Gardening Problems
Issue
Gardening seems to have developed problems in my current game, started a few days after the last patch. Although, plants are able to be evolved, the harvested plants in my sim's inventory are still shown as "normal" for chrysanthemums; tomatoes; carrots; basil; parsley and onions. The only two plants that seem to be evlolving and reflecting the correct stage when harvested are blackberries and snapdragons. I don't know if other plants are effected as the gardens I have are small.
Some of the plants were already on a lot downloaded from the gallery and the other two lots where this is happening were harvested from the planter box that isn't actually on a lot in Oasis Springs beyond the Zest property, not grown from purchased seeds. I did notice while one sim was harvesting from that planter box that a gardener showed up to tend the plants. My sim no longer had the option to do so, as was the case in prior saves. At the time, I was actually glad to see the gardener because I had not been seeing those plants with a harvest action. They seemed to not be functioning at all in prior saves.
I did do a repair game, which didn't help but I have not yet started a new save to see if the problem exists.
Steps you took for Issue to occur
Garden as usual. I happened to check what stage the harvested plants were while in the sim's inventory because the foodie sims keep getting the poorly made food buff. The problem is happening with plants in containers and planter boxes. Selling the plants and replanting from the sim's inventory hasn't worked, so next step will be to purchase seed packs and see if that will correct the problem. I would love to see input from others on whether or not this is a problem in their game. If it hadn't been for the negative foodie sim buff I might not have noticed as quickly.

Where does the bug occur ?
This is occuring on three different lots in the current save. Two of them are in Oasis Springs and one in Windenburg. I had put plants into the household inventory of the sims now living in Windenburg when I moved them from Oasis Springs. All three of the sim families involved are living in homes downloaded from the Gallery, in case that is relevant. Only one of the homes already had plants on the lot, the other two didn't.
I first noticed this on the Windenburg lot and thought perhaps the plants had corrupted from being in the household inventory while moving. I sold them and planted from the sim's inventory but again, even though the plants can be evolved, harvested items still show "normal" rather than the correct evloved state.
