oh wait i think that's my seed pouch but why can i still not use other items like the clippers? i've tried emptying all seeds in hand into the plots and still it says my hands are full.
it was the trash from cleaning up a pile of rubbish at the start of the game. i read somewhere in the comments that sometimes bertie's dialogue glitches over and over again - which mine did. i restarted the game and dumped the trash in the hole on the first day before bertie ever showed up. i don't thiiiiink i'll have the same problem again but we'll see!
hm that's strange, there was a similar bug awhile back but we fixed it at the time... sorry for the inconvenience!
if you are still interested in playing, you could try following the steps in this old comment and see if it fixes the loop, or share the debug info and i can try investigating the issue further
