The famed couple were seen spending some time together in their garden as David rummaged through his plot.
Playfully taking a clip of her husband, Victoria, 51, could be heard laughing away as David discovered his latest crop of vegetables had grown into a non-conventional shape.
As David excitedly pulled his vegetable out of the ground, he discovered that it had started to split at the end and grown in two different directions.
Alongside the clip, he penned: 'Exciting day today in my veggie garden , CARROTS but not exactly what I expected but to be fair it had Lady Beckham laughing. @victoriabeckham sorry about my carrot'
Victoria took to her own social media to gush over her husband and his passion project.
She shared a picture of the funny shaped vegetable as well a clip of her husband showcasing his large red onions.
The fashion designer then posted a pictured of her husband proudly stood in front of a sunset as they enjoyed their time in the garden.

He flaunted his bountiful harvest, with baskets brimming with potatoes, kale, carrots and cauliflower.
David previously upgraded his £12m Cotswold farmhouse with an expensive Alitex greenhouse.
Taking to Instagram at the time, David joked Victoria would be eating spring onions for lunch and dinner after a successful harvest.
He wrote: 'Looks like @victoriabeckham has a few spring onions for lunch and dinner for the next few weeks How am I doing @alatichmarshmbe.'

David added he was suffering from hay fever, but it certainly didn't stop from continuing his outdoor occupations.
'Not bad for my first try,' he said.
As well as gardening David previously shocked and delighted fans during lockdown when he revealed his newfound passion for beekeeping.
The ex-footballer fell in love with the hobby during the pandemic and even installed the hive in his garden - often sharing insights into the task with his followers.
In 2016, the family bought their converted barn in the Cotswolds, which has become a hub for the sports icon's new projects.

Kneecap's Glastonbury performance not ‘appropriate', says Keir Starmer
Kneecap's Glastonbury festival performance next Saturday is not 'appropriate', Keir Starmer has said. Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh appeared in court on Wednesday after allegedly displaying a flag in support of the proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah and saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' at a gig in November last year. In an interview with the Sun, the prime minister was asked if he thought the trio should perform at Glastonbury. 'No, I don't, and I think we need to come down really clearly on this,' Starmer said. 'This is about the threats that shouldn't be made, I won't say too much because there's a court case on, but I don't think that's appropriate.' Earlier on Saturday the Conservative party leader, Kemi Badenoch, said she thought the BBC 'should not be showing' Kneecap's performance at the festival. In a post on X, accompanied by an article from he Times that claimed the BBC had not banned the group, Badenoch said: 'The BBC should not be showing Kneecap propaganda. One Kneecap band member is currently on bail, charged under the Terrorism Act. 'As a publicly funded platform, the BBC should not be rewarding extremism.' Badenoch previously called for the group to be banned from Glastonbury. Last year Kneecap won a discrimination case against the UK government in Belfast high court after Badenoch tried to refuse them a £14,250 funding award when she was a minister in the previous government. A BBC spokesperson said: 'As the broadcast partner, the BBC will be bringing audiences extensive music coverage from Glastonbury, with artists booked by the festival organisers. 'Whilst the BBC doesn't ban artists, our plans will ensure that our programming will meet our editorial guidelines. Decisions about our output will be made in the lead-up to the festival.' On Wednesday, Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Cairealláin and JJ Ó Dochartaigh at Westminster magistrates court in 'Free Mo Chara' T-shirts. Ó hAnnaidh was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing on 20 August. After the hearing, the rapper said: 'For anybody going to Glastonbury, you can see us there at 4pm on the Saturday. 'If you can't be there we'll be on the BBC, if anybody watches the BBC. We'll be at Wembley in September. 'But most importantly: free, free Palestine.' The charge followed a counter-terrorism police investigation after gig footage came to light, which also allegedly showed the group calling for the deaths of MPs. In April, Kneecap apologised to the families of murdered MPs but said footage of the incident had been 'exploited and weaponised'.

