On this episode of On the Tailgate, we’re talking pumpkins — and not just any pumpkins. Two-time state record holder Danny Ware joins us to share how he turns a handful of seeds into jaw-dropping, record-setting giants. From early spring planting to the final weigh-in, Danny walks us through the patience, precision, and pure passion behind his championship pumpkins and shares the secrets behind cultivating colossal pumpkins—from soil prep to late-night watering sessions—and the surprising community that’s grown around competitive pumpkin growing. We talk about the highs, the heartbreaks, and what it takes to haul a thousand-pound pumpkin to the weigh-in. Pull up a chair by the tailgate, grab your cider, and get ready for a conversation that’s as down-to-earth as it is larger-than-life.
