Culpeper gardener Paul Jarosh’s 103-pound butternut squash smashed a world record at the recent State Fair of Virginia Giant Vegetable Competition. The squash weighs almost 40 pounds more than the current entry in the Guinness World Records, and 20 pounds more than the standing record with the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth.
