Plots disappearing

[stasiababby]

I have a large section all dug up and waiting for whatever crops I need to plant. I've never had a problem. A week or so ago, my entire crop dig sights disappeared. I thought possibly I had done something with a 'delete all' that I'd used on some path pieces. It was the only thing I could think of. Well, just now I went in game and all the empty spots are gone. Any ideas?

Related question, does anyone know if crops will wither if you keep them in the ground? That's something I wouldn't mind doing, but was thinking it might be a glitch that needs to be reported.
Thank you all!

The only thing I am aware of is you leave the plots empty for too long (I think I read 72 hrs) the plots will reset and you'd have to redig it all again if you want them.

They changed the time schedule, I believe it is 24 hours now for the empty plots to reset.

Holes you dig in ground vanish if you don't use them. The game doesn't distinguish between holes you dig for planting vs holes you dig elsewhere

Just dig new ones and make sure to plant something new every time you harvest.

So lazy players who can't cover up holes they dig around the valley gets rewarded VS. players who wanna have a nice farm is forced to plant seeds or have to redo them everytime... wonderful

When I read that people were voting to reduce it to 24 hours, I thought it was a very short-sighted decision. The original time frame made more sense.

Not everyone wants to be so strict with their time schedule.

Leave some sort of crop in those plots if you don't want to lose them. You don't need to be picking them up.

Non-Lazy players who want a nice farm will plant something new after harvesting.
The Holes don't judge. Neither should you.
