Somethin' in the soil


Claude Cochran, 71, says he has been farming all his life. But, he's never had the kind of success growing vegetables than the kind he's been having in his Ollie Weaver Road garden the past few years. Several years ago, he dug up a batch of 5-pound sweet potatoes. On Wednesday (June 25), he reached in the ground and pulled out something he had never seen before: a 1-pound, 5 oz. cauliflower.

"I can't explain it. It's the biggest I've ever had," Cochran remarked. There's some fertile soil in northwest Weaverville.
