I’m not sure how this man did it but it’s totally works!
The machine operator from Seaham, County Durham, revealed the surprise secret of his success after lifting the world title at the World Leek and Onion Championships.

Judges at the competition could not fail to be impressed by the pick of his crop, a 15lb 6oz onion. It was judged the best onion in the annual show, at the Northern Club, in Ashington, Northumberland.

While he used all the green finger tips he learned from his late father Wilfrid, in the propagation of his champion vegetables, it was the added extra of playing his Glenn Miller tapes while nursing his allotment crop that may have tipped the scales.

Good nutrients, soil conditions and watering techniques may all be required, but seems renditions of tunes such as Pennsylvania 6500 and Tuxedo Junction added the vital missing ingredient. Man… this is not an easy job to do ….
