Wait until the beginning of the new year.

It's gotta be Winter in your fort, in the last ~10 days of the month of Obsidian, which means that it's about 10 days until the game year ends. Normally, when a plant doesn't have enough time left in its growable period to actually be planted and mature, it shows up in red on the farm plot menu. Plump Helmets, though, have a year-round growable period, so they seemingly shouldn't ever show up as red, but they do at the end of the year anyway. Once the year turns, they'll turn white again and your farmers will be able to plant more.

Has that always been the case with plump helmets ? 'Cause I swear I've never noticed it before (probably, because I just set it on plump helmets all year round and leave it at that).
