I Can’t Believe This Is New York City!

New York should really have its own county fair, with an agricultural competition:

A Queens woman has taken homegrown fruits and vegetables to a whole new level by cultivating a 6-foot-long zucchini in her backyard.

Green-fingered Apollonia Castitlione grew the giant Long Italian zucchini during the warm summer months using nothing more than fertilizer, water and a little TLC.

“I’ve had my vegetable garden for 26 years, but I never saw anything so spectacular,” said Castitlione, who’s 5 feet tall. “I didn’t put Miracle Grow on it, nothing, just a little bit of 5-10-5 fertilizer, water and my time.”

Castitlione, 48, said she noticed the giant fruit was growing longer than usual last month when it suddenly shot up a couple of inches in as many days.

She then went on vacation to Boston for the weekend and returned to find it had shot up another 1.5 inches.

At last count, the zucchini was just over 6 feet . . .
