Meet the Man Who Grows Pumpkins as Big as Smart Cars
In today's—and our final!—episode of Burnt Toast
Published On
Leonardo Urena has broken the California state record for the biggest pumpkin three times; he’s grown the largest pumpkin in the United States once. And he regularly flies to other countries to teach them how to grow giant vegetables: He was just in Japan, and he helps run a seed exchange with growers in Spain. His latest quest: Growing a 2000-pound pumpkin in his patch at Hudson Ranch.
