The headline new feature in Grow a Garden 2 is nighttime stealing — and it changes everything. Here's how raiding works, and how to defend your garden so you don't lose your best harvests.
How stealing works
When night falls, players can sneak into undefended gardens and steal ripe fruit. The catch:
- •Plants fight back — your garden isn't defenseless.
- •You can set traps to catch intruders.
- •Defensive pets attack raiders directly.
- •The Raccoon pet lets you go on offense — it steals fruit from empty gardens at night and raises your steal limit by +25.
Best defensive pets
If you're growing high-value mutated crops, defense pays for itself. The top options:
- •Black Dragon (1,000,000 Sheckles) — breathes fire on anyone trying to steal. The best value defender.
- •Ice Serpent (20,000,000 Sheckles) — the endgame defender; freezes raiders.
- •Bee (1,000,000 Sheckles) — a cheaper option that actively swarms intruders.
How to protect your crops
- •Harvest before you log off — the simplest defense is leaving nothing to steal.
- •Set traps around your garden.
- •Buy a defensive pet before you start growing high-mutation crops — one stolen 70x Electric crop costs far more than the pet.
- •Don't leave premium crops unattended overnight.
