This is one of the Wakefields from this spring.
Unfortunately I didn't record weight but I'm guessing about 4 lbs but then it had more time to grow. This batch was sown indoors on Jan 9 and transplanted out Feb 10. I was pushing the early planting on purpose just to see what I can get away with.
The first pick was May 2 although a note says they were ready to pick before that. The last two were pulled May 15th.
It's hard to say if fall or spring plantings grow faster. But fall or spring, it all depends on the weather. I imagine it would be faster in the spring but that might not apply to extra early plantings in that they'd get a somewhat slow start and then catch up as the weather warms.
