Grow a Garden Update [Harvest Moon Part 3] – Patch Notes & What's Next
The current Grow a Garden patch is Update 1.63.0, Harvest Moon Part 3, live August 15, 2026 at 20:30 UTC. It adds the pet-mutating Moon Machine and a Moon Crafting station. This is the original Grow a Garden (place 126884695634066), not the sequel on our Grow a Garden 2 page. See the hub.
What's new in Harvest Moon Part 3
The dev's Roblox event listing for universe 7436755782 promises "new mutations, pets, plants, rewards, QOL, and more." Behind that:
The Moon Machine mutates pets, not crops. Feed it a pet at level 50 or above and it rolls one of four new pet mutations: Bountiful (47.5%), Threshing (35%), Lunarbound (15%) and Starry (2.5%). Cost and duration scale with rarity: 50 Moon Coins for a Common up to 2,000 for a Prismatic (or R$29–R$199), lasting 15 minutes to 1.5 hours.
Moon Crafting is gated behind summons. The station handles one item at a time and its timer skips for R$39, but the recipes unlock only as you summon the Harvest Moon — ten fruits and a ten-minute cooldown each time.
| Craftable | Unlocks at | Craft time | Moon Coins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starry Strawberry Seed | None | 10 minutes | 15 |
| Moonbeam Radar | None | 15 minutes | 5 |
| Wheat Crow (pet) | 4 summons | 15 minutes | 100 |
| Wheatcap Seed | 8 summons | 20 minutes | 75 |
| Harvest Golem (pet) | 12 summons | 90 minutes | 500 |
| Harvest Melon Seed | 16 summons | 2 hours | 1,000 |
The rest of Part 3: three seeds (Starry Strawberry, Wheatcap, Harvest Melon), two pets (Wheat Crow, Harvest Golem), a Harvest Moon Fence skin and Statue, a set of Harvest Moon mini achievements, and a Pet Inventory Capacity Deluxe ascension upgrade. No code shipped with 1.63.0; our codes page holds the live list.
What this means for players
Both systems point at one bottleneck: summon count. Sixteen summons gate the Harvest Melon, and Robux buys off the craft timer, never the requirement. A level-50 pet is now an input too, which raises the value of everything in our tier list. Starry at 2.5% is a one-in-forty roll — budget for misses.
Scale check, as of August 19, 2026: 24,762 online, 35.85 billion visits, 89.9% likes. Our 7-day median concurrent count was 30,394 over 27 readings, August 12–19, range 24,363–49,378 — that high landed an hour before Part 3 shipped. The sequel showed 167,101 concurrent the same day: the original is now the smaller of the two. Compare in Grow a Garden 2 vs Grow a Garden or vs Steal a Brainrot.

What's next for Grow a Garden?
August 22, 2026 at 20:30 UTC, and two independent sources agree. The Garden Game has a placeholder Roblox event titled "NEXT UPDATE" starting 2026-08-22T20:30:23Z; the wiki's Update Log counts down to 2026-08-22T20:30:00Z. Part 3's window closes at 20:00 UTC that day.
Neither says what is in it — the dev subtitle is literally "???", and the wiki's Part 4 stub lists "Moon Quests" and a "Moon Reward Track" as to be added — rumour, not shipped. Parts 1, 2 and 3 all landed on a Saturday near 20:30 UTC. Watch the Roblox game page or our Robux guide.
How we sourced this
Checked August 19, 2026. The patch time is first-party: Roblox's virtual-events API for universe 7436755782, posted by the dev group. Named items and numbers come from the wiki's Harvest Moon Event page, diffed against its own pre-Part-3 revision to separate what Part 3 added. Stats: our radar samples plus the live games API.
One trap: the wiki's Update Log/1.63.0 subpage is not the 1.63.0 patch — last edited July 16, it holds the July 4 High Tide notes. Search also blends this game with its sequel. We tied Part 3 to the original because the dev event carries universeId 7436755782, the wiki's Play button links to place 126884695634066, and that wiki logs updates from November 2025 — before the sequel existed.
