Hey so did anyone else plant A LOT of pumpkins?

[MochiACNL]

I planted some around my island for the farming vibes as well! It gave me something to put in empty spots I didn't know what to do with. Empty corner? Throw in a tiny crop corner and some hay haha

Lobo has a small farm spot on my island, I’ve planted 45 pumpkins there. Can’t wait to see them mature! I’d even plant more, but I have a lot of very wild flowers taking over my plateau, so there’s a lot of cleaning and decorating to do, even without the extra pumpkins. lol

I find it so nice that people who have enough space plant more, so they can help others out.

i planted 30, but i plan to have 12 of them orange and 18 of other colors (6 from each other color).
u can plant the pumpkins themself like u do with fruit so u just need one of each color in order to duplicate it.

once u have 30 pumpkins if u water them every day u should get 90 pumpkins every 2 days
thats alot. i think u need 88 orange ones total for all the diy,

I've planted around 200 atm, I am trying to get 10 plants of each color lol... but uhh the rates are pure dog poopy :T

okay wait i didnt think to try planting the other colors to get more/duplicate REEEE..

Lol, not quite that much! I planted a lot initially and have cut back (I now have six of each color) but, even though I didn't realize they weren't single harvest type items, I figured I had plenty of time to plant more (and not a ton of free space on my island to plant a bunch, lol).

Yep, planting the different colored ones allows you to grow more of that color- that's how I filled out my patches with the colors I still needed!

good to know! i read that the colors that grow are random, so i didnt even think to replant those I already harvested

 

[saucySheep]

HAHAHAH only about 200-300

The colors from the SPROUTS you buy from Leif or the Nooklings are random- but the ones you grow from the actual pumpkins aren't.
...Unless I've just had weird luck getting the exact colors from the ones I've planted, which I doubt

 

[saucySheep]

Also, just a comment, is anyone else disgusted by the way the starter pumpkins look? they look so weird

Yeah makes a lot more sense lmfao, It just gave me flashbacks to the mobile game and the events w/ terrible rates x__x''

and didnt wanna pull my hair out over it so I overcompensated.....

I planted about 30 initially to get some different ones! Now I'm having a 4x3 patch of each type and then some scattered around the place. Didn't know that you could replant a single one directly to get the colour desired until reading this thread, so that will save me some time getting my green ones finished up!

 

[Snek]

Yes of course! I have been super busy planting pumpkins by the truckload and then TT'ing. From what I've gathered on my island, pumpkin colour is up to chance. Orange is the most common, white and yellow are average and green is the rarest. Planting tons of pumpkins help increase odds of getting the green ones. Now I am sorting every pumpkin by color, harvesting and trashing the orange pumpkins to make room for new starts.

2 Islands to decorate so I planted lots. Island 1 has 108 and Island 2 has 117.
One Island I want to change the color on the Halloween items to match the island.
Island 2 isn't complete so I have lots of room to plant more.

 

[KittenNoir]

I went a bit crazy I’m sure I have like 30 that I planted I didn’t get any white pumpkins tho I got all the other colours but not white

 

[th8827]

I put 30 on my farm.

 

[azurill]

I now have 30 in my pumpkin patch. I might plant some more later. Right after I planted them it started to rain.

 

[Briar]

I planted 50 for now! I might plant some more though depending on which colors the ones I planted turn out to be

 

[John Wick]

I did, but the novelty has worn off.

 

[Your Local Wild Child]

I got a bunch down on my forest floor but my big plan is to have green pumpkin plants literally EVERYWHERE (as they’re my favorite variation) so I need to wait for those to sprout.

 

[LuchaSloth]

I went back and planted probably about 50 or 60 more. Just thinking about time lost in waiting for them to grow...in which case, the more I can have when they're ready, the better. Also...they just go a long way in making my whole island look more festive. So, I'm kinda putting them wherever I can fit them in at this point.
