It is a good year for me at the State Fair for my giant veggies! I got 5 blue ribbons and first places for all my entries-giant zucchini, giant pear gourd, giant long gourd, giant tomato and giant greenie) and 2 I entered for Elodie ( a second giant zucchini and a tomato) took second places and got red ribbons. We still have bigger veggies waiting for the national contest in Colorado in October…
They’re going to have to give your competitors a handicap so they keep coming.

Hi Jannine,
Congratulations to you and your excellent gardening! I come home from Seattle to Las Vegas and find five weeks of weeds from all the rain we have had recently, and incredibly hundreds of greeeen tomatoes. Did somebody forget to tell them it was past time for them to ripen? Apparently others around here have the same problem. The pumpkins squash, zucchini, and broccoli seems to be doing well.
Good going!
Gene

how do you grow such giant veggies?

Start with an Atlantic Giant Pumpkin seed, then put in a good dose of fertilizer and water and lots of labor!

Hi Jeanene, I love the photos of the giant veggies. I was down at the State Fair yesterday – and tried to find them – but wasn’t sure where to look. I went to the Flower Exhibit. Where should I have looked instead? Take care, Laurie (from Sole’s party – and the baseball game)

Hi Laurie-
The vegetables are exhibited in the Agricultural Bldg. Too bad you missed them after looking for them! There will always be next year!
