Short answer
A Garden Field going quiet is usually caused by overthinking or feeling taken for granted, not indifference; they rarely ghost cruelly and often feel guilty about any silence.
Silence means different things from different people. For some types it is a goodbye, for others a sulk, for others a nap that lasted four days. This page reads the silence through the birthday type, so you can tell a pause from an ending and send one sensible message instead of nine.

Why a Garden Field goes quiet
Garden Fields draft and redraft. Sometimes they spend so long on the perfect reply that the moment passes, and then the guilt of replying late makes it harder to reply at all.
The other cause is quiet burnout. If they feel like they are doing all the caring and getting little back, they may slowly pull away, hoping you notice. When they do end things, they usually want to do it kindly, even if it takes time.

If you send one message, send this
'No pressure to reply perfectly. I just want to know how you are.'
Send it once. If nothing comes back, that is an answer too, and you did not spend a month guessing.

If you are the Garden Field
If you are the Garden Field, the perfect reply does not exist. A short honest one sent today beats a beautiful one sent next week.
The Earth pattern
Earth rarely leaves on impulse. When it goes quiet, it is usually a decision made over time (the Mountain) or a reply drafted eleven times and never sent (the Garden Field).
