Goodness! The things you can do with pumpkins!
October is definitely pumpkin month, you see them everywhere, even in some of my posts here and here 😊 but I thought this news a nice one to share!
Tim Burton-inspired pumpkin mosaic sets world record
A Tim Burton-inspired mosaic made with more than 10,000 pumpkins and squashes has set a new Guinness World Record.The display at Sunnyfields Farm was created to mark animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas's 30th anniversary and depicts Jack Skellington's famous moonlight stance
The Southampton, farm has entered the record books for the largest mosaic created from squashes.
To achieve the feat, the mosaic had to be over 100 square metres.
The farm's finished patchwork of pumpkins and squashes ended up just under 200 square metres.
It required meticulous planning and took about five hours for staff at the farm to create the giant spooky display.
The striking Halloween-inspired image mosaic took around five hours to create
The farm hosts a giant pumpkin weigh-off annually where world records are often set.
Farmer Ian Nelson, 59 said: "We always see people get world records, but we didn't think we would get one ourselves.
"We weren't intentionally doing it to get the record as each year we build a big display, but we realised it would qualify and went for it."
The official title for their new record given by Guinness is the largest Cucurbita mosaic - the genre for varieties of pumpkins and squashes.
The farm is owned by the Nelson family,
made up of husband and wife Ian, 59, and Louise, 60, and their 33-year-old son Tom
Adam Milward, managing editor of Guinness World Records, said: "This is always a busy time of year for fruit and veg records at Guinness World Records... just last week we had the privilege of recognising a new heaviest pumpkin.
"It can sometimes be easy to get wrapped up entirely in the biggest produce, but what Sunnyfields Farm has proven in their Halloween-themed gourd display is that when horticultural prowess is combined with a little creative flair, it's possible to reap some truly spook-tacular results."
