Pumpkin

Pumpkins are items in introduced in the 1.5.0 Fall Update that are used as crafting materials. They are grown from Pumpkin Starts, which can be purchased from Nook's Cranny during October or Leif every month, with pumpkins being discounted during October. s can also be obtained from villagers who are crafting during the month of October if the player has already learned the Spooky Series DIY recipe they are crafting or during Turkey Day when exchanging ingredients.

Pumpkins are primarily used to craft the Spooky Series, and as ingredients for Franklin to cook the dish on Turkey Day. Since, Pumpkins can also be used in cooking recipes.

Growth
Once planted, pumpkins take three days to fully grow and will produce one to three of pumpkins depending on how much they are watered. For example, if a pumpkin plant is watered on two days, it will produce three pumpkins; if it is watered on one day, it will produce two, and it will produce a single pumpkin if not watered at all.

Once ripe, pumpkins can be either orange, green, yellow, or white, with a 70% chance of them being orange and a 10% of them being green, yellow, or white. Once pumpkins are picked, they will regrow starting at the second stage of growth. It is also possible to replant a specific pumpkin color to only cultivate that specific pumpkin color (e.g. a Green Pumpkin produces a Green Pumpkin Sprout).

Use in crafting
s are used as a crafting material and a cooking ingredient for various DIY and cooking recipes, while s, s, and s are primarily a cooking ingredient and can additionally be used to customize the appearance of Spooky Series items in place of s.
