Gary Adams has now been deemed the pumpkin growing king of New York.  Adams is a plumber by trade.  He owns a 60-acre plot of property where he typically grows foreign perennials, in the town of Lafayette, just south of Syracuse.  Not only did he grow this very large pumpkin, but Adams is known for growing "gargantuan gourds" as well.
