Pumpkin

Pumpkin is a crop that can be harvested from a pumpkin crop after it matures. Harvesting yields 1–4 pumpkins at a time, and it is grown from Pumpkin Seeds as part of farming. Like other spreading crops, pumpkins can extend onto adjacent tiles, which means they are more likely to spread multiple times once established.

When using the Plant Book to check or manage the crop, the important spot is the spreading vine itself rather than the tile where the seed was originally planted. This matters because pumpkins and watermelons are handled through their vine growth, not just their starting square. An optimized layout used for quarry-style farming also works for watermelons and pumpkins, so they benefit from the same kind of open, repeatable planting pattern.

• Pumpkins are disliked by Rayne, although Rayne accepts other vegetables.
• Clover, Franklyn, and Ted Selly dislike vegetables in general, which includes pumpkins.
• Because pumpkins can spread to other squares, leaving room around the crop improves the chance of extra growth and repeated spread.
• The crop’s output is variable, so a single harvest can produce anywhere from one to four pumpkins.
