What fun would this hobby be, if we didn’t have and a way to keep track of who has grown the largest giant pumpkin, giant watermelon, or giant tomato in Arizona. The AZGVG keeps track of the records – and will even help the next person beat our own existing records. (BTW, we even smile when you break our records).
The Arizona Giant Vegetable Growers Association, on behalf of the Arizona State Fair, maintains the Giant Vegetable Records for the State of Arizona.
Remember, some vegetables grow better in one region than another; but that shouldn’t stop you from trying to see if you can’t “Wow!” your friends and neighbors — and set a new Arizona record while you’re at it. We want you to grow a giant vegetable, and we’ll celebrate your victory when you bring it to our events. If your “Giant” matures outside the set weigh-off dates, then we’ll arrange to bring our scale to you.
This list is maintained to the best of our abilities, utilizing all the resources available from the various giant vegetable clubs, known record keeping websites, and Guinness World Records. We apologize for any error in our records, and hope you will
contact us with the information which will allow us to create a record book that can be used by everybody.
