The rotting matter of banana skins, onions and potato peelings will eventually become a nutritious feed for new plants - and so the cycle goes on.

  • Jo Atherton, works a part time at nursery, but his passion is for  growing giant vegetables, He has  grown a  record breaking carrot 19’, 2’’ long and is also a devotee of leek growing and onions. He was set back recently when local kids stole a thousand pounds worth of lighting diverted most likely to grow marijuana plants. He is pictured preparing for the biggest giant veg event of the year, the Bath and West show. Giant vegetable growing is not a hobby for the faint hearted. The growers have to tend to the vegetables almost every day (including Christmas) spending up to 80 hours a week, tending, nurturing, growing and spending thousands on fertilisers, electricity and green houses. The reward is to be crowned world record holder of largest, longest or heaviest in class, cabbages weighing in at 100lb, carrots stretching 19 ft and pumpkins tipping the scales at 800lb.
