Orchard Giants

  • There are people for everything. It's nothing new, but sometimes it's fun to know what our species is for and what it gets. He did not go well until some have shown him that he is more than a neighbour and distant. And you see increasingly strange circumstances, ridiculous people in public. Records are a clear example of that path: who gets the biggest pumpkin, who gets the longest carrot ...

Paul Rochester munduko porru handienarekin. 10,7 kiloko pisua zuen.

Competitions are not joking either. For example, the giant's world record in giant squash (Cucurbita pepo) is the Belgian Mathias Willemijns, who took a 1.190 kilogram weight copy at the European Championship of Gourmand Giants held in 2016 in Ludwigsburg, Germany. According to the Guinness Book of Records, Chris Qualley of Minnesota (EE.UU. ), marked in September 2017 the world's heaviest carrot brand, Daucus carota, with a dirty carrot of 10.17 kilos. According to the same book, the longest carrot ever measured is that produced by Jon Atherton from Mansfield Woodhouse England in 2016, with the variety “St Valery” and cared for for 14 months: It lasted at 6,245 meters. There is nothing else to do, that man, and the beet that has been put on him (Beta vulgaris subsp. conditiva), 7.95 meters, and pastinaca (Pastinaca sativa), 7.49 meters. The heaviest beet brand has been in the hands of Gareth and Kevin Fortey from England since 2019: 23,995 kilos. Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. The oldest (italica) is old, from 1993, and is in the hands of the American John Evans: 15.87 kilos. The cauliflower is Peter Glazebrook from England, 2014, weighing 27.48 kg. In 2014, Jason Karl EE.UU. He created the 74-meter-long corn. With cucumin (Cucumis sativus) there are two brands, both in England; the longest, Ian Neale, with 107 centimeters; and the heaviest, David Thomaena, with 12.89 kilos. The head of Ajos (Allium sativum) is also the largest brand in the world, in 1985, and comes from the United States, with 1.19 kilos of weight and created by Robert Kirkpatrick. The biggest leek (Allium porrum) was cared for and raised by Paul Rochester, from England, in 2018: 10.7 kilos. The largest of the onions (Allium strain) is the one in 2014, the one in England, an 8.47 kilos head of Tony Glover. The biggest potato (Solanum tuberosum) is that of 2011 and that of the English Peter Glazebrook: 4.98 kilos. The largest tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) comes from the United States, 2016 and Dan Sutherland: 3,905 kg. Arbirik (Brassica rapa subsp. The largest of these territories is also rap, preserved by Scott Robbe in 2004, with a weight of 17.78 kilos. In sunflowers (Helianthus annuus), the highest mark is that of the German Hans-Peter Schiffer, with 8.03 meters, and that of the Canadian Emily Martin, with 82 centimeters in diameter.

Who wants those huge vegetables? They will be rude in the area of the little sweets in our vegetable garden. For whom to have records and brands. It's curious, but almost everyone is acquired in England and the United States. Are strangers crowded in it? There is little margin to be famous or reputed to be eccentric... A fine grain of garlic.
