Hey so did anyone else plant A LOT of pumpkins?

[eko]

like, An Excessive Amount™ and planted hundreds thinking they had to be replanted once they're picked...?

Spoiler: so many pumpkins, oh god

please let this be a warning for everyone who hasn't planted yet haha

edit: the warning is DON'T plant a lot, the pumpkins respawn after being picked and i have so much regret for going overboard

 

[Alienfish]

I think I planted around 12 for a start, I'll probably get more later on I even moved a house to make room aha!

 

[Azrael]

Lol I planted twenty and then maybe another 10-15 after none of the first batch were green

 

[Holla]

Definitely not. I don't have the space to go too crazy. I planted 28 which for me is a good number. My garden can technically hold 30 but I wanted to include a garden hose and scarecrow for aesthetics.

 

[Sheydra]

Thinking of going around 40 here.

 

[tajikey]

I haven't yet, but I will be!

 

[Sharksheep]

Not nearly that many. I heard that the rate for the non-orange are terrible. I'm probably going to keep planting more throughout the month to get enough of each color

i spend my entire day digging up all the pumpkins, a tiny pumpkin patch that holds <25 is plenty (unless you want to go wild and craft like 10 of each decoration haha) because just remember 40 can wield up to 120 from a single harvest with no limit

 

[Baroque]

Just 15 for me. I didn't have much space left on my island and I don't think I'll need that many pumpkins either, we have a whole month to grow these things, after all. I like to think just the small batch I planted will be enough ^^'

 

[Marte]

My island now consists of seven pumpkin patches, haha. I love the farming vibe, and my island reminds me of harvest moon now.

if you want a specific color, you can just re-plant the pumpkins, like if you get a white pumpkin to grow, water it twice, that's THREE white pumpkins, giving you another twelve from a harvest :O
also you only use the orange pumpkins to craft with

 

[niko@kamogawa]

I only have enough for 18. I am not gonna rush it. And besides, I might just consider trading from players as worse case scenario.

 

[JasonBurrows]

I made a plot that can hold three lots of 18 (54) before even seeing any videos or information showing off that they regrow and so I planted accordingly. I k Pumpkin colour is random, but I did the maths my plot has the potential to be a harvest of 162.

honestly 18 is the perfect amount, i'm almost done digging up all the pumpkins and will just leave two small 12 spaced patches

Well it's the rate for the actual plant that's terrible. The early manual testing numbers I saw from the datamine talk is that it's 75% for orange and 8.3% for each of the other colors.

oh wow, so that lines up exactly with my vague estimation of it being 25% for a rare color!
here's what my harvest looked like for reference, 18 rare colors just in this patch, you're definitely fine just planting the 18

Spoiler: harvest ratio

 

[Pintuition]

I planted SO MANY! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I didn't realize when I planted that I didn't need so many. Thankfully I was able to gift a few stacks of starts to friends who hadn't planted yet. I have no clue what I'm going to do with all of these pumpkins. Haha!

Spoiler: never ending pumpkin patch #1

oh my god so i wasn't the only one honestly i think the worst part was just "buying in bulk" 5 sprouts at a time haha
also your island rep is super cute, love the orange/black halloween theme! :O

 

[Underneath The Stars]

i'm just about to plant mine today, but whew.... i don't have much space... i'll guess time to say goodbye to some of the hybrids (or orchards)

Can you replant pumpkins on other people islands like flowers? Maybe you can sell the rare color pumpkin stacks or give them away.
