Giant vegetables here and abroad
Today I wrote about giant pumpkins. It wasn't the pinnacle of journalist achievement, but it was interesting. A farmer south of Whitewater, Marc Roe, grew a 700-pound pumpkin.
The pumpkin is now on sale at Meyer's Farm Market near Milton.
While writing about pumpkins I discovered the world of competitive pumpkin, squash, tomato and watermelon growing.
These growers are part of the "Great Pumpkin Commonwealth," a worldwide organization dedicated to growing large pumpkins and other cucurbits (or should that be cucurbie?).
