Perhaps you are aim-ing at a prize at the county fair, or just wishing to outdo your neighbor who had the biggest pumpkin on the block last year.

Whatever your motive, growing giant plants is much fun.

Delicious tomatoes, a fairly new variety which is, indeed, delicious, grow to about 3 pounds apiece.

Jerry and Brenda Freels announce the forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Jessica Freels, to Benjamin Jones.
