On Friday my wife called me asking what did I order from Bonnie Plants because we have UPS delivering us something, to which I responded nothing. I told her the only thing it could be was that my daughter did the Cabbage project and we turned it in. Later in carline she calls me and says well apparently she's won, for all of Tennessee. I was suspicious and wanted to see the delivery. Later that day she got the delivery and it was a certificate saying she did win. The cabbage was small but she put in allot of work. Her winnings was money and she'll get her pic out there. I'm proud of her for sticking with it. Made some good Cole slaw.

Impressive...I have never grown a cabbage.
Congrats to her! Gardening is fun and very rewarding! I raised commercial cabbage for a few years as a teen. Sold it for cold slaw. I will never forget .11 cents per pound was my best, .04 cents per pound was the least I would take before I fed it to the hogs. We averaged 120,000 pounds a year.
That's a lot of cabbage and a great teaching point I will use. I really appreciate you sharing that.

A lady I worked with had a daughter in 4H who raised some sort of livestock every year and entered them into the state fair. Chickens, rabbits, sheep, goats...lots of critters. Through auction of said critters, she's cut into a bunch of her college tuition.
a co-worker's daughter planted a 3 acre field of okra every year. paid for her college. ive no idea why okra sells for so much a pound. itll pretty much grow anywhere and grows extra fast once it starts flowering.
