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.
