Summary

How to get pumpkins in Animal Crossing New Horizons?

Pumpkins – Animal Crossing New Horizons

The process for getting pumpkins is not immediate. Indeed, you have to cultivate them yourself. So the first step is to buy Sprouts from Root or the Nook Shop. Know that it is also more advantageous to go through Racine on the shoots are at 140 bells per unit on his stand against 280 at the Nook.

You then have to plant these shoots where you can and wait three days for the final product. We also strongly recommend that you water your plants every day to increase the number of pumpkins you will harvest at the end. Be aware that the plans stay and regrow after harvest.

What are the different types of pumpkins?

There are a total of four kinds of pumpkins or rather four colors. So there is :

orange pumpkins
green pumpkins
yellow pumpkins
white pumpkins

The colors are totally random and you won't know the type until the day of harvest. Animal Crossing New Horizons tends to give you a lot more orange pumpkins though. Also know that a shoot will continue to give the same color with each harvest.

What can you do with pumpkins?

Pumpkins are needed for crafting special furniture listed below. As for the base material, we will have to be patient since we are not given plans right away. Indeed, they are obtained on October 31 in exchange for candies. So even if you have accumulated hundreds of pumpkins, they will be useless if you don't do the event on the same day.

Fortunately, Animal Crossing New Horizons is not that unfair and it is possible to have the furniture without crafting it. To do this, your Nook Store must be in its final phase to have the part of more seasonal items. During the month of October, you will find Halloween-themed furniture there to avoid missing them on the 31st for lack of candy or pumpkins.
