Last year we came up with a kohlrabi that was about the size of a basket ball, didn't grab picture. We set it out at market and asked people to guess the weight......it was 10 pounds, so more like bowling ball instead of basket ball

Not especially big for a pumpkin, but I prefer real pumpkins to those "giant" ones:

Not bad

I celebrated in the year 1999 plowing an acre size plot in the corner of one of dad's woodses for a huge garden. It was my third or fourth attempt at growing a giant pumpkin. My previous best was 454 pounds (with dog and plow). In 1999 I got one at 541 pounds. Soon after I learned it helps to bury the vines with soil (the vines root) and delay the pumpkin's maturity by keeping it in shade. It was a half mile haul to bring water and fertilizer to the plot, but that was fun with the atv.

2013 was a great year for us with our Candy onions. I estimated 14,000 lbs off of less than an acre. 80% were a lb or larger, probably 30% were 3 pounders. Not a bad crop sold roadside for $1 a lb. We probably gave away to the food bank or lost 3000#. Here are some pics of them curing on wagons.

For some reason this pair of pictures didn't load. I had a lot of sweet corn and all sorts of decorative stuff in that plot too.

that a nice sweet tater.....last time we had that size turnips we worked them under a few weeks after they were started, have to try and rig up a seed spreader (of some sort) on the back of the planter this year otherwise ours are planted and grow to close together to grow to a good size.

Kind of a day late, but here goes anyway.
I posted these under another topic a while back.

This is showing the size of the Raspberries that were picked and canned on the spot.
They are called the "SK Red Mammoth" variety (Alberta, Canada).
