UPI – A Canadian resident recently harvested an astonishing eight-foot, 4.79-inch zucchini from his garden, a contender for the title of the world’s longest.
Henry D’Angela has officially submitted his zucchini for Guinness World Records certification, hoping to claim the coveted title.
The current record-holder, an eight-foot, 3.3-inch zucchini, was cultivated by John Giovanni Scozzafavain in Niagara Falls, Ontario, back in 2014. “I didn’t start out to grow the longest,” D’Angela told ThoroldToday. “It just happened to be in a new area I had never grown before. The soil has done really well for it. It’s amazing.”
He said he is keeping the massive zucchini in his garage until he hears back from Guinness World Records.
“When they open the farmer’s market in Thorold next year, I should bring this as a novelty,” he said. “So Thorold can be known as having the biggest zucchini in the world.”
