He might be a world-class DJ, but touring the world and performing at festivals can be pretty stressful at times, so Calvin Harris has now revealed how he likes to enjoy a bit of downtime. Taking to Instagram to share his love for growing his own veg, Calvin told his fans it was a great achievement.

Over the past few weeks the 'Summer' DJ has posted a few different photos showing some colourful carrots, red onions and most recently Mark Ronson has re-posted Calvin's story showing off a huge haul of orange and purple carrots. 😱

Calvin's flurry of photos comes after fellow DJ Mark Ronson chatted about Calvin's unusual hobby on Sunday Brunch at the weekend. The DJ/producer said, "By the way Calvin Harris has been posting pictures of his carrot garden lately. It's usually like a big festival picture and then you scroll and it's just his carrots."

Mark continued, "I have carrot envy from Calvin Harris because he has a garden that he obviously cares a lot about."

Who knew one of the most successful DJs around was also a keen gardener.
