Ahhhhhh! Help me!

 I've noticed where if I purchased [5] Strawberries from the caravan, I could brew them all and get their respective seeds. However, upon going to repeat the process for the harvested crop, I can no longer brew the strawberries, and in the kitchen screen, the strawberries do not have brewing even listed as a possibility, even though prior it had been an option (and turned on). I'm assuming one of the following things:

A) Certain crops have bush forms/forms that require processing before they may be brewed

-or-

B) There is a glitch with some harvested crops where they have a different... "identity" of sorts, where they are not like their "un-bugged"versions brought by embark/caravans.               (2 versions of the same crop, the harvested version is bugged, but the purchased version is not)

I read elsewhere that the plantable seeds available in the menu for a given season are determined by the current season, not the season you've selected. So. Wait until summer and see if anything changes?

^This.

 It happened to me on my embark where cave wheat and pig tails weren't available as options to plant, even though I had the seeds for it. However, when it became summer, the options became available not only for the normal planting seasons of summer and autumn, but also for spring and winter as well. Unfortunately, my game corrupted itself before I could see if the dwarves would plant crops out-of-season.

DF has taught me that it's not the end of the journey, nor the journey itself, but the bandits who rob you that make the fun happen
Also thrips.

With enemy forces invading towns, will they be bringing with them siege weapons? If so, can the location of their construction be traced, or are they generated?

Thank you in advance, Toady.

I've encountered this glitch myself with military, I fixed it by causing a cave-in a few tiles over. I'm certain there's a better way to fix it though.
