Peter Glazebrook entered his 8 pound 4 ounce spud into the giant vegetable competition Friday at the National Gardening Show in Shepton Mallet, Somerset, the BBC reported.

"I've been trying to grow these large for about 10 years and this is the largest I've managed," Glazebrook said. "It needs a long growing season to get as large as possible."
