berry collection event happening (or similar), it's worth it to have a powerup going or especially a multiplier. If you can start with a x2 that is going to help you so much.
Bonus tip: At this point, you might as well activate the play ten levels in a row without failing challenge and collect your free 833-909 coins since we won't be failing levels while we win this competition.
You need to start out strong because the #1 most important aspect of winning competitions in Gardenscapes is flow. This applies to almost every single competition btw. The game rewards you for consistently winning levels the first try and keeping that flow. So if we want to win the Electric Showdown we have to already be in that flow with all our advantages activated.
Step Two: Use the Extra Energy Circle Power-up on Super Hard and One Shot Levels
As you can see in the screenshot above, whenever I am on a super hard or one-shot level I use an extra energy circle power-up for this competition. Since you already have the magic hats, this is going to spawn you in with two double energy circles on a level that every energy is already with x5. With the double energy circles that makes it x10 since you are touching double the fruit.
This is how you get +890 energy in one double clearing of the board!
Since a lot of levels start off with an initially small playing space, when you are spawning in two energy circles at the beginning, the likelihood is good that they will spawn next to or close to each other. This is important for step three.
Step 3: Always Activate The Energy Circles with Each other to Double Clear the Board as Much as Possible
The way to get the most energy is to match two energy circles together to clear the entire board, granting you the energy of every single slot (including the ones that don't currently have fruit in them!)
It is even worth it to spend a few moves to make the energy circles sit next to each other, as when the board double clears (double energy circles) that will do a pretty good job helping you beat the level too.
Tip: Pay attention to the explosives.
Ex. A bomb can clear five spaces to drop an energy circle down to another. If it is spaced correctly, you can clear more spaces in one column than another and line adjacent energy circles up in the same row.
Ex. Explosives are the only thing you can trade with an energy circle without it activating. This means you can move the energy circles' position.
Ex. When in doubt, make a lot of explosives blow up at once in a chain reaction to get more energy circles.
Let's do some examples:
In this level you can move the rocket down to clear the space next to the double energy circle and put them next to each other, OR you can trade it to the right so the energy circles are on top of each other. In general, if you have the option to it is always safest to put the energy circles on top of each other if they are going to fall due to level mechanics, especially through a portal. Making sure they stay together when you explode things is more important than you might think.
Next example:
In this level, the energy circles spawned one space apart from one another. You can solve this in three steps. First, you want to explode more power ups to spawn in a third energy circle. Then, use that energy circle to get rid of the yellow fruit to drop the bomb next to the energy circles.
Then, you can move the bomb to the right (or left) to move one of the energy circles into the position next to the other. Hmm I gotta stop taking action shots hopefully this is clear lol
Finally, use those mfs to clear the whole damn board!
When I use this strategy, combined with a one-shot level and an extra power-up in the beginning, I get over 2000 energy from one level.
Bonus step: intimidate your opponents by getting crazy amounts of energy within the first 10 minutes
Step 4: No Matter What, Don't Lose a Level
Keeping the flow of power ups by not losing a level is the most important thing. Yes, it does in fact make the 1 hour endless lives kind of useless, but oh well. You'll get a bonus 1 hour by winning anyway :]
If you need to use a clearing power-up (the ones on the side) or pay 900 coins to play on to beat a level it's worth it to keep the flow! Plus if you've played the 10 levels in a row without failing while doing this you'll have gained 900 ish coins in the process.
Step 5: If You Have Extra Moves, Explode As Many Explosives to Make as Many Energy Circles As Possible
For levels that have a barrier/goal you need to break multiple multiple times, these are conducive to multiple double clearings without beating the level. So if you have the moves, blow up a lot of explosives to make many double energy circles, and not only will you be able to activate many of them on their own but likely they will spawn next to each other since there's only so many spots to spawn. Then you can activate many double board clears!
This also works well if you have a level with lemonade and one gets stuck on top of an energy circle. Then nothing can beat the level until you activate that one energy circle so if you have extra moves, double clear away!
Step 6: Have Fun
Seriously, if this isn't your favorite way to play then don't play this way. This is a good guide on how to flow and have fun imo while also winning prizes but if it isn't fun for you uhhh don't do it !
