Gi-nor-mous

I can't say that I have a green thumb....I ususally kill a houseplant in a very short period of time. However, this year we have had considerable luck with our garden. After having a really poor harvest last year (we did grow an amazing amount of weeds), we decided to bring in new dirt and try again this year. We only planted a few things: A pumpkin plant that started out as one tiny plant and has now taken over the entire back half of the garden, a few pepper plants, and 4 tomato plants. We also planted a watermelon plant, but due to the pumpkin plant takeover, I don't think we'll see one of those. We also planted strawberries, but the kids seem to think that the minute a berry shows any signs of being ripe, it must be picked and eaten right away. We ended up having one small corner left and about the time we were planting back in May, Jake brought home a small plant that he had started at school. It was literally the size of a small weed, and he wasn't even sure what it was. I told him it was okay to plant it in the corner of the garden, thinking that it would die soon and that would be the end of it.....well, we discovered soon after that it was a cabbage plant and it didn't die, as you can see in the picture!! It is gi-nor-mous!! So, maybe Jake has the green thumb in the family??
