A Georgia third-grader is gaining a lot of attention for a huge cabbage he's grown for a school project.

Jackston Scarboro attends Johnson County Elementary School in Wrightsville, Georgia.

His mother, Wendi Scarboro, said Jackston brought home the cabbage about eight weeks ago as part of a science project -- and it’s still growing.

Wendi Scarboro first posted a few pictures of the cabbage on Monday. Since then, it's gained the attention of thousands.

The proud mother said she is so happy her son and his teacher are being recognized for their hard work, dedication and success on his science project.

"Thank you, Miss Macy Tanner, for being such an amazingly supportive teacher," she said.
