The Stalk Market is Garbage 🗑️

I've been watching it every day for the past month...the highest increase I've ever seen is maybe 10% over what I paid... this week, it never went up, and I had spent 300,000 bells on turnips..held out until Saturday night, only went down.and sold those for 100,000 bells.

what's the point? I can grow millions of bells of pumpkins for free over the same time frame
