Best Mutations for Carrot
Mutations stack additively — Shocked (4.5×) and Starstruck (6.5×) together give a 12× bonus on top of your Lush multiplier. Check the Garden Horizons mutations guide for timing tips.
Is Carrot Worth Farming?
Honestly, Carrot is a tutorial crop. It's not worth farming seriously because the absolute ceiling (Lush + Starstruck + Party) barely clears $1k. Use it early on to practice your mutation timing and ripening windows, then move on. Once you have $350 in the bank, swap to Onion.
