July 6 (UPI) -- A British competitive gardener's summer crop earned him two world records, including one for a head of garlic weighing more than 3 pounds.
Gloucestershire grower Graham Barratt took his vegetables to Wargrave Nursery Plant Center in Berkshire, England, to be assessed on June 25.
His bulb of elephant garlic, a larger variety than a typical bulb purchased from a grocery store, tipped the scales at 3 pounds and 13.7 ounces. It was measured with a diameter of 7.5 inches.
The pungent plant earned him the Guinness World Record for the heaviest elephant garlic.
