1st Place Cabbage

My daughter brought home a Bonnie Plant giant cabbage starter plant from school to grow. This photo was taken 14 days before it was picked. Can you imagine how much more it grew in those last 2 weeks?! Pictured next to it is a normal cabbage plant started from seed. She was so excited to come home and announce her cabbage will be representing her grade in the statewide contest. The final weight without the outer leaves and the roots were 4lbs and 2ozs.
I did use dusting powered a little too late to control the bugs, from eating the cabbage, as I am afraid of poisioning my family. I am learning by trial and error.
