Lord of the gourds: B.C. pumpkin-growing champion smashes the ... (The Globe and Mail)

A 40-year love of pumpkins pays off for Dave Chan after the retired B.C. dentist won two recent competitions and set a new provincial record.

The piece had a moniker – Trumpkin. Weeks after, he transfers the plant to the greenhouse after heating up the soil. When COVID-19 disrupted travels and social gatherings, Mr. He grew the 2,702-pound (1,226-kilogram) monster in September, 2021, according to Guinness World Records. He wrote a letter to Mr. ”It’s about studying the soil.” He built a greenhouse with a misting system, fans, and heating wires buried in the soil. Chan said that “in the first five minutes” of visiting their current home on an agricultural land reserve, he found the patch of dirt where he could grow his pumpkin. He heard about giant pumpkins from an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and soon learned that the seeds for growing the really big ones, called Atlantic giant, came from a farmer in Nova Scotia named Howard Dill. His success, the 77-year-old said, is owing to a little luck, hard work, and according to his wife, a bit of an obsession. Chan’s giant pumpkins won contests in British Columbia and across the border in Oregon, clocking in at 1,676 pounds (760 kilograms) and the other at 1,728.5 pounds (784 kilograms). When the pandemic hit, he devoted even more to his craft, building a greenhouse and keeping meticulous records of his creations.

Howden pumpkins are bred for size, shape, color and having a handle-like stem for easy carrying, but the insides can be made into a puree for baking. Let's not forget that a pumpkin is a vegetable and can be eaten; however, typical carving pumpkins are not as tasty as the smaller, sweeter varieties used for baking.
