Growing up in a family of 13, Phillip Vowles learned to appreciate the effort it took to feed all his brothers and sisters. So when he started harvesting his own crop, he decided to supersize his venture. As Phillip says, “big vegetables feed big families.” Today, his giant veggies top-out at over 100 pounds and can feed more than just a few families.

  1. Up here in Alaska we guan vegetables 138 pound cabbage is common ! It is the soil and the long days in the summer !
    🥰❤️

  2. I was really hoping he would tell how he grows such giants but I guess it’s his family trade secret

  3. so if he can do this, why are we not using his seeds or doing selective breeding to grow food on this scale for society?

  4. Hold on – he's 60 to 70 years old by the look, so he was born 1950 to 1960. You're saying that his family LOST 4 CHILDREN in those years??? The way he said "13 survived" it sounded like the old days when you just expected a few of your kids to die off, such is life. Yeah maybe 200 years ago, but in the 1950s or newer that shouldn't be happening!

  5. in the future peoples will see this and be like "it only 42 inches long that small ares now are 251 inches long"

  6. And there were in those days giants up to 50 feet tall where did they come from from the valley of the ho ho ho green giants using pym vegetable enlargement formulas large beings need large food supplies

  7. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." John 6: 47 "verily, verily I say unto you, he that believeth on me has everlasting life."-Jesus. Jesus the Messiah died for the remission of sin, including yours, was buried, and rose form the dead 3 days later. If you simply trust that this applies to you and believe in Jesus to save you from hell then you have everlasting life in heaven. John 6:40 "And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."
