Scroll down to see if you can win people’s attention against these foods of epic, extra or enchanting proportions. Long story short, it boils down to two things: the right conditions and genetics. A key part in making fruit healthy is the soil. If your soil is rich in minerals and other grounded necessities, you can bet those will be absorbed into the fruit or vegetable that you’re growing and will hence benefit more from it compared to the sucker that gets less of it. That’s essentially why fertilizers were invented. With that said, pruning and thinning is a must. Cutting off branches and other floral extremities allows the plant to direct more nutrients to the places that actually matter: the fruits. But always consult your plant guides to know if and how much you need to do this. Fruit size is determined by the genes—that’s a huge part why genetic selection is a thing in the first place. And so, if you happen to get yourself some seeds for fruits or veggies that are genetically big, you’re welcome. However, some varieties don’t pride themselves in size, but have other qualities folks might enjoy, like sweetness or ingestive convenience. I’m looking at you, cherry tomatoes. Overgrown zucchini, for instance, can be eaten no matter the size, really. While it does change consistency with size, making it impossible for certain recipes, it is still edible and anything can be turned into a casserole.
