Pam, I'm glad this has worked out fine.
About gardening, I did some testing before starting the dynasty. And you can have Banana with no gardening skills plant around 45 grape plants, weed them and harvest until she harvest a little more than 400 grapes and still have her on level 8 of gardening (water it with sprinkles). But if you just harvest without any skill then no increase will happend.
If you can use grapes any member of household planted and/or harvested, why don't you? I want to know this too, since one of my heirs will supermax Nectar Making.
And interior of your dynasty house is really great. Keep it up and lead them to the Hall of Fame!
