I would suggest excluding planted seeds from the removal logic.

Alternatively, you could convert seeds to "sprouts" or "young plants" soon after they are planted, instead of at the end of the growing cycle.

Having a crop which has been growing for a month suddenly disappear without explanation is not player-friendly.
