Actually, a way to test this would be to spawn wizard in BWB and see what it does with a plant on top of a lillypad! Shovel might get to the pumpkin first, then the plant, same with fisherman. It might add protection from primes/skull, but really, who knows?

As for sprouts, they are plantable in game, though they don't do anything. It'd be interesting if they sprouted into a random plant, but it was needed to water them until full growth for them to function. I'm not sure how the sun would work out, but maybe you get charged depending on the plant? Making it possible to get negative sun? Pumpkin first in case of fishermen and excavator? That makes no sense, they'd be pulled both. As for wizard and octo - only plant inside is affected, like you said.
