Malaysia: UK grower cultivates giant pumpkins
Bevan was approached by Malaysian dignitaries who had heard of his reputation for growing giant veg.
He visited the country three times during the growing process to tend to the vegetables and said that the pumpkins are "bigger than armchairs" and he would need a helicopter to move them.
"They are already massive and they are still growing," he said.
They are so heavy - Mr Bevan estimates more than 140 kg (about 20 stone) - that he does not think he could get them on a truck once they are full sized.
He said: "They wanted them as big as they could get, which is what we are trying to do.
"The Malaysian jungle is a good environment for these giant plants."
Once they have fully grown the plants will go on display.
However some of Mr Bevan's vegetables have been put to other uses - last year he donated some to be crushed by a truck a charity event in Northamptonshire.
"They have taken me to some interesting places," he said.
In 2010 a delegation of Chinese politicians and business leaders persuaded Mr Bevan to show them how to grow giant plants and he has also shared his tips with Prince Charles at various shows including at Highgrove.
