Cauli gosh! Brit grows record veg
Peter Glazebrook breaks world record for growing the biggest cauliflower, adding to his onion and potato titles
The Brit who has already grown the world’s heaviest onion and potato has now added a colossal cauliflower to his record-breaking collection.
Peter Glazebrook's latest creation - grown in the East Midlands - is 60lb in weight, and 6ft wide.
The cauliflower, which is of the Darwin variety, has beaten the previous record by 6lb, and is 20 times heavier than the ones consumers are used to buying in supermarkets.
Glazebrook, 69, planted the beastly cauliflower last July, and nurtured it in his greenhouse, feeding it calcium nitrate.
He then switched to a high potash feed once the weather got warmer in March.
Gazebrook, who has now frozen the vegetable for keeping, told Mail Online: "The weighing was conducted at my home because there were no vegetable shows at this time of year. My previous effort last year was weakened by the long cold snap that hit most of the UK.
"The exceptionally mild autumn this time has helped me to clinch this record-breaker."
