Great Big Veggies
I’ve been around gardens my whole life. My grandparents had a massive one. It literally took up their entire backyard. They had everything from romaine lettuce, hot peppers, strawberries, and mint, to grape vines and fig trees brought over from Italy. Pretty amazing, considering they had a small house in suburban north Jersey, but, they never had anything quite like this.
This gardening enthusiast from Alaska is digging up some heavy duty fruits and veggies. Like a 39-pound turnip, a 64-pound cantaloupe, and a 75-pound rutabaga. Not to mention some very giant kohlrabi plants. Now that’s a lot of phytonutrients! Here’s the video:
Not sure what a kohlrabi is? I wasn’t either. So be sure to check out its page on Wikipedia:

The taste and texture of kohlrabi are similar to those of a broccoli stem or cabbage heart, but milder and sweeter, with a higher ratio of flesh to skin. The young stem in particular can be as crisp and juicy as an apple, although much less sweet. Except for the Gigante cultivar, spring-grown kohlrabi much over 5 cm in size tend to be woody, as do fall-grown kohlrabi much over perhaps 10 cm in size; the Gigante cultivar can achieve great size while remaining of good eating quality.
