   Longest cucumber - world record set by Clare Pearce

setting the new world record for the Longest cucumber.

Mrs Pearce planted the Cucumber Melonie seeds in the greenhouse in the back garden of her home in Whittlesey, near Peterborough, in May.

   
The 78-year-old grandmother of 12 said: “At times it was like it was growing before my eyes. I couldn’t quite believe it. I’ve never grown cucumbers before but I knew it was massive. "

    The previous world record for the Longest cucumber was a a three-foot, ten-inch long cucumber ( 46.5 inches, about 118 cm ) grown by Israeli Yitzhak Yazdanpana.

   The previous Guinness World Record for the longest cucumber was set almost two years ago by Frank Dimmock of Thame in Oxfordshire. His effort reached 41.25in.
    
“I’ve no idea why they grew to be so big,” added Mrs Pearce, a retired administrator.

    “I just watered them. The only thing I can think that I did differently was that once, fairly early on, I was feeding the tomatoes with tomato feed and I had a bit too much, so I used up what was left on the cucumbers.”
