My two biggest prizes so far this year are my first-ever eggplant (variety: Black), now the size of a golf ball, and melon (variety: Charentais cantaloupe), now softball-sized.

BTW – Charentais cantaloupes – SOOOO TASTY!!!! They never did get very big (4" d), and I harvested these a bit past-prime, so the flesh was a bit mushy, but the taste was divine! Will definitely grow these again.
