brief title

An official from the Giant Vegetable Olympics attaches the winning pumpkin contestant with a sash honouring its great victory at the Bay Tree Nurseries, Spalding, Lincolnshire, England. Reaching round the immense girth of this specimen is awkward and frankly, a ridiculous pursuit. Sponsored by Garden News Magazine and hosted by the nursery owner, these vegetables can weigh up to 300kg, their growth accelerated by special fertilizers and genetic hormones.
