Welcome to Q-Did You Know?
I’m Quisha, your companion on the journey of world discovery!
You know what!
Whenever farmers start planting and seeding their trees, of course they all want to see
the ripe, fresh final fruits of the trees after years and months right.
And yeah, that is just a normal process in planting, however, what if one day, the sweet
potato that you grow is 80kg?
Or the squash weighing up to 1 ton?
And more incredibly, a pumpkin as heavy as a car?
That must be so shocking right But that’s not all, there are many more
surprises waiting for you in this whole video
Now, let’s come with
Amazed at 9 giant vegetables
Number 9: Giant pumpkin
Well of course you all have seen many giant pumpkins on TV and that is not rare at all
But, what about a pumpkin weighing up to 1 ton?
Are you curious about it?
Yes, it is the pumpkin grown by Stuart and Ian Paton in England
They spent 5 hours per day to take care of their pumpkin, watering 380l of water for
it right at their farm in Pennington, Hampshire.
And what is more surprising is that, this pumpkin gained 27kg per day
At the moment, these 2 brothers are extremely happy
because they have beaten their own record in the past
They started growing pumpkin 10 years ago
and accidentally realized that their pumpkin can grow up and expand its size quickly and enormously
Ian is planning to beat the record of the
biggest pumpkin in the world, which weighed up to 1.190kg and was grown by Mathis Willemijns,
a farmer from Belgium
Number 8: Giant squash
You can easily spot many big and huge squashes in your local supermarket
However, a squash that weighs up to 50-60kg
might only be found in Binh Dinh province, Vietnam
This little village is known as a “squash
town” located in Bàu Chách Trạch, Chách Trạch 1, Mỹ Thọ, Phu My district, Bình
Định province.
This town is well-known with their one-of-a-kind squash weighing up to 50-60kg, there was even
one weighed up to 80kg Different than the regular truss of regular
squash, the truss in Bàu Chánh Trạch village is always replaced and renewed by the villagers
firmly
And as a matter of fact, the squash can only
be big like this when it is grown right in this town.
Maybe because of the high-quality soil that Mother of Nature gave to this town
Number 7: Giant onion
Tony Glover is a farmer in Moira, Derbyshire.
He was known as the man who grew an onion weighing up to 8.5kg, with a size of 81cm,
25 times bigger than regular onions.
And it is recognized as the biggest onion in the world, beating the previous one which
weighed less than 300 gram As what I know so far, we can make 250 portions
of Bhajee with this onion, or French-style soup served for 36 people, and even 50 portions
of onion rings served for 50 customers Glover shared that he started growing onion
in the greenhouse since last October as the greenhouse will provide enough coldness in
the winter, cooling effect during summer and provide enough lighting effect for the onions.
Also, the moist within the soil is also one of the most beneficial tricks that helps this
onion growing incredibly fast
Number 6: Giant carrot
A 34-year-old man from Minnesota, USA, named
Chris Qualley has made the social media become so chaotic with the heaviest carrot that he
grew.
Chris Qualley is well-known as a passionate farmer.
That’s why in these recent years, he started investing and upgrading his farm in an aim
of producing many more giant vegetables in the world
Recently, he has proudly showed to everyone his latest product, a carrot weighing up to
20.3kg, and to be more accurate, it has broken the previous record of the biggest carrot
in the world, which weighed 18kg from Nottinghamshire, UK.
But what’s more surprising is that, the carrot that Chris grew has a very weird yet,
attractive appearance, right?
Number 5: giant cabbage
Growing a cabbage is not an easy task, especially
for those who are impatient cuz it requires lots of effort, time and good weather conditions.
But, Mr Bryan Calder from Forfar, England, has successfully grown such a giant cabbage,
which is 50 times bigger than the regular one
It has a diameter of 1.5m, damn, you can make 300 bowls of soup with only 1 cabbage like this.
But you know what's more surprising?
I’m not gonna spill some tea but to be honest, Mr Bryan didn’t spend too much effort to
take care for this cabbage because it was grown 100% naturally, that is so strange right?
Number 4: giant watermelon
Recently, workers from a farm in China has
collected such giant watermelons
There were 4 giant watermelons in total, weighing up to 268.5kg so basically each of them has
an average weight of 67.1kg, in which the biggest one weighing up to 69.5kg
As what I’ve known so far, Trấn Ngụy Doanh is a town in China which is well-known
with their naturally-grown watermelons.
With the professional planting technique, along with good weather conditions, this town
has produced lots of sweet and ripe watermelons that is hard to find across the world
Because of the heavy rainy season last year that they got such a giant watermelon weighing
up to 96.5kg.
But this year the weather is kinda… tough so the biggest one that they got was 69.5kg,
still incredibly big right
Number 3: giant broccoli
This giant broccoli with a diameter of 1.8m
is grown my Mr Peter Glazebrook from UK and is known as the biggest broccoli in the world
Mr Peter Glazebrook, 69 years old, from Newark,UK,
started gaining more popularity as he
has successfully grown many giant vegetables And one of his broccolis even weighed up to
27.5kg, 20 times bigger than regular broccoli we see in our local supermarket.
Due to his professional plant-growing techniques, that his broccoli is now recorded as the biggest
broccoli in the world And it’s obvious that he and his wife took
lots of effort to have this giant broccoli grown after such a long time
Number 2: giant potato
Recently, people in Brazil just found a huge
potato weighing up to 80kg Although Mrs Rosaneida Pereira de Oliveira
has confirmed that she was the owner of this potato, yet, people still suspect her
Mrs Rosaneida, 50 years old, shared that in order to lift up this potato, it requires
the strength of 3 men.
And just try taking a look at the root of it, you can tell that this potato has been
grown for years It was known that when she was cleaning her
garden, she suddenly found this huge potato along with a giant pineapple weighing up to 15kg.
This is not the first time her family received such miracle like this, because before that,
they also found a huge jicama weighing up to 10kg lying deeply under her yard.
That is so surprising
Number 1: the king of giant vegetables
Deserves to be listed as the top 1 of this
list when he is the owner of many giant vegetables in this world.
From a cabbage with a 9m diameter, a pumpkin weighing up to 44.4kg, or a cucumber with
a weight of 8.3kg…and, many more huge-sized vegetables found in the garden of Mr Phillip
Vowles
Mr Phillip Vowles – the owner of this miraculous garden is currently living with his wife in
Llanharry, Wales On his 4000m square garden, there are lots
of huge and giant vegetables grown by him which can served as a super nutritious meal
for his family
“The vegetables grow amazingly fast that
even my neighbors can’t even notice”.
This farmer also said “most of them only took 4-6 weeks to be fully grown like that”.
What’s more surprising is that, these vegetables all taste so fresh and are extremely high-quality
It must be so satisfying if your garden has one of the previous vegetables right?
