That's a mighty cabbage.

Here's a picture I took at the Tanana Valley State Fair of the kids cabbages.

Holy crap! I've heard you guys get some monster veggies, but this is intense! I can't wait to get up there and try my luck.

Btw, what can you do with a cabbage that big anyway? I kinda expect a baby to sprout, haha.

The guy that grew it said he was going to mulch it. Said it was too woody to eat.

The top one looks like it is from ADN - An Alaskan Paper - they probably own the copyright to it. You might get a better answer from them rather than the forum.

Might want to DM ecvMatt for permission to the one he took.
