Harrogate Autumn Flower Show

It was enough to bring a tear to every gardener’s eye yesterday as pensioner Peter Glazebrook set a new record for the world’s heaviest onion.

The monster vegetable tipped the scales at 17lbs 15 and a half ounces - breaking the previous world record of 16lbs 8.37 ounces held by John Sifford, of the West Midlands, since 2005.

He currently holds three other world records - heaviest potato, heaviest parsnip, and longest beetroot.

wow! i have never seen a crop of peppers come in in October like this. i have so many! green and red, picked a dozen today. they are huge and firm, i have to do something with them. tomorrow is going to be stuffed peppers for sure. even so...sheesh. i hate cutting them up and freezing them. but i have to, or use them all this week.

I did but they came out like my tomato plants. I did take all the green ones in and they are turning red slowly good enough for spaghetti sauce. My peppers only flowered. Next year will be different God willing.
