A quick look around the Giant Vegetable Competition at the Harrogate Show. These are hideous looking specimens grown purely for bulk and not for quality or looks. The complete opposite of the exhibition part of the show. This year the Guinness World Record was broken for the Biggest / Heaviest Onion and also the Heaviest Carrot grown by Peter Glazebrook.. There are classes for all sorts from pumpkins, and marrows to the longest cucumber and runner bean. It's a bit of fun and some of the things are enormous, but inedible.
