The UK's largest greenhouse opens

200x190.jpg
A greenhouse housing more than half a million tomato and pepper plants has started production in the UK.

The construction is so big you could fit 19 Premiership football pitches inside, or Heathrow's Terminal 5 building ... twice.

Staff have now planted the 500,000 plants, so even if they don't have green fingers, they will have tired ones.

Bosses say Kent's 'Thanet Earth' - a 91-hectare complex of seven humungous greenhouses -  will soon grow 12 percent of all the salad consumed in the UK.

But remember, you could grow ALL of the salad consumed in Scotland on your window ledge.
