Default Cabbages and Kings

For anyone who fancies their kohl crops, this year's Alaska State Fair
award-winning cabbage weighed in at 138.25 pounds (about 61.5 kg). They've
had a bad year up there for pumpkins from what I've heard but it appears
that the weather was quite amenable to mega-cabbages.

Are you quite sure that this is not some new form of secret weapon?

Do 60kg cabbages taste nice?

I ask because my local farmers market was selling extra-large kohlrabis, which looked pretty. But when I bought it we discovered it was woody with unpleasant fibrous bits and not very nice to eat. So I wouldn't give an award to a kohlrabi on the grounds that it was large.

Artificial Grass is produced by biological engineering. It is almost no difference when compared to natural grass in terms of balance, as well as the feeling of the foot.

***Hmmm...I've always understood that athletes -- students and others

Anybody out there with actual experience?
