Terms
Alert - Some fairyland wildlife give an alert when they are due, including babies, chicks, endangered, caterpillars, butterflies, hummingbirds plus some others
Back Wall - You have two walls in Fairyland, your 'Garden Wall' which is the one visible when looking at your garden, people often leave a message here to show they have watered. And your 'back wall' which can be accessed by clicking your name and your fairy name. You can see your Fairyland statistics, such as the wildlife you have spotted and the date you started playing. People will often leave more important messages on your back wall that might get lost on your garden wall.
Blanket Watering - A player made rule not endorsed by the game developers and not an official game rule. This was a term used by some players when there used to be a limit on how often a plant could be watered. You could only water a plant every 15 minutes, the developers then changed this to every 5 minutes, then they changed it again to every 2 minutes. Blanket watering was used to describe a person that was able to water all plants in a garden as soon as they were available to water meaning nobody else could get a sprinkle in as the person blanketing was much quicker. Now there is no time limit on watering a plant so there is no real explanation as to the use of the term. Some people with rules use it to describe another watering too often, but the opinion of what is watering too much will vary from one rule garden to another, some may say watering every second is too much, another may think watering every minute is too much!
