I would love to know how people get massive pumpkins in their gardens. I can never find that many ghosts and critters to achieve that size. Is it luck or is there a trick involved?

I wonder the same thing.  I have used massive amounts of coins in the hour you have to grow the pumpkin.  And still I could only get it up to 40 pounds.  At least I got the acorn pot.

You need to put in some preprep - go through the wildlife guides and open as many tabs where critters may be due as you can - close any where critters won’t be due within that hour - try to target some crow gardens or get friends to set up with the critters that drop a lot of weight - and then when you are ready, dust up your pumpkin and water through your tabs - and yep can cost a bit in gold to get that sort of growth but you will never grow your pumpkins to that size without all the prep work :)

Adding to Peta.....make sure your plates are due as well....and advertise.

My cousin grew her pumpkin 12 ibs when she spotted a Ghostly Loch Ness in my garden. Think some of the other Underwater Ghostlies add more than the mice, but not so easy to spot.

Thank you all for your input.

@Sharon, it would be good to know that info.  Many probably don't realise that the ghostly UW wildlife also grow pumpkins as there's nothing in the guide about this at all - it only states what is dropped, nothing about pumpkin growing.  I would always look for crows as I knew they gave the most lbs if spotted but I actually don't know about how many lbs each wildlife grows a pumpkin and I don't think any of the fan sites have this information either.

The lbs you get are the same as the number of diamonds which the wildlife gives.  So for example the crow gives 10 diamonds, and adds 10lb.

Paula the wildlife spotted grows the pumpkin in lbs by the same amount of blue diamonds you get from them, xx

That's good to know Tracey and Agnes - where does it say that in the guide?
