low geyser
hexed lark
Platform: PC Steam
Issue: huge lag when planting and harvesting. This started a while ago and it is bad enough that I don't want to do this activity. I used to be able to hold E and finish the area smoothly. Sometimes the character gets stuck and I have to restart the game. This is even worse in WALL-E garden. I don't harvest that anymore since I got stuck every single time I try it. I have to click E for every single crop. This is not good at all. Hold E doesn't work smoothly.
worldly flicker
Platform: Switch
Issue: Gardening lags, character freezes during gardening. Sometimes it solves itself after a few moments, sometimes I have to close the game. Can’t save then, of course.
near ruin
Platform: PC Microsoft
Issue: Can't plant seeds, no option pops up. I have seeds in my bags but I can't even get the option to plant them.
Screenshot/Video:
deep jacinth
Platform "Switch"
When gardening, I cannot use the press A to garden more mode. Also just single plot gardening doesn't work without freezing. I have hated gardening for the last couple months. Sometimes it corrects itself after a minute, other times I have to restart my whole game. (Only to repeat itself if I try and continue to garden)
cobalt marlin
Platform: PS4. When planting it isn’t too bad, but when harvesting with a buddy it takes forever for the character to move to the next plant. I will harvest one plant (when holding harvest all) and my character waits for my buddy to throw the extra before moving on. Excruciatingly slow to harvest that way.

Platform switch -
Freezing & lagging so so much when gardening & digging
Plant one freeze. Plant one feeeze. Plant one crash freeze Plant one ... its been happening a month or two. Holding A button to continously Plant or pick does not work. Its So bad I'm avoiding doing these tasks anymore its just so much hard work its not fun
lament maple
Platform Switch. There’s a huge lag /freezing when picking your garden vegetables. Sometimes my character freezes when picking plants for a few seconds. There’s also a huge lag when one of your plants is glowing and you are trying to pick it. The most I get from it is eight mostly due to the lag. Also sometimes the character you are hanging out with will freeze and than you have to reset them so they can continue to give you the vegetable you are harvesting. There’s also lag and freezing when you plant vegetables. My character will stop for a few seconds randomly and than she will plant another. Seems to happen more on larger plots.
silk niche
Platform: Switch
I had some crops planted but after the new update they haven't reached their final stage. It's been over a day and they're stuck on the recently watered animation
empty ferry
Platform: PC
Issue: Map tells me my plants are ready to be watered, but after arriving to the plot, they show as having been watered, but light up when using the watering can.
(Image shows them with recently watered animation, but the ground around lights up indicating that they need to be watered)
agile sage
Platform : PS5
Issue: I constantly freeze when I'm planting. I've been having this issue since the fairy god mother patch. I hate gardening, it used to be my favorite thing in this game. But, it's practically unplayable...
tropic crow
Platform: PC/SteamDeck
Issue: Noticed others reporting the not planting while Guardening. However I noticed I have this issue when holding any Tool. It Also effects picking up things like sticks of Harvesting crops and wild crops. (Putting tool away allows planting/harvesting/picking-up)
tardy jacinth
Platform: PC / Steam
Issue: Lag when gardening - digging, planting, and harvesting are all affected. Makes gardening really frustrating. I do also have some lag when foraging at times, both in picking plants out of the ground and fruit off of bushes/trees. Not as often as gardening, but still there. (Have **not **noticed this lag when picking up sticks)
EDIT: I should note that this lag also happens when harvesting WALL-E's garden.
stoic cloud
Platform: Pc / steam
Issue: the map showed that i need to water my plants, when i got there the plants where stayed the same as if a watered it, but i can water it. when i watered the plant i got stuck i can't do anything only moving the camera
chilly pivot
Platform: PC/Gamepass
Issue: Rewatered crops need watering again while half my plots in the same area are ready. I rewatered them all at the same time previously.
analog crescent
Platform: PlayStation 5.
Issue: Lets say i made 300 Holes and i put down the seeds to all 300 holes, i SAVE game and turn off console. Next day i come to my farm to see just like 115 plants and the rest are vanish and the ground is back to solid grass, so i lose most of my hard earn coins and time. this happens every time i make a big farm i can say about 200 plots, so now i only do 20 plots so i dont lose my coins and seeds.
onyx juniper
Platform: PS4
Issue: lag when harvesting/planting - can't hold X to harvest/plant all because it just lags massively, my character will harvest/plant a couple and then just stop for at least a 5 seconds before continuing only to do the same thing again after another 2 or 3 plants. So I have to harvest/plant one at a time and it makes me not want to bother with gardening.
flat folio
Platform: Xbox on PC
Issue: I guess you could say it lags when planting crops? It will make the "swishy" sound effect as if something was planted but then sort of lags and then that dig spot is empty and my character moves on to the next space. Doesn't do this too often, maybe once when first starting to plant but it is noticeable.
spare gulch
Platform: PC (Steam)
Issue: Compared to last update, all my gardening buddies are holding my extra crops and won't hand them over until I speak with them.

