NEWARK, UK - Peter Glazebrook of Newark, UKPeter Glazebrook of Newark, UK turned heads at the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show this year with a whopping 20lb carrot. Although the carrot has yet to be certified by the Guinness Book of World Records, according to the World Carrot Museum, its reported weight would easily topple the previous record holder, John Evans' 18.985lb show-stopper.

These carrots would make even Bugs Bunny pause for breath. Just how does someone like Peter Glazebrook, who according to the Daily Mail also holds the world record for world's largest cauliflower, longest turnip, and heaviest potato, grow these giant offerings?

This BBC interview with Glazebrook from September 2013 reveals the secret to Glazebrook's giant vegetable technique:

Interestingly, Glazebrook's record for largest onion was just broken by another grower featured on AndNowUKnow: Tony Glover and his 18lb 11oz onion.

Congratulations to Peter Glazebrook for this incredibly impressive accomplishment! I'll be looking forward to seeing you join the Guinness Book of World records very soon.
