With good ground and plenty of rain, some plants have produced huge vegetables!
Some peppers weigh almost a pound, and are nearly too big to hold in one hand.
This onion weighed 1.75 pounds (but it had some soft spots so we had to eat it ourselves).
Dad put in a couple plants of heirloom tomatoes, and they aren't pretty, but they do get big. This one weighs one pound, 13 ounces. The melon beside the cut tomato below is not a cantaloupe (we don't have any tomatoes that big), it's a small, softball-sized melon. It still makes the ice cream scoop look like a teaspoon.
The cabbage has gotten particularly big this year! This monster head weighs 14 1/2 pounds. (Mom made cabbage and noodles yesterday, so I know that they're not only big, but also sweet.)
