I am glad the process went smoothly. The giant growers are lucky to have Ian Paton's help even though this is not an official GPC category.

Peter Glazebrook suggested that I make the source of the seeds of the World Record Heavy Carrot public. This carrot was grown from seeds that I received in January of 2016 from Medywyn Williams from the UK. Peter talked to Medwyn last weekend and now Medwyn now has seeds available to purchase again. If you are interested go to www.medwynsofanglesey.co.uk and look for the long carrot seeds for sale.
As Peter pointed out the most important thing for growing big is not the seeds but grower skill and environment.

Also Medwyn said he is willing to ship to the USA. The price is very reasonable also.

I disagree with Peter - I think the most important part is science - Science states: The carrot flow ratio of 3 to 1 minus 3 plus magnesium cotangent plus the copper to boron exchange capacity multiplied by the stew inverse relativity complex is critical for the carrots success .....actually it's luck - luck is the most important part :) - thank you everyone for the kind words.

He sure does Dan! I don't think I'm smart enough to grow a giant carrot lol.

All this fancy science talk...I suspect Qtip opened 3 cans of Dinty Moore mixed it into his garden and planted his carrot. He then watered with Gaterade all summer. The carrot overcame this in response to his young daughters playing nearby. Qtip did you start this one in their playroom again?

I tried to buy from the website you gave in your first post but it gave me an error about not being able to "find a route to fulfill the order" which is odd.
