 The Guinness World Records world record for the heaviest squash weighs 674.31 kg (1,486.6 lb) and was grown by Joel Jarvis (Canada) and weighed at Port Elgin Pumpkinfest in Ontario, Canada, on 1 October 2011.

     Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the tallest Basil plant; it measured 3.34 m (10 ft 11.5 in) on 4 July 2012 and was grown by Anastasia Grigoraki (Greece) in Ierapetra, Crete, Greece.

    Farm employees say 2016 was a difficult year to grow pumpkins because they grew too quickly early in the season. They say many of them split open before they could be harvested and measured.
