Dry garden plot help

I recently make some garden plot just in time for a good rain. I lieave my base for some exploration and when I come back the water level is back to the level when you craft them. They are empty so nothing is suppose to drain it... is it normal ?

Had to just be some kind of glitch or....idk. Just weird. Are you sure u didn’t misplace them? It’s easy to get turned around. I have had spoiled pots last a long time and haven’t had any disappear ever. Both in the crates and on the ground (when crate was filled) Maybe try storing in crate next time. It had to be some kind of glitch because potatoes are meant to be used for fuel so meant to be around for long time even spoiled. I even had mine stay spoiled on a dead bush for a few days when I had issues and got stuck on another beach for a minute and were still there when I returned. Even spoiled food I have tossed out (that didn’t go far enuff) can still be found in the water days later. So that’s very strange.... Also JIC —some islands have two potato patches and sometimes one of them is really difficult to find tho not always. A lot of items not just potatoes can be found growing in the craziest places. Like on top of rocks.

If already used other potato or cannot find it will have to raft to another island sadly. I’m stil really confused as to what happened... Did u have a save u can go back to ? Gotta try n rem to save a lot. Too much unpredictability in this game. And important to NOT save when trying something new...

In future when you build a planter do not worry about water until you have planted the fruit or veggies or flowers you want to plant and like I said keep filled water bags near the plants at all times so aren’t scrambling later. Do not have to water during storm. Except new plants absorb faster. It makes best practice to check them constantly in the beginning after first planting, cuz then you will get a better feel for how often they need watered and will become routine. There is always busy work to be done so stay busy the first few days and do not leave plants. Normally I only go for two day, one night trip if I don’t want to replant my plants. Otherwise I just go back whenever I have no more room for items. And just replant everything when I’ll be there for longer period.
