I love a good cosy game! The look of the game is charming and I enjoyed the sound direction (the he~llo's made me laugh). I think I may have planted over the top of my grown plants, rather than collect them - it was a little tough to tell if they were full grown or not - perhaps a small sparkle effect when they can be collected? Or maybe just a "are you sure you want to plant over that?" pop up if you try to sow seeds on an area with a plant. I can see the challenge of trying to memorize the plants by sight as the game goes on. I'll echo other people here and say that it'd be nice to have the requests present on screen. All that said, I love the take on the theme - good work!

Thank you very much! Yeah I think UI/UX is was where I fell flattest haha!
My intention re memorizing the plants by sight was for the gameplay "loop" to be
1. Establish a varied garden
2. Neighbour request asks for a plant
3. Open book to see what that plant looks like
4. Find that plant based on visuals
5. Harvest and deliver as quickly as possible
6. Repeat 2 -> 5
I'm glad you had fun!