The reason I say almost is because SOMETIMES you grind the hell out of the levels for a whole hour and then at the last second your opponent does an impressive as hell clutch and that's just how it is
Bonus Step 7: If This Happens To You Your Only Chance is to Play As Fast As You Can
Play the level, double clear the board, beat it, move on.
And if you happen to lose and not clutch, be impressed by the other person. You'll get another chance they usually run this challenge for three days straight before cycling.

Just cause I didn't post for all of 2025 doesn't mean there weren't thoughts in my head about it. I just forgot my Tumblr login. Anyway I beat all the levels a couple months ago I'm officially in cups now. I always wondered what would happen when that happens and I was partially right: they just give you random levels to keep playing until the next update. I wondered for a while if they would make you start over or smth play all the levels again. It does make me wonder about the randomization of the levels tho bc I was under the impression that the order was set but my sibling unlocked certain gimmicks at a much earlier level than I did?? Like the candles
I've been a bit too normal lately both on and off the court. the court being tumblr

Catch me staring at Gardenscapes a lot these next two weeks
Only thing that would make this better is if they actually had a disabled lesbian at the end of this. Why can't it be hot engineer butch to hot engineer fem pleaseeee
DAMNNN a hot Black ENGINEER main character for the storyline this month?
Catch me staring at Gardenscapes a lot these next two weeks
So, this is probably the most random thing I’ve ever posted on tumblr.com, but…am I crazy, or is Austin/Matthias actually a pretty reasonable pair to legit ship in Gardenscapes?
Update: almost immediately after I posted this, the game started a special expedition which tried to convince me Austin is totally into Katherine…you know, the redhead who gets snowed on a lot in adverts for the game, but has next to no screen time and even less relevance in the actual game. That quest concluded, but now the new one has started and we have Austin having a concussion dream where he is an Old West deputy sheriff and Katherine owns the saloon. And them being all affectionate during the game’s eighth anniversary party loading screen….
Subtle, Gardenscapes. Super, super subtle. If, of course, by ‘subtle’ you mean ‘not subtle at all.’ I see what you’re up to, game runners, I see what you did there 😉.
In reply, though, I now raise you: the existence of fanfic about Flo the Progressive Insurance representative. If there’s an audience for that, then there’s gotta be an audience for gay romance featuring a mobile game butler and a pudgy cultural attaché out there somewhere on the internet! I’ve never written romance or fix-it fic in my life, but if it comes down to it, I did create my AO3 account specifically as a space to challenge myself to grow as a writer, so…it’s not completely off the table, if I must.
(Disclaimer: this post is a joke, I do not really think that the devs for Gardenscapes even know or care that I exist, much less know or care who I ship my digital butler with. Still might write that fanfic if I ever figure out how romances even work, though.)
I WAS GONNA WRITE ABOUT THIS BUT IVE BEEN SO MAD AT GARDENSCAPES LATELY
Anyway I cannot BELIEVE they introduced "straight couple" Austin and Katherine into this lore tf they're so wrong about it too
And seeing Austin blush was a horrid experience btw what was that entire plot with an actor doppelganger that was insane /neg
That whole storyline was written so badly. Esp Katherine's mom or whatever she is constantly berating Austin except for when he started grossly advancing towards Katherine
Anyway PLEASEEE write gay Austin/mattias fanfic I will literally read it
If nothing else, Austin deserves better than a figurine with so little personality and presence that I initially thought she was Rachel’s less interesting sister and therefore was extremely confused at first about the otherwise deeply tame game apparently deciding to ship Austin with someone I thought was one of his cousins….
And yeah, Stephanie Broom…she annoyed me a little in the candyland expedition with Martha, but she became downright insufferable during the bizarre pseudocomedy of doppelgängers and heteronormativity. It also makes one raise an eyebrow at Martha for apparently being friends with someone who a) treats her like dirt and b) treats her son like dirt as well…to say nothing of nobody even acknowledging that Austin somehow acquired an identical twin who he didn’t know about for like…35-40 years minimum, but who did know about him and started stalking him and trying to steal his life, which…they’d have actually made a better story if they focused on that angle, even if it remained firmly non-canon, but that’s neither here nor there. Luckily, though, I’ve blocked out all memory of any and all appearances Stephanie has made outside of two of the more absurd side expeditions, so I feel perfectly comfortable pretending she doesn’t exist when the game doesn’t force me to work with her to scrape together some coins and power-ups.
