Teacher's homegrown giant to have 'big reveal' at school
A HUGE pumpkin weighing up to 120 kilos and believed to be one of the biggest ever grown in the country is set to go on display in a school this week.
The giant fruit is so heavy it broke the scales when attempts were made to weigh it and it took five men to lift it when it was transported.
Teacher Servatius Antonius, 29, set the tiny seed in a pot on his kitchen window last April and has watched it balloon in size over the summer.
