Pictured above is the 2004 world record pumpkin. Al Eaton grew this
1446 pound pumpkin.
After growers optimistically tried for years to break the 1,000
pound barrier, the barrier fell twice in the same year. That year
was 1994. Each year since then, the record has fallen to an even
larger pumpkin. |