Today I found some of the screenshots I took when trying to figure out if I was completely off-base with the Austthias hypothesis, so until I get around to that fic…just look at these two!
Oh my god they're GAY
I really need to catch up with this story I'm nearly 7000 stars behind LMAO I just find it so hard to get through but maybe this will give me motivation
Further update: just opened up a new area, which featured the return of Jane Nea Tong. I did remember that Jane existed, but had forgotten how back in the…first or second guest house arc, I think, it was implied that Austin had a bit of a crush on her. However, Jane has also returned with a new love interest: the gazillionaire investor Harry something-or-other who nearly ruined Calvadori’s spa a couple arcs ago before Jane won him over with her hotness arguments about the future profitability of investment in clean energy. Austin seems put out about this, implying they are setting up a (probably absurdly easily resolved, since this is Gardenscapes, after all) love triangle….
I will grant that okay, Austin/Jane was legit teased as a possibility long ago, but I continue to call nonsense on the whole Katherine thing. Plus, Harry’s a gazillionaire, an engineer, and he just bought Jane a top-of-the-line electron microscope and an ergonomic chair that apparently was actually so ergonomic that Jane worked a full day without being tired, and Robbie just implied strongly that he overheard Harry and Jane doing…something unscientific, anyway, that Austin really ought not interrupt in the lab, so…pretty sure Austin’s going to learn an Important Lesson in this arc about just going for it instead of being awkward and shy for too long, which is the perfect segue into his new life as the accidental hero of a gay romance novel.
That Jane teasing was like early in the main house arc, soooo long ago.
Something unscientific eh? Not saying Jane's a golddigger but she really saw a rich asshole and went I can fix him, respect. Austin better move on to better and gayer prospects...
So, this is probably the most random thing I’ve ever posted on tumblr.com, but…am I crazy, or is Austin/Matthias actually a pretty reasonable pair to legit ship in Gardenscapes?

For some reason I can't post videos in reblogs, thanks Tumblr, so here's how swapping a super rainbow blast with itself works:
Okay let's talk about the new game changes, specifically the super rainbow blast
(this thing)
First of all here's how it works:
It deletes TWO colors instead of just one, but you can only choose one of the colors and the other is random. Unless, of course, you double tap it directly then both colors are random.
If you match two it will delete the whole board twice instead of just once (video will have to be in the reblogs bc I can only attach one)
What I think this will do to the gameplay:
Specifically with events, this will be interesting, especially with the rainbow energy event. What I foresee happening is anyone who can keep a streak of levels (10+ without losing one) will sweep the leaderboards because of using the double rainbow powerup.
However, I'm specifically worried about them ALSO nuking the coins to TEN instead of FIFTY for the rewards for the regular levels. What this is going to do is cause anyone who has the means (buys coins from the shop, or buys the golden pass and receives extra lives and coins) to be able to keep their streak (buying for 900 coins to have 5 more moves). And then subsequently dominate the leaderboard. It's not a direct pay-to-win, it's subtle, but it's there.
And I'm pissed about it. I understand gardenscapes needs to make money to pay its developers but this is making gameplay so much fucking worse update by update (still mad they took away the quit level button why did they do that).
Other thoughts:
I also don't particularly even like the double rainbow blast. The only time I would want it is to get effectively a x2 multiplier on my rainbow blast energy for the event, and to complete levels easier with the powerup. I do admit it helps, however I prefer to play in a much more subtle way such as using a rainbow blast to delete the one apple between a bunch of blue (berries?) so that all those pieces fall into place and create an explosive. If I have three rainbow blasts and two are next to each other I'll use the third to knock them next to each other and next move clear the whole board. It's strategy they're taking away from me here. Constantly I was using this new powerup and it was deleting pieces I just simply didn't want it to.
And that's honestly the point of what I'm getting to, is that I hate I can't control the second color it deletes. I can only trade it with one and the rest is in the rngs hands. That's not strategy, and it messes up my flow. I would like to be able to choose when it's random and when it's precise and now I don't get a single choice.
