A farmer in Israel is hoping his colossal cucumber gets him into the Guiness Book of World Records.
Itzhak Yazdehpana says only organic, natural fertilizers were used to grow the huge cuke.
The vast vegetable measures 46.5 inches from end to end.
A normal-sized cucumber shrivels in comparison when placed on top.
Yazdehpana is trying to contact the Guiness organization for official recognition.
