How long are crops good for once they are ready to be harvested? Seems like they have a small window before they go bad.
In my experience, the expiration window is proportional to the time it takes to grow a crop, but I've never gone to the trouble of deriving exact times. (Hence, Perfection will wilt quickly, whereas it takes Triffids much longer to die.) According to one source I was reading (sorry, it was a while ago and I can't recall where it was), the expiration window is actually equal to the grow time.
One other point about dead crops relates to visitors. When a visitor taps on one of your buildings, it resets the collection timer for that property. But in the case of the Cletus farm, a visitor's tap works differently. If a visitor taps on the farm when the crop is waiting to be harvested, it resets the expiration timer; in fact, if the crop is dead, the tap supposedly revives it and resets the timer. Again, this is all according to other sources; I have not been able to test this personally.
