Becky and I have exchanged e-mails :-)

sunnyk & I have exchanged e-mails. =)

So whats the biggest thing you've ever grown in your garden (weeds excluded)? How about the smallest?

For me, I grew a 14 lb pumpkin. It was quite dense for it's size. I also grew some really huge cucumbers that hid from me when they should have been picked. The smallest was probably and end of the season cherry tomato.

My pumpkins so far have been from volunteer vines...one in 2008 and another last year. Last years was maybe 6 or 7 pounds, and made me very happy LOL(the seeds I planted did zilch)I think those are the largest things I have grown ...but I did have a huge tomato last year I think it was around a pound and a half, small for many but huge for me LOL!!There was a larger one but I lost it either an opossum or squirrel or raccoon ,all of which dined frequently on my best produce :(
And yup, a late season cherry tomato would most likely be the smallest.

And I forgot....Steve, your seeds went into the mailbox this morning! Let me know when you get them :)
