The 44-year-old more than quadrupled the Guinness World Record.
Have you cultivated abundant fruits and vegetables this year?
After two and a half hours of picking 5,891 tomatoes from a single plant, a champion vegetable gardener broke the world record for the most tomatoes on a single plant.
Douglas Smith weighed more than 20 kg of red and green tomatoes, the equivalent of two standard mountain bikes.
Following his harvest in 2013, Surjit Singh Kainth of Coventry, West Midlands, held the previous record of 1,355, which was surpassed by the 44-year-crop old’s by more than fourfold.
This achievement follows the father’s two previous Guinness World Records, which included’most tomatoes on a single truss,’ which stood at 1,269.

Back in his backyard, the 44-year-old father knelt and posed in front of his hand-picked tomatoes. It took him two and a half hours to pick, collect, and weigh the enormous haul of red and green tomatoes, which weighed a total of twenty pounds.

Mr. Smith and his companions harvest his world-record-setting plant in a greenhouse. The IT manager hopes his efforts will be recognized officially.
And the IT manager, who lives in Stanstead Abbotts, Hertfordshire, with his son Stellan and wife Piper, now hopes that this year’s record attempt will also be recognized.
Matthew Oliver from RHS Hyde Hall and Emily Adcock, Paul Cramp, and Spencer Dockray from Amberley Garden Services aided Douglas.
Two independent witnesses, Reverend Sarh Forrest and Parish Council Chair Mike Dormon, also reviewed the document.

The 44-year-old father was depicted with his arms outstretched as if he were attempting to measure something. His feat followed two previous Guinness World Records, including’most tomatoes on a single truss,’ which stood at 1,269.
Douglas previously made headlines in 2020 when he grew the tallest sunflower in the United Kingdom, which at 20 feet towered over his home.
According to data, each year the British consume more than 500,000 tons of tomatoes.
Simultaneously, an amateur gardener has grown the longest cucumber in the world on his allotment.
The remarkable salad vegetable created by Sebastian Suski is four times as long and twenty times as heavy as the standard store type.
If sliced, the three-foot-eight-inch long, eight-kilogram beast could yield almost 400 cucumber sandwiches.
Last week, the father of four from Southampton, Hampshire was thrilled to learn that it is the largest in history.

His extraordinarily long veggie broke the previous Guinness World Record by 6.4 centimeters.
Since 25 May, the 44-year-old, who works nights packing contact lenses, has been cultivating organic cucumbers in a polytunnel.
And he claims that his secret is drinking warm water daily, rather than cold.
Mr. Suski refers to his prize cucumber as “his baby” and wraps ‘her’ in a blanket to keep her safe at home.
According to him, his four children, ages three to fifteen, did not previously share his passion for producing enormous veggies, but after receiving their father’s official world record certificate, they changed their opinions.
Mr. Suski remarked, “The children were uninterested, but now that I have this world record, they are.” They initially stated, “Daddy can’t win,” but after seeing this, they exclaimed, “Wow!”
Renata, his wife, stepped in to care for his king-sized cucumber at a key period while he was hospitalized, thereby assisting him in his attempt to break the world record.
Mr. Suski: “A bleeding blood artery was discovered in my brain, so I spent a week in the hospital. Fortunately, my wife Renata was available to care for the cucumber and keep her hydrated and fed.
Without Renata, I would not possess this album.
Mr. Suski, who is also cultivating enormous watermelons and butternut squash, has received favorable feedback from his allotment neighbors.
He stated, “Many of them came over to congratulate me when I broke the record.” They were not at all envious.
Mr. Suski has grand intentions for his enormous cucumber, but it will not be used to make sandwiches or tzatziki anytime soon.
The large vegetable cultivator stated, “I will save the seeds so I can cultivate more large cucumbers in the future.”
“The meat is no longer edible as it has reached its peak ripeness, so I will compost it.”
It will be beneficial to my other plants because it contains many nutrients.
Mr. Suski gave aspiring large-scale vegetable growers a number of recommendations, including avoiding the use of a hosepipe for watering.
He stated, “Only water from a can containing warm water.”
A person would be horrified if I threw cold water all over them, and the same is true with cucumbers. Cold water will be fatal.
Additionally, care must be taken not to overwater them. One or two watering cans every day ought to suffice.
