So, John is in a wet climate.
Jose? Scott?
Others growing large vegetables? What's the common thread?

We are supposed to be in Av. 80" rainfall area but I haven't
seen that kind a rain for a few years.
I have to attribute large plants and speedy multiplication
(from one division to 8 or 10 in 12 months) to a good volcanic soil which is
tested by Brookside Laboratory, nutritionally balanced prior to planting with
organic fertilisers, innoculated with a proprietary microbe mix which has 4
fungi and 20 bacteria (from www.nutri-tech.com.au) , and then the
plants & soil receive a monthly application of very diluted CT
through the overhead sprinklers.
No losses to disease, Brix levels are high, and aphid numbers
are minimal in 6 acre mono-culture. Clients report that my plants "take
off" when planted compared to those from other daylily specialists.
