Do you have what it takes to be a gardener extraordinaire: A perfect tomato? A killer zucchini? You can enter it into the second annual Harvard Press weekly garden contest, the Garden Game. Eight categories of vegetables will be judged according to overall appearance as well as size.
Categories and their corresponding measurement criteria are:
-
Beets (biggest circumference)
- Broccoli (largest diameter)
- Cabbage (biggest circumference)
- Carrot (longest)
- Cucumber (longest, and biggest circumference)
- Eggplant (biggest circumference)
- Pumpkin (biggest circumference)
- Tomato (biggest circumference)
- Zucchini (longest)
- Any vegetable—most unusual
Entries must be brought to the Harvard Press office, on the third floor of the General Store, on Mondays by noon. A staff member will measure the entry and photograph it. Winners for the week will be selected and featured in the Garden Game column. The contest ends at the first sign of frost.
Good luck!
