Red plant names when you can't assign crops mean that it's too late in this season to plant anything; switch to the next.

As for the comment on red plots above, I believe that happens when your farmers can't find seeds.

As for my red plots, I always have lots of seeds available.  By lots, I mean 100 - 200 for each type.  The red shows up for every single plant species, on every plot.  It often seems to happen near the end of winter.  I wonder if for some reason the growing seasons end in mid-winter and nothing is allowed to happen until spring.  There's not even crops standing in the fields to be harvested.

At any rate, I'm not short on seeds, so that's not it.  Smiley

As I told you.
There's a short period when you can't plant seeds because the season is almost over.

You cannot designate crops mid-season; any changes you make for the current season will not apply until next year.

Sorry, I was responding to Zorgn, not to you.  You posted while I had the reply window open.  Thank you.

I do have a copy of that wiki page, btw.  It says nothing about all crops being red because it is too late in the season to change the selection for the next year.  It only says that the changes won't apply until next year.  Wink

"You cannot designate crops mid-season" means that they are not avaliable for designation (red).

Ah. I've only noticed the problem when I was out of seeds, so I assumed that was what was causing it.

Strictly speaking, you can't apply a change next year if you can't make it this year, but nevermind.  I got my answer.  Thank you.  Smiley
