EA Staff (Retired)Is there a chance that you don't need to water because it rained recently? Rain will water your plants for you. Or perhaps sprinklers, or Patchy the scarecrow watering them on his own? Also keep in mind that weeds, water need and bugs were all purposefully slowed down as part of the new gardening design. The weather can also be a factor, for example bugs happen more often in spring and blazing heat in the summer makes your plants need twice as much water.
If you're positive that rain/sprinklers/Patchy aren't watering your garden, and it seems like your plants are truly invincible and never drink water, I would appreciate a save file to help us investigate.

@SimGuruNick I will get you that save file when I switch my pc on as I have later over 18 in game days with the plants in a greenhouse and haven’t had to water/weed once that whole time in my game. My plants are constantly healthy in the greenhouse too.
I definitely can’t water as it says this plant does not need water. And it’s the same for weeds in one of my games. The other game! The plants are outside in planters and I have had the weed option come up once but no water option. Some of the plants are dormant currently that required water and some don’t. So am kinda confused as to if it’s on that game or not.
I do know for sure however that my seasons game in the greenhouse I have not watered or weeded once so my Freelance botanist ambition has not been able to progress from the first stage. I do not have sprinklers in my indoors greenhouse either.