lapis granite
Platform: Switch
Issue: I randomly got a bunch of yellow spring eggs while digging yesterday. I didn't get a screenshot cuz grabbed everything up before i realized they were there.
subtle linden

versed shoal
PC/Steam --- My plot is for 99 exactly. I purchased exactly 99 pumpkins. I planted all 99 pumpkins. Yet now all of a sudden I'm missing one random pumpkin in the middle of my garden.
worldly flicker
Platform: PC Microsoft
Issue: Gardening lags, Planting using the Hold-E control results in long pauses where character is unable to move forward in the gardening bed grid (Ie. the many holes I dig to support my Pumpkin Empire) or performs the act of bending down and planting a seed only for no plant to appear and no seed to be used. Additionally the Harvesting done with Hold-E is laggy, my character seems to get stuck.
somber flame
Platform: Xbox one
Issue: Garden plots randomly disappearing, I have had half of my garden disappear twice so far
eager sparrow
Platform: MacOS
Issue: Gardening laggy.
Holding down E to plant/harvest multiple results in terrible lag. Sometimes smooth for a few plots, usually hangs and takes forever. This just started with last update, was fine prior.

Platform : ps4
Issue : great gathering quest, planting and growing carrots. When I go to harvest I get 5/9 and when I go to harvest the next few it counts backwards and makes me start all over from 0/9

same here with my crops
magic musk
Platform: MacOS
Issue: Gardening lag
Before this last update, i really hadn't noticed any issues. after this last update, it takes double the time to pick all of my crops once they are grown. I hold down key E like normal, and sometimes it works like it should for 2-3 plants and then freezes/lags but more often than not its lagging after each individual plant - its becoming more and more frustrating as time goes on.
fast thistle
Platform: switch
Issue: Freeze
Character and buttons freeze when gardening sometimes, I had to restart the game.
summer swift
Platform: XBox
Issue: I can only plant one item at a time. If I hold the button to continuously plant, nothing happens. I can only harvest 2 at a time. Anything beyond that prompts my character to stop moving. Nothing has remedied this other than my pet approaching, where I could press A and pet my companion, then proceed with gameplay.

Crops disappeared
My entire pumpkin patch disappeared.
jolly yarrow
PC (Steam)
While harvesting, the character is going down, harvest, than for 3-4 seconds nothing happened, like he's frozen (just he, not the game) and than he is going down for the next harvesting object, so harvesting need HOURS! That's the same in WallE's garden, or bushes, or trees, I cannot harvest anything properly. Haven't harvest my pumpkins for Months now... frustrating!
The character is also lagging while running/sliding, like the game works not properly, all other games (with waaay higher graphics) work perfectly just this one does not!
ancient ginkgo
Platform : PC
Issue: When harvesting multipule at a time it will harvest 1-2 and then stop for 2-3 seconds and you can't do anything until you grab the next one. I can't pick anything up or repick the crop if it's a special one
