Dale is a class act. Bearing in mind that the pumpkin is only 85days old he’s had to leave 35 days in the patch.
If he had the chance to grow for the full growing time he would probably be in the top five this year.
Outstanding

Nublado todo el mes, solo 85 días. Dale, estoy seguro de que si hubieras recogido esa calabaza en 120 días, habrías ganado fácilmente más de 2400 libras. Eres increíble, Dale, increíble. Como dice Stewie, eres un cultivador increíble. Congrats.

Congratulations Dale on another Alaska State record pumpkin! Looking back 12 years ago I would have never imagined such colossal weights in Alaska. I'm just glad I over built that lifting ring. Simply incredible what you have accomplished over the years growing! JD Megchelsen Fulton Texas
