  Heaviest swede: Ian Neale set world record

 
 NEWPORT, UK -- Green-fingered gardener Ian Neale, 68, from Newport, South Wales, has grown an 85.62lb (38.92kg) swede – just over six stone – setting the world record for the Heaviest swede, according to World Record Academy (www.worldrecordacademy.com).

  The Guinness world record for the heaviest swede weighed 37.6 kg (82 lb 14 oz) and was presented by Scott Robb (USA) at the Alaska State Fair in Palmer, Alaska, USA.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest tomato plant - it covers an area of 56.73 m² (610.63 ft²) at the Epcot Science project at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA.
  
  He said: "You have got to put a lot into it, you've got to let it take over your life. If you are not going to try to win, then don't do it."

   The swede is also known as yellow turnip, Swedish turnip and Russian turnip and, in America, rutabaga.

  The keen gardener, whose passion for giant vegetables started with a bet between friends over who could grow the biggest onion 30 years ago, grows everything from giant melons and tomatoes to carrots and parsnips.

  He spends up to 70 hours week perfecting his crop during the peak of the gardening season and will wind down the season at two shows in Malvern and Peterborough this month., The South Wales reports.

  Mr Neale will now take clippings and seeds from the vegetables ready for next year's crop and feed the rest to livestock on a local farm.
