A giant brussel sprout weighing nearly one and a half pounds was discovered by market gardener Carol Farley, of Culm Valley Organics, Uffculme, Devon, growing alongside its normal sized siblings. This supersize veg is 50 times heavier than the average sprout. Mrs Farley, said yesterday: “We’ve got over an acre of sprout plants growing which is thousands of plants and this one sprout was growing in the middle on a stalk…We use plenty of farmyard manure to fertilise the plants. Maybe that’s the secret.”
