When it comes to gardening competitions, Peter Glazebrook is a giant in his field.
The 68-year-old has just smashed his own record for producing the world’s largest onion.
The prize vegetable weighed in at 18lb 1oz, breaking his previous best by almost 2oz.
Eye-watering: Peter Glazebrook from Newark with his world record breaking onion that weighed in at 18lbs 1oz
Not content with his huge onion, the
retired chartered surveyor also brought an 82lb cabbage to the Harrogate
Autumn Flower Show – having to transport the vegetable in a
wheelbarrow.
Mr Glazebrook, 68, from Newark has a knack for producing oversized vegetables, winning all six classes in the giant vegetable section during yesterday’s show at the Great Yorkshire Showground.
The amateur farmer holds an array of world records for his prowess in the garden.
Earlier this year, Mr Glazebrook produced the world’s longest parsnip – measuring 18.5ft, 36 times longer than a normal parsnip.
Added to that achievement, Mr Glazebrook has been a double Guinness World Record holder for growing the heaviest parsnip.
Peter wheels in his prize winning giant cabbage which weighs 81lb 6oz

Prized onion: Peter won all six classes in the giant vegetable competition
The proud farmer beat his previous world record by almost 2ozs, at the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show
Root of the matter: Peter with his world record
winning parsnip which measured in at 18.5ft at the National Gardening Show at the
Royal Bath and West Showground
He has also grown the world’s largest beetroot and the heaviest potato, weighing 8lbs 40oz.
Mr Glazebrook had been attempting to cultivate a record-breaking onion for 25 years until setting a new record at last year’s Harrogate Flower Show.
Speaking at the time, he said he seeded his onions rather than eating them.
He said: ‘If you did I should think it could feed a thousand people. It would certainly do for a lot of hotdogs.’
Exquisite: An array of seasonal vegetables are proudly displayed
Gardeners from across Britain descend on the Yorkshire Showground every Autumn to show off their prized crops of vegetables, flowers and plants
Immaculate: Prized carrots are proudly displayed in their classes
Visitors to the annual show admire and discuss the prize winning carrots

If if don’t taste good, why bother? Down in Vidalia, Georgia there is a local varietal onion so sweet it almost tastes like an apple. For really good tasting cabbage North Germany is hard to beat. But for sauerkraut made from cabbage ya gotta go to Bavaria.
The Irish have great cabbage and potato’s as well.
Now that’s what I want in a vegetable…taste, and lot’s of it. The best squash I came across was in Burlington County, NJ. Farmers markets there offer dozens of types of squash loaded with yummy flavor. Same goes for fresh sweet corn on the cob. Best I found came from Amish Country near Lancaster and over in western Pennsylvania.
Folks just boil it and eat it without butter or salt….yum- yum

As a novice allotment gardener, I have to say I´m extremely envious of that display, I wonder what sort of fertilizer they use?
