Hey so did anyone else plant A LOT of pumpkins?

[Matt0106]

I planted about 30, but I'm planning on buying a ton in case I need them throughout the year.

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

haha yes you can and i actually did a giveaway

 

[Tinkeringbell]

I've planted 216 this morning. I had the space, and I am hoping I can help out others with the pumpkins I'll harvest
Also, having this many of them, it won't matter if I forget to water them, the harvest will be enormous nonetheless

 

[michealsmells]

I planted 14, and I'll happily plant a few more if I'm missing a color or something. I even have a little garden next to my house that I could easily make just a bit bigger to accommodate a few more pumpkins.

That being said, this is kinda hilarious and a very good warning to others. Do NOT go crazy with the pumpkins.

 

[dizzy bone]

If I had the space, and I hadn't known better, I probably would have done the same thing My island is very developed so I didn't have much space although I did have a designated farm area ready for this. I still managed to plant 40 pumpkins scattered around the island. Some of my little villagers have their own pumpkin patches. I also tried to give some villagers their own personal pumpkin I planted these just for aesthetic reasons though and I wont harvest them.

 

[Corrie]

Thanks for letting us know that they regrow back! I will plant less, knowing this news.

 

[AutomationAir]

My main pumpkin patch is 9 x 12, plus I planted more throughout my island... I just really like pumpkins, ok?!

 

[Manah]

Two fields with 18 pumpkins each. 30 additional pumpkin starts to replant for rare colors.

exactly omg, hilarious was what i was aiming for in sharing my shame in going overboard haha

ohh giving villagers their own pumpkin patches is such a creative idea! i ended up digging up some pumpkins and scattering them around pathways as decoration, they're such a nice aesthetic :0c also i'm glad that you knew better + didn't have the space to spare you from falling into the same situation haha

 

[meggiewes]

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

I didn't plant that many. I think I only planted around 20 because I have a small garden and a bigger community garden.

 

[LuchaSloth]

I also planted about 30. Might do some more random ones around different areas. But, my main area is planted.

 

[Debeers]

60 here. We reserved a plot for them and found out it can hold 60! At least it is just one place

 

[azurill]

I have not planted any pumpkins yet. I was able to buy some from Leif this morning before going to work. Will be planting mine later not sure how many yet.

 

[Emmsey]

I did 20 enough to fit the field I had and appear aesthetically pleasing!

 

[Fye]

I planted 15 in my farm, and 15 in a random grassy area on my island. Half of my farm is just yellow hyacinths that I'm pretending are corn so if I decide I still need 30 pumpkin plants after Halloween is over I might replace the hyacinths. Otherwise I'm planning on saving that space for future veggies

 

[Peach_Jam]

I planted 24 in my crop field and since I TT I now have well over a 100 orange pumpkins ahah. I still needa grow more of the rarer colors

 

[Imbri]

I currently have 70 planted, but once they mature and I see what I have, I'll thin it down to 4 rows of 10, 1 of each color. I bought from Leif, so I didn't mind paying the extra bells now, especially since it's cheaper than buying from the NBs.

 

[kyrynbunni]

im planning to plant around groups of 10 to 20 because im wanting specific colors for certain areas of town. i plan to just sell the orange ones as i know theyre the most common type.

 

[Le Ham]

I planted 44 (a 7x4 plot plus a 4x4) and bought another 36 starts for switching out for rarer colors. Now I've realized that may be too much, but it'll be good for mass crafting methinks

 

[Insulaire]

I planted twelve. More than enough to make one of everything this season. I don't plan to use any decorations in multiples or have them around past Halloween, so no need to get any bigger than that for me.
