  • David Thomas,42, spends his days producing perfectly proportioned vegetables for supermarkets but in the evening he devotes himself to his hobby growing outsized vegetables. 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. It’s a competitive business though and global; some times the record may stand for only hours before a fellow competitor, somewhere,  knocks a grower off the coveted spot.

  • A detail of rotting vegetables in a garden compost bin. A detail of organic vegetable and fruit matter decomposing inside a home garden composting bin. We look down on to the natural waste as a close-up of the vegetables and fruit scraps that have been thrown away by a city householder in south London. Local authorities encourage the use of compost bins in back gardens (yards) and the proliferation of these efficient containers mean that their residue can be returned to the soil without the expense of transport to landfill. The rotting matter of carrot skins etc. will eventually become a nutritious feed for new plants - and so the cycle goes on.

  • Peter Glazebrook with a giant onion. He has held eight world records in his time but is currently holder of only two with heaviest parsnip and longest beetroot, 12lb and 21ft. respectively. 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. it’s a competitive business though and global; some times the record may stand for only hours before a fellow competitor, somewhere,  knocks a grower off the coveted spot.
