he cheats!
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.
