Howdy farmers, welcome to the Bumpkin’s Almanac, your daily digest for the #1 Web3 game, Sunflower Land. This issue is for Saturday, February 15th, 2025.

Yesterday’s Valentine’s Day event went over great. Turns out you got the Love Heart Onesie if you gave a flower to an NPC in the past 7 days. If you forgot, you can pick one up from the Marketplace for 2 SFL as of reporting time. The other item was the Flower Boquet, which was only given to the top 100 gifters in the game. That will make it very expensive for anyone who wants to buy one!

Yesterday was also the second event day for this week, which resulted in… a Bountiful Harvest! +1 yield to all crops and fruits. Those extra Duskberries are going to be amazing… Also no negative event has yet to occur. It’s only a matter of time!

We’re nearing the end of the first ever Spring season, how has it been going for you? The two most important crops this week are Rhubarb and Corn, both of which can only be grown in the Spring. Even though real corn takes so long to mature, it’s usually ready by late summer, but oh well.

Rhubarb is currently used for the Firepit recipe Rhubarb Tart, which takes 1 minute and gives 5 XP. Stock up on a few of these, in case Peggy decides to ask for one during the Winter again.

It’s also used in the basic Compost Bin during the Spring, needing 10 per cycle, along with 5 carrots.

Fun Fact: Compost bins used to require random ingredients every cycle, based on tier (Basic crops for the basic bin, medium for Turbo, and advanced for Premium). Now their requirements are fixed, making it easier to plan!

Rhubarb in the real world takes much longer than 10 minutes to grow, but it is a perennial plant, meaning you can cut stalks off the same roots every year and use them for pies or pickling. The leaves are toxic, so dispose of them as soon as you harvest them.

That’s all for today! Be well, do good work, and farm on.
