US teacher wins giant pumpkin weigh-off

A giant pumpkin nicknamed “Orange Crush” has won the world championship title at the US Pumpkin Weigh-Off.

The giant pumpkin that weighed 1,910 pounds won a Washington state teacher an 11,000 dollar-prize on top of the world championship.

Cindy Tobeck had planted the seed resulting in the giant gourd in a greenhouse with heated soil back in April.

She’s the third woman to win the competition in its 42-year history.
