Gigantic vegetables in Alaska

AIf tales about 138lb cabbages, 65lb cantaloupes, and 35lb broccoli stalks sound far fetched to you, let me introduce you to the growers who put these produce giants on display at the Alaska because Alaska gets 20 long hours of daylight. In some areas of the state, vegetables can bask in the sun for 20 hours or more in the summer months (this is also what makes Alaska veggies so sweet). Pair the sunlight with very fertile soil, and you get 3-foot beans and 40-pound beets.
