The excessive rain this week causes some to start to crack, so I needed to pick them early. I have a few more still growing. We also grow giant cabbage every year on the farm. They are great for sauerkraut and golabki (Polish Cabbage Rolls). The melon I'm holding is over 22lbs. the one by my foot is over 18lbs. For reference, the "small" melons are standard size Hales Best. WE have grown big cabbage for years, but they are always impressive. This one we picked yesterday was 19lbs. Plus the 14.5lbs of blackberries
