Owen and the Giant Cabbage

Last April, Owen came home from school with a baby cabbage and growing instructions.  Included in the instructions were more instructions on how to take pix of the cabbage and send them in, in order to get your name put in a drawing for a 100k scholarship.  Owen was all gung ho about growing a giant cabbage, but really had no idea what a scholarship was.

So we planted it and short of telling Owen to go and water it on occasion, it has been left alone.  Today we harvested it.  It is big!  14 lbs. big.  I took a pix of him and will send it into his teacher.

What do you do with a cabbage that big?  Give it to the chickens, of course.  It took them all day, but they ate almost the entire thing.  That's about a 1lb a cabbage per chicken.  Wow.  I wonder what their eggs are going to taste like the next few days?

Those were for sale everywhere in Israel. I never bought one for the same reason -- what to do with all that cabbage. What a great growing experience and fabulous picture of it.