Prince Harry 'will extend olive branch to King Charles and Prince William by inviting them to the next Invictus Games' - but finale is set to clash with Queen's 80th birthday
The Duke of Sussex is to extend an olive branch to the Royal Family by inviting them to the 2027 Invictus Games, the Mail on Sunday can reveal. In the strongest indication yet that Prince Harry is keen for a reconciliation with the King and other senior Royals, it is understood that an emailed invitation will be sent out later this month, followed by a formal invitation. Sources said the timing of the invitation was designed to give the family the best possible chance of attending, given that Charles is known to draw up his schedule up to three years in advance. But the extraordinary move, which could see Harry pictured with the Royal Family for the first time since the late Queen's funeral, has raised eyebrows among some commentators. Ingrid Seward said: 'The King might attend to show support for the Armed Forces and congratulate Harry on the most significant success in his life. 'The only reason the King is wary of associating with his son is that he no longer trusts him not to repeat their private conversations as he has done in the past. This goes for all the working members of the family.' Fellow royal commentator Katie Nicholl added: 'The King absolutely wants a relationship with his youngest son and with his grandchildren. He has an incredible capacity for forgiveness and he wants to be magnanimous in all of this and therefore there's certainly a possibility that the King might consider attending Invictus.' Despite the Royals' previously strong support for Invictus, the invitation – should anyone choose to accept it – is likely to cause some headaches for Royal aides as it involves a major scheduling conflict. The Games are set to open at Birmingham's NEC on July 12, 2027, and will conclude on July 17 – the day Queen Camilla turns 80 – for which there are likely to already be some celebrations planned. It also remains to be seen whether the Duke would risk bringing Meghan and their children Archie, six, and four-year-old Lilibet, to the UK for the event, having previously insisted he could not do so unless the family were offered 'full police protection'. 'Harry has agreed that Invictus should extend an invitation to his family,' a source told The Mail on Sunday. 'Invictus hopes the Royal Family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part. Harry is hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend the Invictus Games and support veterans. 'The Royals have always been hugely supportive of Invictus and proud of what Harry has achieved in that arena. This is one olive branch from him which might be reciprocated.' Harry, 40, made it clear in a BBC interview last month that he would welcome a rapprochement with his father and with the wider family, despite acknowledging the hurt caused by his brutally honest memoir, Spare. 'There's no point in continuing to fight any more,' he said. 'Life is precious.' And he added: 'Forgiveness is 100 per cent a possibility because I would like to get my father and brother back.' The Invictus invitations are thought to represent the first time Harry has publicly reached out in a bid to gather his family together. The invitees and the wording of the invitations are said to have been approved by Harry, with the emails being sent to private secretaries at the Palace. The Games are expected to bring significant economic and social benefit to Birmingham. A spokesman for Invictus said: 'No formal invitations have been issued as preparations are in the early stages.'

Bottle brand Air Up sniffs UK success
A scented water brand backed by actors Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis is targeting the UK for expansion. Air Up, which sells bottles that make water taste like fruit and soda, is aiming to crack Britain following success in Germany. The Munich-based company, which is 1 per cent owned by the Hollywood couple, sells water bottles that can be fitted with scented 'pods'. These emit smells which trick the brain into thinking the water is flavoured. The bottles start at £30, while pods for flavours such as watermelon and bubblegum start at £5. While UK customers can already buy the bottles online, Air Up chief executive Christian Hauth said the brand was looking to stock its products in more shops across Britain. Air Up is sold in Boots and Sainsbury's but agreements with more major retailers are expected in the coming weeks. 'We're hitting open doors and open arms in the UK,' Hauth said. 'The main goal for us is to be as ubiquitous as possible and, for that, we need to be where the customer is.' Since it launched in the UK in 2021, Air Up has raked in more than £100 million in sales from British customers, thanks in part to a social media advertising blitz.
