In celebration of the Year of the Garden 2022, BWG’s Healthy Communities Committee and Public Library are challenging everyone to grow the biggest vegetable in one of five categories for bragging rights and prizes.
In the autumn, we will ask residents to show us their largest garden specimens, but to participate you must start growing your giant vegetables now!
Competition categories and how they will be judged:
- Pumpkin (weight)
- Other squash (weight)
- Root vegetable (weight)
- Sunflower (diameter)
- Grower’s choice - any large plant/vegetable specimen (judge’s discretion)
Watch the BWG Library website and social media for updates and tips for growing large vegetables and for the final details on how we will celebrate. Be sure to check out the BWG Seed Library – your source for open pollinated seeds (especially large varieties including Big Max Pumpkins and Mongolian Sunflowers). Seeds can be ordered through the BWG Library’s website: https://bradford.library.on.ca/.
