Australian boy (13) grows world's longest cucumber

Keegan Meyers, 13, from the Eyre Peninsula has grown the world's largest cucumber - 1.3 metres long and weighing five kilograms, according to the World Record Academy.

Keegan began growing the heirloom sweet and striped cucumber on the Polda family farm in January.

The World's Longest Cucumber was given a healthy mix of fertiliser, cow manure and worms inside a glasshouse.

It officially measured 130.5cm long when it was picked on April 13. It beat the previous world record of 119.5cm held by a British grandmother.

The new world record was verified by the Australian Giant Pumpkin and Vegetable Society earlier this month.
