I go to our local Farmers Market every Tue. evening, but tonight it was packed. I even got there early and had to wait in line. They don't open until 4:00 and they can't sell anything until 4:00. So while I waited I saw a really big cabbage that looked wonderful. The smaller ones were $3.00 but this big one was $4.00. When I said wow what a cabbage, the little girl behind the table said I grew that one! With a big smile on her face, and an even bigger smile from her Grandfather!!! Each year our county gives out cabbage plants to all the 3rd. graders and tells them to plant them and who ever has the biggest cabbage the will win money. I'm not sure how much but the kids get so excited about it! This one weighed 9 pounds, she had taken pictures and sent them in to try to win!!! My husband gave me an extra dollar and told me to go buy it!!! I told her any cabbage that big was worth at least & 5.00... That smile got even bigger, like she had just won the lottery!!! How cute she was. I wish I had taken a picture of her with it, but it was so packed I just wanted to get out of that hot sun... I also picked up some yellow squash, that will be dinner tomorrow on the grill...
