🌿 Grow a Garden August 2 Update (v1.17.0) — Cooking, Trading & Grand Tomato!
Published: August 2, 2025 — Version 1.17.0
🚨 The Grow a Garden update is finally here! Dropped on August 2 at 14:00 UTC, this patch introduces some major game-changing features: a brand-new Trading Hub, an exciting hourly Cooking Event, and the coveted Gourmet Seed Pack. New items, pets, seeds, and a reworked trading system are now live!
🤝 New Trading Hub
Trade smarter, not harder! The Trading Hub is now open, letting players safely exchange fruits, pets, and Sheckles using Trade Tickets (available in the gear shop). Seeds, however, are not tradable.
🍳 Hourly Cooking Event
Head to the cauldron and start mixing! The new Cooking Event challenges players to combine ingredients into dishes and feed them to the NPC Chris P.. In return, you'll earn:
- 🎁 Gourmet Seed Packs
- 🥚 Gourmet Eggs (with new pets!)
- 👕 Exclusive cosmetics
- 🎉 Other fun rewards
🍅 Grand Tomato — The Star of the Gourmet Pack!
One of the most exciting additions in this update is the Divine-tier Grand Tomato—a shiny red crop that’s not only rare but also super valuable! 🌟
- 🎯 Drop Rate: 0.5% chance from a Gourmet Seed Pack
- 💰 Base Value: ~82,000 Sheckles per full harvest
- 🌿 Harvest: Multi-harvest (3–4 fruits per cycle)
- 🔥 Use: High-value trading + essential cooking item
It’s one of six brand-new seeds introduced in this update:
- 🧅 Onion
- 🌶️ Jalapeño
- 🍈 Crown Melon
- 🍬 Sugarglaze
- 🌿 Tall Asparagus
- 🍅 Grand Tomato
🌱 How Grand Tomato Works
The Grand Tomato behaves like its regular cousin, but on steroids! 💪 Being a multi-harvest plant, it grows over several cycles, and the taller it gets, the more fruits it yields. Perfect for power players looking to maximize value!
💡 Ideal uses:
- ✨ Turn it into high-value dishes during Cooking Events
- 💹 Trade harvested crops in the Trading Hub
- 🎁 Get rare items, pets, or major stacks of Sheckles
