Pumpkin

The Pumpkin is one of Grow a Garden''s most iconic single-harvest crops, and its economic story is all about size. Unlike fixed-yield plants, Pumpkin value scales heavily with the weight of the produce you pull, so two Pumpkins from the same seed can sell for wildly different amounts. That variance is the whole game with this crop: you are not just farming a flat sell price, you are farming for the heaviest possible specimen.

Because weight drives the payout, Pumpkin is the textbook target for size-boosting mutations and multipliers. Layer Gold or Rainbow onto an already-large Pumpkin and the multiplicative bonus compounds against a high base weight, which is exactly where the biggest single-harvest sales in the game tend to come from. A small Pumpkin is mediocre income; a mutated heavyweight is a jackpot.

Strategically, Pumpkin suits players who can be patient and selective: hold for the largest growths rather than dumping small ones, and time your harvest around any active weight or value events. It is an accessible crop early but rewards late-game mutation infrastructure most of all.
