It's a battle of the giants at Harrogate Autumn Flower Show
New for 2011 was a series of classes for giant vegetables adding mammoth marrows, tremendous tomatoes and colossal cucumbers to the traditional displays of top class fruit, vegetables and flowers. Sponsored by Keith Foster Exhibition Seeds, the new classes included the heaviest marrow, cabbage, potato and tomato, plus the longest runner bean and cucumber.
Peter Glazebrook, from Newark, won the classes for the heaviest cabbage (64lb 2oz), heaviest potato (6lb 10.75oz), heaviest tomato (2lb 11.25oz), longest runner bean (31 inches) and longest cucumber (32.5 inches). The heaviest marrow was won by Mr J Reid with a whopper weighing in at 107lb 6oz.
