Thank you for responding, first of all. This is new for me. In fact, it seems to have occurred just after Enchanted by Nature was released. I tend to get my harvestables to the Perfect level, to help out the families who sell them. I am at a complete loss. If it isn't harmful, I'll just ignore it.
GalacticGal I decided to do some more testing, just to be sure. This time, when I fertilized a perfect quality plant, it changed from Depleted to Good. I'm not sure why it didn't change earlier. I even tried Horse Manure, and it worked. So, I don't know why it didn't change for you. Whatever the case, it still did not affect the harvestables. My sim got the same amount of money from selling them when the status was Depleted and also when the status was Good. When harvesting, the "fruits" still had the Perfect quality label in my sim's inventory. So, I do think it's okay to ignore the fertilizer status for Perfect plants. We only need to fertilize plants to increase their ability to evolve. I'm pretty sure we'll still need to water, weed and spray for bugs as needed to ensure they don't die.
Yes, my Sim has hired a full-time Gardner to lend a hand. Thank you so much. I may have misspoke earlier. I should have said that every time I check the plants, even after they've been fertilized, they all say depleted. But, if it doesn't truly affect the quality, I simply won't worry about it. So, thanks!
