- Wow, this kind of solution hasn't occurred to me. Nice one! I have a bog house, so can grow all the herbs I want privately -- but I'm glad TS made this change, because there's been a lot of grief over this.
  Having said that, I'm sure not everyone will be happy ;-p

- Is there a time limit? Many a time I planted in the gardens I never come back for the flowers.

- @glitchlog: "So migrant gardeners can have time to admire their work, public plots'll be locked to the seed planter for 60 seconds after harvestin time."

- ok, good - so the seeds I plant and abandon will still be harvestable by others, right? I don't want to feel obliged to come and get them :)

- Next they'll complain about the time not being long enough.

- Will there be a name change next? The Former-Community Garden Rental Company or something of the sort?

- I'm looking forward to a group of needy harvesters hovering around that one patch that will be one of theirs after 60 seconds...I can see further friction ensuing... just saying :)

- Hopefully this will solve the community gardens fiasco.

- This change will have zero downside for the generous people who plant things for others to harvest. This change will have minimal downside for free-spirited people who look for unclaimed herbs, whether or not they replant before they depart. This change will make life better for herb-wanting people who plant and manure their own seeds in the hope of a harvest. Reduced guarding behaviors will improve the garden atmosphere.
  The only play style seeing a negative impact is pvp conflict over who can first grab a new sprout. Such pvp grab-contests aren't my idea of community. I think the community nature of the herb gardens has been improved and not lessened.

- Ooooh!! Now I can finish that herb quest! Great solution TS!! Well done!

- It seems like the lock should last indefinitely, as long as you (who planted the seed) are still in the garden. If you leave, then it's fair game.

- The lock was much longer than 60 seconds on the Yellow Crumb I just tried to harvest. It was definitely more than 4 minutes then someone else harvested it, don't know if it was the original planter or another glitch who got in after unlock.
