Answer 1

Palmer, Alaska located about 45 miles north of Anchorage, is in the Matanuska-Susitna valley where glacial run-off is loaded with glacial silt that collects along the Matanuska River. Frequent high winds blow the silt from the river throughout the Palmer area, continually enriching the soil with nutrients. Palmer is far enough North that from May to early September it doesn't get totally dark at night, with 2.5 to 3 hours of semi-darkness each night. Temperatures during that same timeframe can get as high as in the 90s. With the super rich soil, long daylight hours and hot summers, it is possible to grow gigantic vegetables.

Go to www.shopalaskafromhome.com and look at the Alaska State Fair winner zucchini. I don't know if these are 2006 winners, but the first place blue ribbon winner one year was 24.314 lbs; the second place red ribbon winner came in at 17.043 lbs.

Here's another website where you can go to see pictures of giant vegies and even order seeds.
