hello everyone and welcome to the world of giant vegetables
So Giant Vegetables are generally not GMOs
Unlike what everyone thinks about it then are not genetically modified
but that could be Hybrids. Now GMOs and hybrids are two totally different things
so you can safely grow hybrids, no issues
so let's look at two giant vegetable varieties
cabbage and jalapenos
The giant cabbage was planted from seeds and the giant jalapeno was
a plant that we got from a local garden store
So the main thing you need to grow giant vegetables are
the seeds. It's easy to find giant vegetable varieties in your
local garden stores or you can even order them online
if you look at the video description I have some links for you to order the
seeds
now Giant vegetables can be grown similar to their smaller variety
but they do need to be spaced very far away you need to give
sufficient space for them to grow. Giant vegetables also need a lot more water
than their smaller counterparts
so let's look at one giant vegetable that we planted. This is a
giant cabbage
and as you can see it it grew so big that it actually encroached on the
beets that were growing beside it
and that's why it's really important to space them very well
very far away ; much wider than you would
space the smaller vegetables
now this is the kind of size you would
generally find in a grocery store so yes
when people mass grow vegetables they always grow the giant variety
if you look at the organic ones, they are a lot smaller and they're also
more delicious so yes with Giant vegetables you do get size but you lose out on
taste
let's look at one more giant vegetable variety and this time
its jalapenos, the mammoth jalapenos
giant pepper is easy to grow and just look at their size
now when you go to grocery stores and buy jalapenos
you're most likely buying the giant variety
yes they're huge; they're much bigger than
regular size varieties
now this container has jalapenos which are the regular size
and as you can see they are a lot smaller than their giant counterparts
they're also more pungent and more spicy
than the giant variety
so let's finish harvesting some of these jalapenos and then we'll do comparison
and see
how they look like compared to
their giant counterparts. Almost done...
so here's a harvest bowl and this has both the giant and the regular variety
so let's stack the giant variety against the smaller variety
and see how they look like together
There we go...so you can see that the giant variety is significantly bigger
so with giant vegetables its size vs taste
so make your choice. Happy Gardening!
