Giant Fruit and Vegetables
As any gardener knows, a zucchini grows fast and furious. Left unharvested,
it can grow a couple of feet long and a many pounds in weight. Other fruits
and vegetables can grow pretty large, too. As a matter of fact, there are
a large number of gardeners who grow fruits and vegetables not for eating,
but for size and weight.
Just how big can your favorite vegetable grow you ask? You may be surprised.
Listed below are some of the giant weights we have found. Some of them
are even world records. If you know of any large fruits and vegetables, or
new records, please send us a note so we can share it with others.
