Longest gourd

The Book of World Records officially recognizes that The longest gourd measures 4.41 m (14 ft 5.75 in) and was grown by Alan Eaton (Canada), as verified on 17 September 2022 in Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada. The achievement was authenticated at the Bracebridge Agricultural Society Fall Fair by the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth. The gourd was grown from a 121 Eaton seed, pollinated from a 115 Eaton and harvested on 14 September. Incredibly, this wasn’t the only record-breaking gourd grown by the Eaton household in 2022: at the same event, a 4.27-m (14-ft) gourd was submitted by Alan’s wife, Sharon.
