COMMENTS: Not Good Enough for Guinness
Peanuts fan and CBS anchor Katie Couric sent Assignment America correspondent Steve Hartman in search of the Great Pumpkin for Halloween. He returned with a profile of Steve Connolly, a gardener with the ambition to grow the first one-ton pumpkin. As recently as 1976, no pumpkin grew larger than 400lbs, Hartman told us. Careful selection of seeds has now produced a squash that can expand by 45lbs in a single day. Connolly won this year's weigh-off with a 1568lb gourd: "Enough for this year's record but not good enough for Guinness."
