Largest Pumpkin in the World

October 10th, 2006 by Maria

Despite heavy rains that stunted pumpkin growth, a Rhode Island farmer has set what could be a new record for the largest pumpkin in the world. His giant pumpkin that could be the largest ever weights at 1,502 pounds! Imagine that weight, it must be heavier than my head! Haha…

The product is heavier than the current Guinness World Record-holding 1,469-pound pumpkin grown last year by Larry Checkon of Pennsylvania.

Want to grow some giant pumpkins like our new record holder? Wallace said at the 13th annual Rhode Island Southern New England Giant Pumpkin Growers Championship that the key is the ability to commit to the task from April to October.

“Pumpkin growing is a lot of work and you just have to stick with it,” he said :)
