Halloween/botany Idea

So I thought of an idea for Halloween

I was collecting seeds and resources today and my daughter asked if I was growing pumpkins because she seen all the orange plants.
Well I got to thinking it would be cool if we could grow pumpkins. Just like other plants have them give seeds (Maybe resources) and have a chance for mutant plants (black white etc)
Maybe add in a chance to get a special seed instead of a seed of renewal that will grow jack o lanterns which come in new colors and a very rare chance a rotten pumpkin or something like a few topiaries.
The seeds could come from trick or treat begging a new drop during Halloween.

This would add something new to botany, it’s been awhile.

Please add your suggestions

They should fix the tribarrel cactus seeds first. Not sure why players asked them to keep RNG in a system that was so peaceful and predictable. Or, if they can't fix it, if they're making new seeds... just add a new tribarrel and keep that RNG one.

Why can't we grow alchemy/inscription regs? It would be so nice to have a Hogwarts style magical garden...

There is art in the game for ginseng, nightshade and mandrake plants. Garlic could reuse the onion plant graphic. Only bloodmoss would need a new plant graphic, or a repurposed/rehued graphic.

Then they should allow nox crystal to be made via alchemy, say by distilling nightshade 2or3:1.

Then pig iron could be a random drop when smelting iron ore, batwing from vampire bats and mongbats, grave dust from digging in cemeteries, black pearl from fishing (this one might already be a thing), etc.

There could be a lot more little touches like this.
