Growing Cucumbers for the Horde

Hello again. Tis me, Byron. The guy that draws a lot of zombies also has started to get people to help him grow cucumbers on the WAX blockchain. Why? Global domination of course. The idea is simple. Grow cucumbers for the Horde. If the Horde grows enough cucumbers, then we can start to turn them into . . .

Which would actually be, YOUR Zickle Army. The game is under heavy construction atm but the release is imminent. HAHA right?

WTF ARE ZICKLES?? Zickles are Zombie Cucumbers with a salty attitude. What started as a simple and fun idea has slowly become something bigger.

The FIRST ZICKLE in the skull frame. very rare these days

I drew up this Zickle and showed it around the social media, mostly in my telegram channel and Twitter. When I minted it as an NFT it sold right away and the need for more was happening. Next thing you know, I make a pack, there's some blends, and boom. A silly idea grows some legs and starts to walk.

Now I am trying to grow cucumbers for the horde. If successful and the harvest is bountiful ... the Horde will get its own token. How cool would that be?

So ... let's talk about cucumber growing in my NFT metaverse.

It all starts here: https://neftyblocks.com/c/myzicklearmy

So how do you grow a cucumber? First you need to buy the planter, the seed and the soil. Blend them all together and you get the POTTED!!!
It's the only way you can get the potted is by blending.

Once you get the seed in the soil and it's potted, it's time to water it and give it some light so that it sprouts!! Once again this is achieved with blends.

Now that there's a sprout, it's going to need some Gro FAST, which you need to mix with water, and of course, more light.
Add those things to the sprout and it grows into a Gherkin. Isn't this fun?

Next step in the growing process is to decide if you want to grow a normal cucumber and harvest on time, or let it grow longer for a longer cucumber. This is an easy process that just requires sun for a basic cuke, or more sun, for a longer cuke.
Nefty Blocks makes this all so easy.

just a little sun is all you need to grow a cuke

a little more sun gets a longer cuke

So now you got your basic cuke, or your long cuke, it's time to harvest them. Both are harvested in a simple way. With SHEARS! Just blend the cuke with the shears and you get your cucumber!

BUT WAIT! That's not a cucumber! It's a PACK! Go here and open your pack to claim your cucumber, as well as the planter and shears so you don't have to buy those things over again.

​

That's the Basic Cucumber. The Long cucumber looks just the same, but longer. The biggest difference though ... with the LOoooONG cucumber, you also get the BURPEE SEED!!!

So far, the only way to get a burpee seed is by growing a long cucumber.
So ... if you want to start growing your own cucumber, head over to NeftyBlocks!

When this article was first written there was only the basic and long cucumber options. I have since added the burpee and lon burururpee too.
The game really is under development, but we're not funded so the developers are working in their free time :)
And they are awesome, just you wait.
