THAT’S A HUGE CABBAGE!

(HIT) - When Eva Dickenson’s 3rd grade class decided to participate in a national cabbage growing contest, Eva’s father knew exactly how he could help. Robert Dickenson let his daughter borrow his EarthBox, a self-contained planter known for growing enormous veggies.

The EarthBox controls soil conditions as water is wicked up from the water reservoir into the potting mix. The result is a bountiful harvest of tasty tomatoes or, in this case, fresh cabbage—even on a porch, patio or balcony.

In just 12 weeks, Eva Dickenson’s little starter plant grew to become an enormous head of cabbage almost as big as Eva.

The EarthBox cabbage was the largest one grown at Eva’s elementary school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Eva’s cabbage was also entered for statewide honors.

The cabbage head measured more than 14 inches across, and the Dickenson family enjoyed A LOT of cole slaw.

To grow your own award-winning cabbage (or other vegetables), get a complete EarthBox Organic Ready-to-Grow Kit from www.earthbox.com for $52.95, or purchase it at a local garden center.
