Gardeners: what’s the biggest fruit or vegetable you have grown?

This week, a US gardener set a new world record for the heaviest pumpkin ever grown. The gargantuan vegetable weighed in at more than 1,200kg.

Wherever you are in the world, we would like to hear about the biggest pieces of fruit and vegetables you have grown – and whether any records were broken in the process. How did you do it? Did you use pesticides or any other chemicals? Do you have photos of it growing? Did you eat it once it reached full size?
