The garden plants are being a bit.......wonky

It's most definitely a bug. I too, have several Perfect Quality plants that jump in evolution, especially when there is a change in your community's Eco state (Industrial, Neutral, Green).

There are several bugs with gardening right now. Some plants don't even show correctly. The basil plant is for example only a basil seed now. Even after planting it it stays a seed

If I remember correctly, it was mentioned in the life stream that the quality of plants would be affected by the economic state of the neighbourhood. So it might not even be a bug.

Are there any other plants than basil affected? I did not notice any other plants not showing correctly.

Tomato, strawberry, apple and pear can only be planted in pots. If planted on the ground they disappear but the sim will keep trying to plant them

So that might be the reason my current sims plants are all perfect, when they were normal/nice. I moved them from Evergreen Harbor to Mua Pel'am, Sulani. Most of the plants reverted back to "planted" state, and wouldn't grow at all a couple of sim-weeks.

Now most of the 45-50'ish plants are back to mature and blooming, and they are ALL perfect. Mua Pel'am currently has a green footprint. I have a greenhouse with sprinklers, all planted directly on the ground. No planters/pots.

I can see how your idea might make sense @83bienchen, but it's not because of the Eco EP. It's happening to my Sims gardens and I don't own the pack. Three times now my Sim's garden has devolved and popped down to just dirt clumps for absolutely no reason at all since the June 3rd patch. :(

Edit: The garden I'm talking about is in Mua Pel'am as well. Unfortunately though, the first time they went to dirt clumps they were in the ground outside, the next two times they were in the large planter boxes in a greenhouse. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason for when it happens either. One time all I did was move the planter boxes with the plants in them around in the greenhouse. The other times, I didn't touch them at all. What's weird too is once not all of them went back to clumps, only about half of them scattered among 4-5 planter boxes in the Greenhouse.

Mine went back to clumps after travelling, maybe that was the trigger for you as well?

I tried to plant a soy bean in a pot inside an apartment, but it wouldn't let me. It said that the seed failed to germinate as it needed a more open space. Can soy beans not be planted inside?

I don't have the eco pack and my plants are definitely broken :(

I successfully planted soy bean in a vertical planter which was in the greenhouse. The walls are medium height, not sure if that makes a difference
