(Pumpkinvale, Field Farm Plot, 3rd spring)
I planted trees in two rows, strawberry-plants and barley-plants, played the game for some hours (ingame: half a month) and the plants grew as usual.
I was able to harvest strawberries twice and replant the barley. The trees grew.
I saved the game and closed (as usual) and restarted it the next day and every plant within 3 fields next to the fence [see picture] just didn't exist anymore. The fields stayed.
I try to leave enough space next to the fences (usually 2 fields), because planting and watering doesn't always work in these areas (the same goes for placing objects - including placing objects inside the small house, when it's situated right next to the fence), but vanishing plants, which were already growing for several days, is new. And sad :(
Missing plants and trees [ignore the two empty 4by4-fields - I didn't plant anything there, yet]
Yes, plants near the fence vanished after restart. You just have to save the game before quit then freshessays it will resolve your problem and still you find the issue the mail to the customer department.
