Three world records were set in the UK in September: the world’s heaviest red cabbage (31.6kg); the word’s longest salsify (5.6 metres); and the world’s longest beetroot (8.6 metres); and the UK’s heaviest ever pumpkin weighed in at 1,176.5kg in October. Australian Kathy Ffoulkes, from Shoalwater in Western Australia, was also entered into the Guinness World Records in 2020 for growing the world’s longest snake melon, which measured 136cm. It weighed in at a whopping 867kg, beating the previous record for Australia’s heaviest pumpkin of 743kg, also held by Oliver.

Think about how much space you have: this will be the greatest limitation on what you can grow. Also think about how long things take to grow - cabbages, for instance, are slow to mature and take up precious space all season.These days pumpkin-growing competitions are dominated by Atlantic giants, a breed developed in Nova Scotia in the 1970s and reputed to taste horrible. “It was selected for its enormousness not its palatability,” Sansom said.

Home gardeners who wish to see how big those varieties can get are advised to follow the same basic formula as Oliver: prepare your soil with rich organic matter and keep the water up.
