I have had somewhat the same problem as .lin on and off since patch 1.7 was released. My game is patched to 1.7.
The growth of plants get stuck sometime between 1 and 6-7 days after they were planted. I never got to the point were plant become barren. When the problem happens, there are no other options than dispose or fertilize (or view for green thumb), and weeds don't grow. Plants in the neighbourhood (wild plants and at neighbours) don't grow either (I have tried harvesting them, fruits won't re-grow). When I dispose of all plants, new planted seeds will grow and the problem will happen again after a few days. If I don't dispose of all plants on my lot, new planted seeds won't grow.
I have done lots of testing with the mods I have, with mixed results. I can't reproduce the issue with the vanilla game alone, or with awesomemod alone. I've tried to remove different mods (even if not affecting gardening or plants at all) without results. So I am at a loss about what causes the problem and am about to try updating to the latest patch to see if things improves. I just thought maybe the problem is linked to rare and special plants, as I only used common plants in my testing.
Anyways, I thought I would just add to this thread, in case anybody has any insight on this problem or managed to solve this successfully in their own game.
