David Beckhams Impressive Cotswold Veggie Garden

was out in his vegetable patch once again on Saturday as he showcased his impressive array of crops. 

The former footballer, 51, has swapped the grass pitch for raised beds and a flock of chickens in recent years. 

And taking to Instagram the star showed fans around the garden at his £12million Cotswold home which boasted lettuces, sweetcorn and strawberries. 

Donning his flat cap, he boasted: 'My sweetcorn is coming along, loving that and I must admit that lettuce looks rather good. It is all looking very lovely to be fair.' 

He then enjoyed a strawberry or two as he added: 'It's almost and we have some strawberries. 

'I love a good strawberry it reminds me of my Nan and Grandad.'

David has even bonded with King Charles over his love of horticulture after His Majesty invited the sportsman to put the finishing touches to their very special Chelsea Flower Show ‘Curious Garden’ back in April.

Following the meeting, Sir David, a King’s Foundation Ambassador, said: ‘Both The King’s Foundation and the RHS do such great work in protecting and promoting green spaces across the UK.

'I want to help encourage a new generation to appreciate the benefits of nature and get involved in gardening.

‘It’s been fun to be a part of creating the Curious Garden and I’m excited for people to see it at RHS Chelsea Flower Show.’

Meanwhile for his 51st birthday, David was gifted three chickens from his wife Victoria and family. 

Victoria filmed beaming David opening his birthday presents, a number of chickens, which she revealed were 'from the boys'.

She said: 'So it's David's birthday and this is what me and the kids bought him.'

As David opened the box revealing three chickens, Victoria added: 'From the boys, he's so pretty and cute'.
