Hey so did anyone else plant A LOT of pumpkins?

[Nodokana]

I planted around 80 pumpkins.

*raises hand* Guilty

Just like many others here, I really couldn't help myself! I have a patch near my orchard. Dom and I share a yard, and Agnes manages the pumpkin patch, but all three of us work together to get the job done. I also have a pumpkin patch near Nook's Cranny, and that's were I decided to place my spooky carriage. I can see why so many really like this item, it looks amazing! My other favorites include the candy set, standing lamp, arch and tower.

Currently in my storage I have about 200 orange pumpkins. They're clearly the most common but I'm okay with that because they're my favorite and my preference of color.

I'm real glad to know that pumpkins continue to grow year-round so I don't have to worry that they'll wither. I can keep my happy little pumpkin patch that my soon turn into a full-scale farm! Now I'm curious; would someone take the time to flatten a huge section of their island dedicated to just growing pumpkins? I'd really like to see that! ☺

I will be planting a TON of green pumpkins EVERYWHERE... I just need to get my starter crop going.

 

[xTurnip]

I have 12 of each color planted!

 

[hakutaku]

I'm pretty sure I planted around 20 pumpkins. Not enough, in my opinion, when you look at how many are needed for the DIY projects lol. I only have one pumpkin patch though, so what can ya do?

 

[eko]

That...that's a lot of pumpkins. More opportunities to get a variety of colors, though! How long did this take you?

I've only planted 15-20, but I may add a few more as I do have the space. Good luck to everyone on their watering adventures!

yeah, thankfully i got an abundance of rare colors! oh gosh... i know it took at least 2 hours haha

I think i bought over 100, assuming you’d dig them up after they fully grew. Then finding out that they respawned.

I mean I don’t mind having that many, since I can probably trade with friends for pumpkins I want

But I wouldn’t advise it, unless you’d want a certain kind.

moments like these i kind of wish that i stayed on my break from acnh a little longer to wait for all the tips/guides :'3c

Yeah, I was trying to avoid spoilers due to wanting the pumpkin items to be a surprise.
But going by things like money trees that once planted, don’t reproduce stuff and that. I kinda wasn’t expecting it.

If anything it fills in the empty voids if my town. Considering I can’t think of anything to fill it with.

 

[oak]

I planted way too many and I'm thinking I might have to dig some up lol. I got too excited.

 

[nammie]

I counted and I planted 34 in my farming area, which I think will be enough haha
might get rid of a few in the coming weeks too

 

[sarosephie]

You are definitely not alone here. I actually ended up buying an obscene amount of pumpkin spreads because I thought the odds were going to be horrifically skewed like flowers. I thought you were going to get my green ones out of like one of a hundred or something.

It seems like I just overbought.

I thought you could tell what the sprouts were immediately as you planted it and then you would dig it up. So you can imagine my face when everything kept being at Orange and I thought everything was going to be just colors.

 

[Flygon]

I bought a ton to ensure I got enough of all the rare colors. When the event is over, I'll probably trash a lot of my orange ones and put the leftovers on my flower storage island. I want to have some wild pumpkins in my overgrown areas, but I'll figure that out after October.

 

[xlisapisa]

I haven’t made it to October yet, almost there. But thank you to everyone for the helpful tips on what not to do! It will definitely save me quite some time. Really contemplating on just time traveling forward to get there faster already, but for now I’ll just take it nice and slow. It will give me a lot more time to plan where to even put my pumpkins when the time comes, my island is a crazy mess at the moment.

 

[LunaRover]

Ohhhh so they don't need to be replanted ha. I'm too used to stardew valley farming mechanics (they have plants that don't need replanting too but-) I'm one of those people who didn't plant too may but bought extra plants for after they grew lol.

 

[yourlilemogirl]

I planted a lil over 95 or so, mostly so I had a better chance at getting non-orange pumpkins. I'm slowly replacing some orange with the other colors :3 I had heard in a YT video that if you plant them then dig them up and replant the sapling, it randomizes the odds to be better chanced in getting a rare color versus 75% of the time orange

 

[peachycrossing9]

I planned on planting alot, but my island is already pretty decorated so I didn't really have the room.

I just planted three rows of 10. That's how I still have it set up on a random part of my island until I can be bothered to make a proper farm for it/find the space. Which I want to do preferably before the week of Halloween.

It's more than enough for me to do my crafting and customising with.

 

[Jhine7]

I planted 36, 9 of each color. Not too bad!

 

[Clock]

I only planted 20, I'm thinking of planting more though, but it might be too much.

 

[nightglow]

I planted 40 because I didn't know what to expect and I am glad that I did because the yellow green and white starts are like... not near as common as the orange lol. I will get rid of some after the season is over with and just have like 4 of each color or something.

 

[Sgt.Groove]

Just a few...

 

[Junalt]

I planted 70. I will probably replace some of them when/if we eventually get other vegetables to plant.
