Greenhouses are useless

I have to make special trips to find stops. Cant always wait around for hours for stuff to grow. Someone on twitter had the awesome idea of having an owl deliver your ingredients once theyve grown. I second this. Also expansion upgrades need to give more than 5slots. Thats pretty much a rip off considering one collection of seeds might give 3 packets

Also, please give more variety when visit greenhouses. No matter what city inn in i get the same stuff.
agreed. greenhouses suck. i only touch them to work on achieves
Oh I LOVE the owl delivery idea. That might help out the folks in rural areas who are having difficulty getting to greenhouses!
The owl delivery idea is good, but the mechanic seems to similar to potions i.e. you set the ingredients, wait and your item just appears. I like the idea of having to do something to get it.
I dislike that you have to return to the same greenhouse, I would suggest that you could collect from any greenhouse, but can only plant in the same one every 24 hours would be better.
Currently I can't see greenhouses really working unless one is so close to your house that you can activate it without going out. The other way would be to make 'grown' as opposed to 'spawned' ingredients last for 24 hours on the map to collect.
As it is I can't really see myself using them much other than for a 'grow and forget' to get the achievement.
Also around my area there are only Green houses and no inns. there needs to be a balance where there is a greenhouse have at least an inn close by. my area is a dead zone no even foundables appear very often.
I’m seeing greenhouses as a 'pay it forward ' Good Citizen sort of thing. I may not be there to collect, but someone else might be?
agree with KatherineSarah
have noticed an increased drop rate at other green houses for stuff growing in others
The only item I have been able to collect after growing in green house is wormwood and that is a greenhouse near an inn where I run 2 rounds of dark detectors and energy farm for an hour. I also bring a book as well traces do not keep me busy the whole hour. But even fully loading green house most get 4 wormwood so not always a great return
@Nyrmelina , if you max out the yield of a greenhouse, then there *should* end up being 9 "bundles" of that ingredient scattered around the greenhouse. They spawn in 360°, and anywhere within the gh circle of influence, which can be a decent distance. When I have done Wormwood, I have been able to collect 18, since it spawns in bundles of 2.
I would prefer if your Green House yield was "mailed" to you and anyone else who contributes. Versus having to wait around or return between 1hr-24hr.
Rather, I would be for REMOVING or severely REDUCING the random ingredient drops on the ground so that Green Houses are more useful and there's more of a reason to visit and plant in them. As it is now, you can completely ignore Green Houses and never really have issues Brewing Potions.
Where I live, there are not enough greenhouses around to be able to reduce ground spawns in order to make greenhouses more useful. If I need specific ingredients, I have to make a special trip to drive to the shops unless I want to be walking for hours on end. Then, I have to wait around for an hour or 8 hrs to collect anything. I've been unable to find wormwood for 5 days now. It's not very appealing.
It would be good if the ingredient rests for 8 or 12 hours after grow, and nto only 30 min.
why not do back yard green houses and add more incentive to community houses such as once a plant is grown in a community garden everyone that visits can always pluck from that plant?
Backyard greenhouses is the way to go. You would get more evening players as well and then tweak it to allow the market trades
also what is the point of friends???
