Huge crops, what do i do?

[maverra]

I've been playign stardew valley for a while now and made up a sum enough for 200 some odd caulifours. But wouldn't you knwo it, the day they are ripe i come out to a huge cauliflour takign up a 3x3 space. How do i get rid of it or sell it? I am still a newbie at this haha.

you can harvest it like any other crop and it will explode into many small cauliflowers which you can sell.
this can occur with cauliflower, melons and pumpkins if you plant them 3x3. dont know the exact percentage but it has quite a low % for it to happen. :)

You can harvest it by hitting it with your axe, but honeestly? They're the type of thing that always shows up when you aren't trying to get it (and never when you are) so if you like the look of it, keep it! Giant crops will never decay, so you can enjjoy it as a permanent decoration to your farrm.

Now if only I could get a giant pumpkin to grow on my hilltop file...

Use your axe on it and it will give you many regular ones.

They give a random number between 15 and 21. That's an average of 18, double what you'd have gotten otherwise.

Indeed. And while that's generally not a terrible drawback, it can be if you were hoping for quality to use them as gifts, or if you missed one of the other Quality Crops bundle crops and wanted five gold-quality ones for the bundle.

And AFAIK you get no EXP for harvesting a giant version or regular crops. Since nine tiles were converted and only valuable crops can turn giant, this could be a huge loss.
