    Not necessarily a huge plant,but definately a huge harvest would be Tomato...one ickle tiny seed to make one whole plant full of lots of fruit.

      If you count flowers what about opium poppies.
      I have had them grow up to 4' in height.
      The river Trent is lovely, I know because I have walked on it for 18 years.

        The other end of the scale is probably broad bean "The Sutton" - gurt big seed, dainty foot-tall bean plant

          What about a sunflower and it produces a whole packetful of seeds while at it.

          Tomato is a strong contender though, did anyone see that documentary on the grower in Norfolk with acres of greenhouse using heat produced from the sugar beet factory they had to get to the top of those plants on high lifts

            Have you seen how many seeds an opium poppy produces?
            I have a jam jar full of them. I intend do a bit of "gurrilla" gardening with them.

              Interesting, I was wondering about this because I grew some tobacco plants and the seeds are tiny.



              Yet they can produce real big plants!



              That's not me lol!!!

              They were really hard to handle as they are so small you can't see where you have planted them and you have to spray water on else they just wash away.

              Amazing how it can get so much bigger in a short period of time.
