To grow a great pumpkin in Edmonds: seeds, water, brute force [View all]
EDMONDS — What is needed to pick a pumpkin — a pair of gloves and some garden clippers?
In Ross Haddow’s case, it takes a small village, too.
For a decade, Haddow, 72, has grown giant pumpkins in the garden of his Edmonds home, and through those years he has called upon neighbors and loved ones to help move the behemoths as he prepares them for weigh-off competitions around Puget Sound.
“It’s a fun hobby,” Haddow said. “It’s fun to grow a fruit that’s bigger than you are.”
