Growing plant "none", for winter

[lewisd]

It'd be nice if, in winter, I could set my growing zone to grow "none", so that they don't waste time planting potato plants that are just going to die. I don't want to delete the zone, since I created it specifically on the "rich" dirt only, which took some time.

You could fill the growing zone with plans before deleting it, it would make it easier to recreate the next year.

+1 It would be really good with a fallow/none option like in DF.

I came up with a temporary solution for this. I made a mod (see attachment) which lets you plant grass in your growing zones. It requires some work from your farmers to grow, but it has a long lifespan and doesn't die in winter.

That's a great idea, thanks!
I also like the "none/fallow" idea, and the mod that was also mentioned.
