In this charming photograph captured by NCJ in October 1980, we are introduced to the extraordinary Mr. Len Carr and his impressive collection of giant leeks. As an avid hobbyist with a passion for gardening, Mr. Carr has found a unique way to keep his prized leeks fresh - by storing them in his bathtub! The image transports us back to the 1980s, a time when leisurely pursuits and pastimes were cherished and celebrated. Mr. Carr's dedication to nurturing these colossal vegetables showcases not only his green thumb but also his unwavering commitment to his chosen craft. With an infectious smile on his face, Mr. Carr proudly poses alongside rows of enormous leeks that stretch from one end of the bathtub to another. The vibrant shades of green contrast beautifully against the pristine white porcelain backdrop, creating a visually striking composition.

It serves as a reminder that amidst life's hustle and bustle, finding solace in activities we love can provide respite for both mind and soul. NCJ's expert eye captures this whimsical scene with finesse, immortalizing Mr. Len Carr's remarkable achievement within the realm of horticulture while evoking nostalgia for an era defined by its slower pace and appreciation for traditional pastimes.
