Jerusalem - Petah Tikva resident Yitzhak Yazdanpana has set the new world record for growing the longest cucumber. Working out of his home garden, Yazdanpana grew a three-foot, ten-inch long cucumber (about 117 cm). He said he didn’t use any chemical fertilizers.

Yazdantana said on Tuesday that he hopes the cucumber will be entered into the Guinness Book of World Records.

Why does he need to hope that it gets into the Guinness Book of Records; it’s just a phone call away.

No, I just checked and they can only be contacted electronically. Here is the address for anyone who would like to tip them off on this: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/corporate/contact_us.aspx

Good for him! Congratulations!

I'd like to know how he did it. - Anyone know how he did it without fertilizer?

I'm growing cucumbers this year and wouldn't mind a few tips. I don't want giant sized cukes, but wouldn't mind if they were larger than normal.

BH this comes from ahrtzeinu hakedosha. Kol hakovod to him for shwoing the world what Israelis can do. All the Arabs do is destroy gardens and farms. Look what they did in Gaza when we gave them beautiful farms on a silver platter.
