Dale Marshall may not be a household name to most Alaskans. But for folks who follow giant vegetables, Marshall is a hero of sorts.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -
“The first year was 50 pounds or something like that, and then the next year we bumped up to 350 and that was amazing,” Marshall said. “I’d never seen a pumpkin that big that I’ve actually grown.” Getting the pumpkin out of the greenhouse is quite the feat in and of itself. First, Marshall must disassemble the greenhouse roof. Next, he secures the pumpkin with a series of heavy straps. A giant crane hoists the pumpkin up through the top of the greenhouse, dangling it in the air before placing the massive gourd gently on the flatbed truck that Marshall will drive to the fair.“You’re never not nervous until that’s on that, the trailer,” Marshall said.
