Grow a Garden: From Pancake Stacks to the Tallest Elder Strawberry Ever
The world of Grow a Garden just keeps getting more absurd—in the best possible way. With each new update, the game drops even wilder pets, gear, and quirky mechanics, enabling players to pull off stunts that look like they belong in some Roblox fever dream. And today's experiment? It might just be one of the craziest yet.
After a string of big wins (including a gigantic Bone Blossom that made jaws drop), a new idea struck: what if we pushed Elder Strawberries to their absolute size limit? Not just big fruit—monolithic, sky-piercing, climb-like-an-obby big.
What followed was part science experiment, part Robux-burning spree, and part comedy of errors, culminating in one of the tallest plants the game has ever seen.
The Squirrel Method: The Secret Weapon Nobody Talks About
The adventure began with a flash of inspiration and two squirrels. In Grow a Garden, squirrels have a unique passive ability: a chance not to consume your reclaimer when you use it. A reclaimer is your ticket to picking up a plant without losing it, and reclaimers don't come cheap—especially when you're burning through dozens of seeds in rapid-fire planting experiments.
One shiny squirrel at age 100 offered a 26% "no consume" chance, and another added 15% more. Combined, that meant a roughly 42% chance to reclaim without losing the tool. That's practically printing money in this game's economy.
It got better. A third squirrel—courtesy of a generous friend—pushed that chance up to a whopping ~80%. With odds like that, one could theoretically plant and reclaim almost indefinitely. The reclaimer shortage problem? Gone. The "Robux bleeding" problem? Well… mostly gone.
First Attempts: Reality Check
The goal was simple: plant Elder Strawberries, cross fingers for RNG blessings, and grow something massive. The process, however, was anything but straightforward.
First, there was the harsh truth: in Grow a Garden, the size of the plant is determined at the moment you plant it. No amount of sprinklers will make the plant taller—sprinklers only affect fruit size. That fact didn't stop multiple "just in case" sprinkler purchases throughout the day. Hope can be expensive.
Early batches of Elder Strawberries were… underwhelming. Even with 10 seeds planted at once, nothing came close to the colossal Elder Strawberry spotted in another player's garden days earlier. That one had been so huge it functioned like an obby course—players could climb the leaves like stairs all the way to the clouds.
Frustration mounted. Robux was spent. More seeds were bought. Still no luck.
Underground Discoveries and Giant Fruit Glitches
Just as spirits were dipping, something strange happened. One reclaimed plant revealed a 93 kg strawberry—grown entirely underground. It looked like a massive stem plunging into the dirt, an accidental discovery that raised a new question: could the underground growth glitch be exploited for bigger yields?
Whether intentional or not, this was a fun find. Giant fruit from nowhere? Check. Squirrels keeping reclaimers alive? Double check. But the ultimate prize—the towering Elder Strawberry—remained elusive.
Turning Up the Heat: 32 Seeds, Maxed Squirrels, and No Shame in Spending
Sometimes, the answer to bad luck is to throw more attempts at the problem. With the squirrel method ensuring reclaimer survival, the next batch wasn't just 10 or 20 seeds—it was 32 Elder Strawberry seeds planted in one go.
The setup was chaotic. Sprinklers were placed, removed, replaced again. The garden was crowded. The squirrels ran around doing whatever magical squirrel things they do. But the moment the "Grow All" button was pressed, the magic finally happened.
A big one appeared.
The Giant Elder Strawberry Is Born
It wasn't quite as tall as the legendary strawberry from that other player's garden, but it was huge—thick, lush, with leaves broad enough to serve as platforms. Better yet, it wasn't even fully grown when it first appeared.
One more "Grow All" push later, it reached full height, standing like a natural skyscraper in the garden. The structure wasn't just decorative—it was functional. Its leaves formed a climbing path, turning the plant into a fully playable obby.
And so began the climb.
The Climb: Obby Skills Required
Getting to the top of the giant Elder Strawberry was equal parts exhilarating and nerve-wracking. The route started with easy hops from leaf to leaf, but quickly turned into tricky side jumps, mid-air landings, and faith leaps to higher stems. Miss a jump, and you'd tumble back down—though sometimes you'd be caught by a lower leaf, offering a second chance.
It took minutes of steady climbing, dodging gaps, and wiping sweat off the mouse to reach the summit. From up there, the entire garden looked like a miniature model. The other plants—once impressive—looked like sprouts compared to the towering strawberry behemoth.
Bringing in a Witness: Noodle Joins the Tour
Of course, such a monumental achievement couldn't go unshared. Noodle, the partner in countless Grow a Garden escapades (and co-star of the Idots channel), was summoned to witness the marvel.
His reaction? Pure disbelief.
"Why is it so fat? It's so big… what plant is that?"
Once he learned it was an Elder Strawberry, the tour began. At first, he was hesitant, citing sweaty hands and a fear of falling. But soon enough, he was hopping from leaf to leaf, laughing at the ridiculousness of it all.
The climb together was filled with banter, missed jumps, lucky landings, and eventual triumph. At the top, the two looked down at the tiny gardens below, laughing at how surreal the whole thing felt.
A Bonus Gift: The Underground Strawberry
As a parting gift for making it to the summit, Noodle was handed the mysterious 93 kg underground strawberry. No sprinklers had been used; it had just… appeared like that. It was a fitting souvenir for a day filled with improbable discoveries.
The Strategy That Made It All Possible
While the final giant Elder Strawberry owed a lot to luck, the strategy behind it is worth noting:
Max Out Your Squirrels
Age them to 100, aim for mutations (ideally rainbow), and stack as many as possible for a high "no consume" reclaimer chance. Three good squirrels can push you toward an 80% success rate.
Stockpile Elder Strawberry Seeds
The more you plant at once, the better your chances of hitting a massive RNG roll.
Ignore Sprinklers for Plant Size
Sprinklers don't affect plant height—only fruit size. Unless you're going for giant strawberries instead of giant plants, save your Robux.
Reclaim Aggressively
Don't settle for "pretty big" if your goal is "absurdly massive." Use the squirrel method to keep reclaimers alive and keep replanting until you hit the jackpot.
The Robux Factor
Let's be real—this experiment wasn't cheap. Between buying seeds, sprinklers, and reclaimers, the day's total spend was enough to make most players wince. But with the ongoing August Robux giveaway tied to new subscribers, there was a certain poetic symmetry to it: spend big, win big, and share big.
By the time the giant Elder Strawberry was standing tall, the giveaway pot had already hit nearly 60,000 Robux just a week into the month.
The Takeaway
The beauty of Grow a Garden lies in its mix of strategy, luck, and sheer ridiculousness. Sometimes you spend hours chasing the perfect plant size and walk away with nothing but average results. Other times, you stumble upon underground fruit anomalies or end up growing something that literally changes the scale of your garden. You can get a lot of Grow a Garden Sheckles and Grow a Garden Items from MMOexp to help you quickly manifest your dreams.
For now, the towering Elder Strawberry reigns supreme as the most impressive feat in this particular garden. But the game's unpredictable mechanics—and the unstoppable curiosity of players—mean it's only a matter of time before someone grows something even bigger.
And when that happens? You can bet it'll be climbed, laughed at, and probably turned into another Robux-fuelled adventure.
