There is some kind of crazy bug right now, in Grow A Garden, and it’s making gameplay pretty difficult.
Whenever there’s a new update, there tends to be a few bugs, but there appears to be a number of bugs right now in the game, which is making it really hard to harvest and grow your crops, and the official Discord is FLOODED with bug reports on these issues.
The egg timer isn’t going down when you leave the game, crafting timer isn’t going down when you leave the game, crops are not growing when you leave the game, and you can’t harvest your crops quickly.
![Why Are My Crops Not Growing In Grow A Garden? [Prehistoric Update BUG]](https://www.durbinrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/IMG_0387.jpeg)
Normally, when you leave the game for 30 minutes, when you return, you get the flash bang white light screen to show you before and after, and how much your garden grew while you were gone. However, that feature is currently not happening, and when you leave the game, none of your crops are growing.
I did the Mega Harvest Event, and harvested all of my crops and many Sugar Apples, and came back to the game 50 minutes later, ready to harvest my regrown fruit. However, even after nearly an hour, none of my fruit had grown at all in the hour I left the game.
Plus, when you are harvesting your fruit either by collecting normally, or using the Harvest Tool, it is insanely, insanely slow so you can’t harvest crops quickly.
This means, the Mega Harvest Event is almost impossible to do, because you can’t harvest your crops quick enough to get to the high levels of points for the rewards.
You also can’t open seed packs without the screen freezing, and you can’t collect the Lucky Harvest free seeds that are floating in the air either – these are pretty big bugs to happen at the same time, with less than three hours until the update launches.
Another issue, is the timer on eggs are not going down, when you leave the game. The timer is just freezing when you leave the game and go offline, instead of carrying on, so you have to be in-game for the egg timers to go down.
I don’t know why these issues are happening, but the game is so slow and glitchy. Even with rejoining, and trying another device, it’s impossible to harvest fruit right now. I really hope they fix these issues before the update, but I’ll keep you updated on these annoying glitches – these issues are happening in version v1474.
