My third-grade neighbor friend, Kiralyn, was growing a cabbage last spring for a class project. Her dad brought it over one day to ask about the yellowing leaves, so I gave them some liquid organic fertilizer to take home to feed "Bruce." He rallied and was transplanted to a large pot where Kiralyn dutifully cared for him all summer, through bugs and droughts. By mid-July, Bruce had gotten the big head (six pounds worth), and was given the honor of accompanying a corned beef and red potato dinner at Kiralyn's house.
May -- the head was forming:
July -- Bruce, the big-head:
August -- the late Bruce:
Nice job, Kira! (And thanks to Kira's dad, John, for the great photos!)

Hey that's great. She did well. I can only hope our cabbage get so big. My guess is Bruce was honored to feed his caretaker. Nice work Kiralyn!
