Gardening

Are they in season? Or do you have the seasons pack?

Yes the plants are in season. I haven't tried with sheltered plants yet.

Um....then I don't know actually. I haven't had any of mine die. I tend to them every day with wedding, etc.

My high level gardeners have plants reverting to dirt piles all the time. Sometimes after going into CAS from a mirror, sometimes after returning from a lot, sometimes after fertilizing a plant, sometimes after harvesting a plant, sometimes upon changing seasons. Different things seem to affect my plants into reverting into dirt, and this is in a sheltered greenhouse, I don’t think tree’s are ever supposed to revert to dirt, but mine do. It is a problem the dev’s have said is fixed, but for many of us it’s not. And I have never used mods or CC in my sims4 game (but do own all the packs ). So yeah, it’s a known problem. And in my game it is actually game breaking for many sims in my rotation. Plants reverting to dirt has been going on for quite awhile in my game. Probably the most game breaking bug ever in my game.

There is a discussion called:
Plants are still reverting. :(
A few pages down, in this discussion area

Do you have mods installed? A lot of the gardening mods available are currently causing plants to die pretty soon.

I'm having an issue of some harvestables going directly into the family inventory all the time instead of the Sim that does the harvesting inventory. It's quite annoying because I want my sims to only sell via the grocery store vendor.

Gardening is completely broken right now. I've been taking a break for few days from playing Sims 4 because of it.
It's so frustrating because almost all my Sims have a garden. Crops revert to dirt piles all the time and when they don't, the harvestables go to the family inventory if my Sims don't harvest them immediately in the morning.
Gardening used to be one of my favorite things in Sims 4 and now when it's gone I don't know what to do with the Sims who were making their income by gardening.

Yeah, THIS. I have a particular long running save with a Sim farmer. At least 60 plants. A farm. Everything from mushrooms to plums to blackberries and everything in between. Being a farmer is his "job." Just as you said I had to put that game on hold as it is just not worth the aggravation.

It's kind of funny because gardening was almost the only thing that EA did that I thought was well done. Oh well.

I didn't have any problem while gardening, I have a Seasons EP, it's better to put your plant inside the house using a gardening box/pot, create a room like a greenhouse because when you put your plants outside and the current season is not the same as a plant season, a plant will become dirt, but when you put a plant inside the house a plant status become sheltered, basically it just needs a room with a roof to make a sheltered status, you can use replace the wall with fences, but there are also plants that can be planted in all seasons so just put that plant outside.

Just bring outside your plant when the current season is the same as a plant season, one day before the season changes don't forget to bring back a plant go back to your greenhouse, don't forget to pollinate with bees to make your plant perfect quality, some tips you can buy a sprinkle so you don't need to water the plants every day, but you can't raise your gardening skill, upgrade sprinkle to prevent puddle when inside a greenhouse cause puddle can make sims uncomfortable, when your sims have a high skill on gardening you can fast weeding, bug spraying, and harvesting plant because one harvest = area harvest, one weed = area weed, one bug spraying = area bug spraying, and more, like a super sell (sell nearby harvestable), sell harvestable, so your harvestable will sold automatically (not saved in your sims inventory), don't forget to "study" a fossil to make your sims focus so you can improve your skills quickly while in focus mood.

And don't forget to check a season calendar when you have a Seasons EP.

Q: But how to place a tree inside a greenhouse? it's too big.
A: To create a greenhouse for the tree plants, you just need a room with 2 levels.

Q: How to pollinate a plant with bees?
A: First thing you must buy Bee Box and then Bond with Bees until your friendship between you and bees is raising, so a collect swarm option is unlocked, when the swarm is collected it can be found inside your sims inventory, go walk around your plant and choose the option "pollinate nearby plant", pollinate with bees is like fertilize the nearby plant, so you no need to fertilize a plant again.

Q: How you can fast-moving a plant?
A: Use build mode, so you can put your plant in your household inventory, that does not make your plant back to dirt.
