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 and that the record breaker is not his first large cucumber. He told Reuters that he previously grew one that was more than two feet long.
