Village and Farm 4+

So I absolutely love this game but can’t figure out how to plant the lavender. It won’t show up in my list to plant but it says I have them but won’t let me plant

I am a great fan of hayday, when I saw this game I thought it would be awesome to start all over again, but it seems all this game cares about is selling you diamonds or coins!!! I have only found one treasure chest that I did not have to pay to unlock?!! I think you should make it a little easier for farmers to advance their levels in the beginning, im afraid I will interest even before I get to a level where I would like to spend any money at all. The newspaper is so slow to sell your products that yet again you have to spend diamonds to expand the ad slots , how do you expect us to expand our farms without being able to sell our products??? I think if some of these issues were addressed I would become just as addicted to this game, please help the farmers who love the game a little and quit being so greedy about the in app purchases. Thank you for your consideration

This game quickly becomes unplayable unless you spend real money, which I refuse to do anymore. I have no friends to buy my goods so I am in a jam, with the silo and barn stuffed full and nowhere for it to go, plus getting the parts to upgrade the storage is rare unless, again, you purchase them for diamonds. I do like the diamond mine that works all the time but the storage and friends issues are so bad that I’m going to have to stop playing. I can’t move in any direction whatsoever.
