The Australian teenager 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 13April, and 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.
