An Australian couple staved off pests for more than nine months to grow a giant cabbage almost as big as a person.
Rosemary Norwood and her husband, Sean Cadman, who live in the Tasmanian valley of Jackeys Marsh, began growing the giant vegetable in April last year at their eco-tourism guesthouse.
After months of plucking away less-successful surrounding cabbages, the couple left the savoy to grow undisturbed until late January.
"It doesn't always work out like this," Norwood told CNN, attributing the success to "a good, wet spring, good rainfall and hot weather in the early summer."

Which is a nice way of saying "that cabbage is so damn big, eating it raw will be like chewing on a piece of plywood."
