Fish meal has been my favorite fertilizer for decades. Plants love it more than anything and I don't know why. Stuff stinks to high heaven, but about the third day after application and a good watering, plants square up their shoulders, go deep green, and put out a ton of new growth. Damn near magical stuff.
Congratulations to Leo from McLean, VA, on growing a 21.6 lb cabbage as part of our 3rd Grade Cabbage Program. His secret? “We used compost and fresh fish guts under the plant as fertilizer. It was the biggest thing I ever grew.” Way to grow, Leo! ~Bonnie Plants~
What a cool thing for a kid to do! Has anyone ever eaten an oversized fruit or vegetable? I have to wonder if they still taste the same as the smaller varieties. That would be a lot of coleslaw for a barbecue!

The cabbage was excellent! I have never weighed my zucchini - usually I harvest them as soon as they become wipe instead of waiting until the end of the summer.
That kid is adorable!! I love the look on his face--so proud of himself!
