How much does your aubergine weigh Mrs?

Who's watching the live coverage of the national giant vegetable competition on the BBC news site?

Only in England 😂😂

Maggie Walters, from Plymouth, has just scooped a huge £1,000 prize after coming first in the heaviest aubergine competition.

Maggie says she "never expected" to win, but it has come as a "nice surprise all round".

The aubergine, which weighs in at 3.95kg, has been growing in a polytunnel, using irrigation from a borehole. It is one of eight plants that Maggie grew in a bid to claim the top spot.

"On Tuesday, when we came to harvest, we found a lot of them have gone a bit mushy," she tells me. "We parted the foliage a bit more and at the back there was this bad boy."

No, but i will take a look. With the hot wearher we had this summer, my beefsteak tomatoes were the biggest I've ever grown.
