Gardening FPS bug

Does anyone else have a problem with their fps when gardening?

I have played this game for a long time, maybe across the span of 8 years now, but I have only encountered this bug within the last few months. Whenever I casts a 'large area of effect spell' for example, Monsoon, my computers fps hits the floor for a while. Now I do not know why and I certainly know my computer easily has the specs to satisfy the graphical needs of this game.

Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how do I fix it; if not, how can I report this bug so it gets resolved. On the worst of days this fps bug causes my game to freeze.

Thanks!

Yes,

This has been occurring for a few years now.

It's of course frequent when you have just returned to check on your plants after many hours.

It has recently started happening to me.

I ascribed to having too many plants growing.

I have had this issue for a long time. I have seen mine lock up for 10-15 minutes or more to the point I have to hit the "X" in the corner to get out of the game then log back in and try again.

The only thing that seems to help is to use a single 3 pip spell on one of the plants FIRST. It is not a cure all but it does help when casting the large area spells.
