A six stone 12 pound (43.5kg) titan of a pumpkin is John Frost’s latest vast vegetable.
He said: “I have been growing vegetables for about 50 years but they have not been like this before. I have won a lot of prizes at vegetable shows and I think it is nice for people to see it, because they would have never seen anything like that before.”
The mighty veg were grown on the village’s allotments behind the church.
He added: “Most people know I grow a lot of good vegetables; when we had the village show I had won the cup every year for years and years.”
He said what made the sizes of the vegetables even more surprising was the recent dry weather.
Mr Frost has been teaching his neighbour Freddie Winder about gardening.
