Along with many new activities during the spooky season to come with the newest fall update in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the option to plant pumpkin seeds. Planting them is pretty simple, however, getting specific pumpkin colors may be a bit of a challenge.
The long-awaited fall update is finally available for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Many new ways to decorate islands and customize the player characters are now possible. Apart from the introduction of pumpkins, many Halloween-themed furniture pieces can be crafted or collected, and players have brand new options to customize their characters to look ooky-spooky, such as with different skin colors and accessories like horns and vampire teeth. Most of these activities won’t be happening until Halloween rolls around in New Horizons, so for now, players will need to focus on pumpkin growing do craft those DIYs.
Growing pumpkins in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is very simple. After purchasing some seeds from Tom Nook for 280 bells or Leif for a discounted price of 140 bells and planting them, the player must wait three days for the vegetable to sprout and to see its color. The player can also end up with more than one pumpkin if they are tended to properly. Some sources say the player will only need to water them twice to get all three pumpkins to sprout, while other sources say to water them each day for a total of three times.
There are four pumpkin colors, all with different levels of rarity. Orange pumpkins are the most common, while yellow and white ones are marked as “uncommon.” And green pumpkins are the rarest, and figuring out how to grow a specific pumpkin color is the most difficult part. At first, there is no trick to it. There is only one kind of pumpkin seeds that can be purchased, meaning the pumpkin colors are chosen at random. However, after they are fully grown, like regular fruit, pumpkins can be picked and planted again. This time, they will sprout the same color as the one that’s been planted.
Though the Halloween update is now available for players to update their games with, keep in mind that pumpkin growing won’t actually begin until October. Navigating over to Nook’s shop won’t show any pumpkin seeds for sale from the cabinet if it’s still locally September. So for those looking to get a move on for pumpkin DIYs, they’ll have to wait another day. At least players will no longer have to sport strangely designed hats on dirt as makeshift pumpkins.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is out now for the Nintendo Switch.
