Worlds biggest onion!
Only recently, Peter Glazebrook went down in history for growing the world’s biggest onion.
Weighing in a whopping 17lb and 15.5 oz, this vegetable established a new record and sets new standards for green living and growing your own organic foods.
Apparently pensioner Peter Glazebrook is a huge fan of oversized vegetables, and that over the years he went through considerable trouble trying to outgrow his competitors.
Peter, a 67-year-old retired chartered surveyor, who lives near Newark, has broken ten world records in his 30 years of gardening.
He has been trying for the honour of cultivating the world’s heaviest onion for 25 years but always missed out until his victory this week at Harrogate Flower Show.
He was declared to be the winner for all six classes in the giant vegetable section at the Great Yorkshire Showground.
Other of Peter Glazebrook’s achievements include growing the world’s largest beetroot and the heaviest potato.
Speaking about this Godzilla-like onion, the 68-year-old man argued that, “it could feed a thousand people,” or at least, “do for a lot of hotdogs.”
