A new Guinness World Record for the longest turnip ever to be recorded was made this weekend. The venue was the Malvern Autumn Show, near Worcester.
Grower Joe Atherton was delighted to break the world record with a turnip measuring 4.064m. “Every time you plant a seed you hope it’s going to break a world record. “It’s brilliant to have won another record, I’m just delighted.”
Joe, who is retired, grows his giant vegetables in his back garden with the help of his wife Carmel.
