his 15 pound or 6.8 kilogram vegetable some may say this record-breaking leak was just a lucky entry but Paul has been in the leap growing business for over 20 years now when it comes to growing large vegetables and especially leeks Paul suggests using supplementary lighting and growing them inside as the outside environment can damage the leaks from external elements he grows his own Yorkshire giant plants and has even started breeding his only cria tea which he named after his granddaughter le leek growing actually runs in his family as his late father was also a gardener I wish that my late father could have been here to see it I know he would have been proud Paul stated after winning his heavy leek title number five avocado known as the Mozilla's the Australian grown fruits are

first harvested by combining two kinds of avocados found in West India and Guatemala and now the grooves family has planted more than 400 avocado trees in Queensland Australia these commercially in-demand avocados have become the talk of the town but since the trees of the gigantic a bacillus can't produce as much as the normal sized avocado trees these special fruits are only sold in a few stores these avocados are so creamy and large in size that one can actually spread across 12 to 20 slices of avocado toast if you want to get your hand or more appropriately both hands on this

the plant roots number 3 lemon you know what they say life gives you lemons you try to grow the biggest one of them all in 2003 an incredible discovery was made by our own team in oil who owns a farm in Israel became the record holder of the heaviest lemon in the world his citrus farm housed many types of fruit but none came close to the gigantic lemon that earned the Guinness World Record title the heaviest lemon in the world weighed in at eleven point nine pounds or 5.2 kilograms and was even heavier than an adult human head the proportions of the fruit were also impressive to say the least the lemons circumference was 29 inches or 74 centimeters and was thirteen point seven inches or 35 centimeters long but what makes this record breaker so shocking was the fact that it grew with another large lemon by its side not to mention how nearly two decades later this infamous lemon still holds its coveted title the only other case of large lemon that was noteworthy was a 4.4 pound or two kilogram lemon that was grown by Jose Antonio Molina in 2012 number two cantaloupe on August 5th of 2019 a world record for the largest cantaloupe was broken the cantaloupe also known as the sweet melon normally weighs around two to ten pounds but William and McCaslin managed to grow fruit so big it exceeded everyone's expectations winning over the previous record-holder by only 1.1 pounds

survivor whose hard work paid off after his cantaloupe grew to be sixty five point nine pounds almost thirty kilograms the fruit grew slowly at his garden and after months of pampering and feeding it with micronutrients the cantaloupe became the largest cantaloupe in the world but it only took William and McCaslin one whole year to overshadow Fester before we move on to number one let's take a look at two of the longest vegetables to ever be grown the longest parsnip and radish in September of 2017 an avid large vegetable grower an aficionado Joe Atherton went home with two new records and prizes at the UK national giant vegetables championship which consists of 29 categories John presented his 21 foot or 655 centimeter long parsnip and his 22 foot or 670 centimeter long radish both of these shockingly lengthy vegetables were soon awarded the Guinness World Record titles in a video blog Joe opens up about how he manages to grow such long and stunning vegetables he says the secret is to grow the vegetables at a 45 degree angle and in homemade tunnels for better maintenance if anyone wants to grow long vegetables we highly suggest following Joe's advice as he's already broken not one not two but three world records even once breaking his previous record for longest parsnip in the world the longest carrot Chris quale who has been growing large fruits for years one day stumbled upon his oddly shaped tangled carrot which soon landed him a world-record this gigantic vegetable stood at twenty two point seven pounds or ten point one seven kilograms and weighed heavier than a

intended to grow large vegetables and growing the largest carrot was his goal the only person to have a bite of the heaviest carrot in the world was his mother-in-law who desperately wanted to hold the title and while it was completely edible Chris decided to replant it in the hope that it will see it again do you want to know quale secret for growing massive fruit its soil seeds and lots of fertilizer but don't think this is the end for Chris even though giant vegetable growing is his relatively new hobby he wants to expand his works and break more records with enormous pumpkins and
