Leslee Lake, a farmer from Clarenville, Newfoundland, has garnered attention this season for his impressive pumpkin, named Pothole. The pumpkin currently weighs 480 kilograms, and Lake is hopeful that it will surpass his previous record of 1,034 pounds. This oversized squash has taken over his greenhouse and is on track to rival Newfoundland's renowned Gourdzilla, a title previously held by another giant pumpkin in the region. Lake's dedication to cultivating large pumpkins has become a local highlight, drawing interest from the community and beyond as the growing season continues. Residents are closely monitoring Pothole's development as it may set a new standard for giant pumpkins in Newfoundland.
