Try to one fc member or you, before reset, tend the plants. Sometimes, maintenance doesn't take 24 hours and you could save them.

It was announced 5 days in advance, not 48 hours: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...603428f0ab94d2

you only have yourself to blame. the maint was announced 4 days ago when it would happen. if you chose to ignore the launcher notice that also updated the same time as lodestone, how is that SE fault?
i'm not asking for a compensation for the seeds i will lose, i'm just saying an earlier warning would be nice for long downtime. 3.1 was announced ages ago, you dont have to tell me that, everyone in game knows that, but they never said anything about a downtime long enough that every garden growing stuff will be lost. i'm not asking for my items back, i'm not saying it's illegal or against the terms, i'm just saying it's lame and frustrating so maybe next time, we'll get a sooner warning.
The fact that SE can do a major Patch like this in 24 hour's is very impressive,most wouldn't complain if they know what went into these updates and what is reqired to implement them both Client and server side of the data-center. Not to mention quality cheks to ensure every-thing works as intended.
Details have been out for like what? a week now? what's 1 RL week / Eorzean time? you've had a while tbh.
you chose to plant them, if you're an avid gardener which your post kinda says you are, you should have known how long they will take to harvest and if they would be ready before servers went down.
Seriously? It's been going for years...
