Anyone grown any massive veg ?

[DAZB]

Just browsing some old photos and came across some of my veg pics from a few years back. Couple of giant beetroot, some cabbage, a cucumber and a few marrows. The beetroot are alongside a cherry tomato and a normal tomato to show the scale. Anyone else got any to share feel free to post.

Not me but my brother is a bit of a dab hand. This is his winning entry in this years local pumpkin competition.

I find comfrey and nettle tea is good for growing veggies like this. An old barrel of water into which choped comfrey and nettles are dropped and left to brew up , and when it starts to smell like an open sewer then start putting it on the plants they love it.

I've got the opposite. Nowt! Nothing at all. Actually not entirely true - had 3 sweetcorn cobs and a couple of shallots, but everything else has failed to fruit completely. Worst offender being the Butternut squashes that haven't even had the decency to send out flowers it's been that cold and wet up here.
