Records for the heaviest courgette and the longest bean were broken during the two-day event at the Royal Jersey Showground in Trinity.
Eric Le Ruez wowed the judges with the heaviest vegetable – his 337 lb pumpkin – and Winter and Enid de Gruchy smashed the record for the heaviest courgette with their 16 lb 9 oz effort. The previous record was a 6 1b 15 oz courgette grown in 2008.
