Europe’s largest-ever vegetable is a 1,341lb pumpkin, grown in a
purpose-built polytunnel at Worgret Manor Farm in Wareham, Dorset by
father and son farmers Mark and Frank Baggs.

The record pumpkin needed:

* 80 gallons of water a day
* six tonnes of manure
* lots of sun, showers and humidity

The world’s heaviest-ever pumpkin weighed in at 1,502lbs and was grown by Ron Wallace of Rhode Island, USA.
