I've found myself getting addicted to online games once again. I used to play Mobile Legends, Mir4, and other games before. I spent so much time and even sacrificed sleep, just to play them. I even watched YouTube tutorials to master those games.
Eventually, I stopped playing and started spending most of my time scrolling through social media. However, just a few days ago, I found myself getting hooked on a game called Grow a Garden on Roblox.
This game has been trending on various social media platforms lately. At first, I was curious: “Why are people so dedicated to playing this game?” I even thought it was just for kids and told myself, “I would never play this game.” But look who's enjoying it now!
I’ve been playing for almost a week now, and this is my current garden. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it?
Look at those beautiful flowers with a shocking mutation that makes them glow! I also added some lanterns recently to add a bit of light at night.
It looks a bit messy right now since there are some huge fruits in the way. But seeing those big, glowing fruits amazes me! I'm not harvesting them yet because I'm still waiting for them to gain more mutations.
I started with carrot seeds, then moved on to tomatoes and corn. Thankfully, some players are generous and give away fruits worth millions! One time, a random player gifted me a fruit worth that much.
The game is simple: just buy a seed, plant it, wait for it to grow, and harvest it. But here’s the catch, prismatic seeds are the rarest to get. Sometimes they restock only once every 1–3 days!
The wait for these rare seeds can be frustrating, but the joy of finally getting one is priceless.
Honestly, after a few days of playing, I felt a bit hopeless waiting for the rare seeds to restock. It got boring, and I even considered quitting.
However, last Saturday, there was an “admin abuse” event. It's like a special occasion where the admins trigger different weather effects and events that cause fruits to mutate—making them worth millions! Rare seeds and gears sometimes restock during these events too.
That event was so much fun! I was able to buy some of the rarest seeds like Beanstalk, Ember Lily, and Sugar Apple—seeds I had been waiting days for! I also got to experience events like Disco and Galactic, which caused my fruits to gain a lot of cool mutations.
I especially loved the Disco event—I was literally dancing in my chair while playing!
As my garden grew, it became kind of a mess. My plants were scattered everywhere!
Then, one time while visiting other players’ gardens, I came across a beautiful one. The plants were arranged so neatly, and it had stunning cosmetics.
That inspired me to give my own garden a makeover. I decorated it with flowers and rare plants that bear huge fruits and gain amazing mutations!
Mutations can drastically increase the value of your fruits, and sometimes, they even make your plants look beautiful, like this Sugar Apple I recently harvested.
Look at these fruits with multiple mutations, they’re worth billions! I'm still in awe just seeing those numbers.
I'm still working on decorating my garden, but I’m sure it’ll look even prettier soon!
