I can't complete Agnes' "Not so useless?" errand

[deagh93]

I also did some experimenting, and the ones she eventually took were medium and orange.  So yeah, I think they need to be orange for her to take them.

It has to be a small orange pumpkin. It took me ages to figure out why she wouldn’t accept it. You can’t use fertilizer either. Just let the birds and rabbits take care of the bugs and weeds. Only water it.

I wonder if this is the same root cause as this bug:

First time I've tried this errand and of course my pumpkin turns out white and of course I don't get credit.

Has anyone figured out a way to influence pumpkin color? Mine come out white about 75% of the time and it doesn't seem to matter what I do with them.

I managed to complete the errand after several batches. Task was complete once I harvested a Perfect small pumpkin (batch from  patches was mixed between white, green and orange pumpkins so I gave her an orange one). Then the errand completed.

Thank you all for the previous answers! It helped me avoid experiments.

Make sure it's an oversized pumpkin. She accepts those. Put a lot of love into growing it
