How to Get the Bitter Melon Seed in Grow a Garden
You can get the Bitter Melon Seed as a reward from the Rat Connoisseur, the new NPC at the “Connoisseur Food Reviews” stand. You’ll need to feed him mutated food to get a choice of three random rewards. The Bitter Melon has a 3% chance of appearing as one of those choices.
What is the Bitter Melon Seed in Grow a Garden?
The Bitter Melon is a new Legendary crop that is multi-harvest, meaning it will continue to produce fruit after you collect it. However, its main characteristic is that it takes a very long time to grow compared to most other plants in the game.
Despite the slow growth, the Bitter Melon is a pretty good plant. It has an average base value of around 77,000 Sheckles, but larger fruits (around 5kg) can reach a base value of up to 150,000 Sheckles without any mutations. This makes it a solid, if slow, investment for your garden.
