Red Cabbage (brassica oleracea capitata rosa) 45.25 lb 1994 world record.

(Photo: The weigh- in at the Alaska State Fair.) Cabbages require rich soil with a high ph and require high nitrogen fertilizer throughout the growing season, it is important to support the lower leaves for good air flow and to give them plenty of space to grow.

Of all the vegetables that I have grown I wish that I could have shown you our Swiss Chard (no photo). It was a 71.750 lb 1995 (unlisted) world record. It was over 9 foot tall and took three people to carry it to the trailer. We hope you are enjoying our garden.  Check back from time to time as we hope to continue breaking records!

Some of our other Swiss Chard pictures are going to be here shortly that will astound you!
