WORLD RECORD
In Leicestershire, where champion gardener Tony Glover’s mouth-watering 8.5 kilogramme (18 lb 12 oz) beast could make an entire kitchen cry, this lyric resonates particularly strongly. It took almost a year to develop, is 81 cm (32 in) in diameter, and can produce 250 onion bhajis. The 50-year-old Glover has been growing vegetables since he was a teenager, and he, well, really knows his onions: “I feed them a nitrogen-rich meal and have to make sure the humidity is exactly perfect. Additionally, I’ve installed grow lights in the greenhouse to mimic the sun as the days become shorter. That takes a lot of work.
