Large veg should not come easy but i guess there is always a chance a fluek combination could work for you.

As a general rule of thumb.....you need to start with an exhibition or specifically large seed type, (it will be described as such in catalogue or choose a specialist catalogue). This would normally be grown in more specialised conditions from planting seed to harvesting result.

For example most of us will grow onions....the heaviest one i have seen weighed over 17lbs....quite a difference to normal weights!

I do grow some large veg, mainly as a bit of fun and a mini competition with my allotment neighbours....we grow onions, tomatoes, mooli radish and marrows....just a few plants of each alongside the regular varieties.

In fact would anybody like to have our own competition on here?
