Meeting Farmer John...Maker of Squared Pumpkins...


When you hear him, you melt...Farmer, Biggest Pumpkin Prize in the USA, Swiss educated, Californian adopted...and Mayor of Half Moon Bay!!! Meet this fun man who once said "Pumpkins are like people. They come in all colors, sizes and shapes. But on the inside they're all the same." Well...Farmer John, you made us smile and Thanks for this huge zucchini....
"Farmer John has another trick up his sleeve too: his giant square pumpkins. Using custom wooden boxes and super clamps, he constrains the growth of the Giant Atlantics to a small box, creating a perfect square. He holds the record for the largest square pumpkin, at 235 pounds. He's sold square pumpkins to a Reno casino to be turned into dice."

Thanks for not spraying your corn....I know this little worm is having a great lunch...
