We thought you all would like to see the picture of Trevin that made the Clipper - after this picture was taken, the giant cabbage weighed in at 20 lbs. If Trev wins for the state, he will receive a $1000 scholarship for his efforts!
TREVIN CHOWEN and his grandfather, Ralph Wilcox, grew this giant cabbage from a seed during the summer.
— When reporting to classmates what he did over the summer, nine-year-old Trevin Chowen could say that he spent his time growing cabbage. But this wasn’t just any ordinary cabbage. Trevin’s cabbage weighs nearly 12 pounds and is still growing.Trevin began growing the cabbage last Spring after being given a seed and a challenge from Bonnie Plants. The challenge was to see who could grow the largest cabbage – a competition that any third-grade student from across the United States could participate in. Trevin worked with his grandfather, Ralph Wilcox, to grow his now enormous cabbage.“At the end of the school year, my teacher gave a seed to everyone to grow,” said Trevin. “We started planting it in a pot and then moved it to my grandpa’s garden.”In that garden, among tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and cantaloupe, Trevin’s cabbage grew and grew.“We watered it and made a ditch around it,” Trevin said. “It’s really big.”Each year, Bonnie Plants awards a $1000 scholarship to one third-grader in each state who grows the biggest cabbage. Trevin’s school, Tolman Elementary, has sent a picture of Trevin and Wilcox with the cabbage to Bonnie Plants. Trevin should be hearing from Bonnie Plants within the next few weeks to see if his cabbage wins the contest. “Good luck and congratulations to Trevin!” said a representative from Trevin’s school.“It was fun,” said Trevin. “I would do it again.”
