How to Get White Pumpkins Fast

Steps for Farming White Pumpkins Quickly

Buy Pumpkin Starts Plant the Starts Water the Pumpkins every day Check Pumpkin Color Replant the White Pumpkins Harvest the Pumpkins again

Buy Pumpkin Starts

Pumpkin Starts can be bought from both Nook's Cranny for 280 Bells or Leif for 140 Bells. Leif will sell them all year round while Timmy and Tommy only stock them during October.

Plant the Pumpkin Starts

Day 1	Day 2	Day 3	Day 4

You can plant Pumpkin Starts by directly planting them from your inventory or by digging a hole and then planting them with a shovel. It takes four days for a pumpkin to reach its fully-grown stage.

Water the Pumpkins Every Day

You get more Pumpkins if you make sure to water them. You only need to water them twice while growing them to get the maximum of three, but it might be easier to water the first batch every day to make sure!

How to Get the Watering Can

Check the Pumpkin Colors

Once four days have passed, you can check to see if the pumpkins have grown into the color you want. If it is not a White Pumpkin, you need to buy Pumpkin Starts and plant them again.

Replant the White Pumpkins

You can use the harvested pumpkins to grow more of the same color. Use a shovel to dig a hole, then plant one of your White Pumpkins to grow more.

Harvest the Pumpkins Again

Harvest Cycle
> > >

Harvesting your Pumpkins resets them to the 2 day stage, giving you exactly two days (the day you harvest and the day after) to water them again. Water all your White Pumpkins twice and you will get 3 pumpkins per White Pumpkin plant.

Eating pumpkins, much like you can with fruits, turnips, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots, can get you up to 10 points of stamina that allows you to things you cannot normally do in the game.
