SunStroke Giant Vegetable Weigh-Off
Growing Giant Vegetables is a hobby well rooted in Europe -- especially Great Briton. The United States/Canada has traditionally focused on Giant Pumpkins. However, there has been growing interest in recognizing other giant vegetables that people grow in their gardens. The SunStroke Giant Vegetable Weigh-Off is an annual competition between growers -- primarily in Arizona. There are multiple growing seasons in Arizona because it includes desert communities and mountain communities that have very different climates. The event allows everyone to participate without regard to a particular set date. It is an event open to all growers throughout the year. We judge giant pumpkins, giant squash, watermelons, tomatoes, peppers, rutabagas, carrots, beets ... if you can grow it, then we will weigh and measure it.
