I don't want to jinx myself so let's just say I should have 5 personnel best. Marrow, beet, kohlrabi, radish and watermelon. How are things growing for you Mat? Gotta go, Scott.

Scott,
Are you the one that was featured on a show about giants, on HGTV? Do you hold the WR for kohlrabi?

No Doug Mat is right I never did hold the world record nor did John Evans. Even though we both received World Record Certificates for our kohlrabi's. Guinness made an honest mistake some time back when they made the switch to more of a computer base data system. Bernard Lavery's WR 62 pound and something kohlrabi got lost in the paper work to computer shuffle. However last year Dave Iles grew a 63.95 pounder that is now the new WR. My WRs are for Rutabaga, Kale, Celery, Cantaloupe, and Turnip. Later Scott.

spudley well i can think of one record you have not tried for that definitely needs to be broken in the giant vegetable arena. the record has held longer then all others
31 years that record is lettuce 25 lbs the variety used for previous read was salad bowl. the methods used by the previous record holder. are in in your email box.
Since you have a propensity for leaf crops.
good luck on your cabbage this year.
