Most farmers only do the first one. The others are more sciency.

1) Stick the male parts of the biggest plant in your garden, into the female parts of another huge plant in your garden.
2) Plant the seeds, this makes a bunch of new plants.
3) Goto 1.

Or

1) shoot radiation at a bunch of seeds.
2) of the ones that didn’t die, keep the ones you like, toss the rest.

Or
1) Package a bunch of plant DNA you think means “grow this to giant” in a bunch of “Copy this right now” DNA codes.
2) Literally shoot it into a seed with an [Gene Gun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_gun)
3) If it actually does grow giant, keep it.

Or in the near future if/when it’s finally developed.
1) Load up the genes you think mean “grow giant” into the thing bacteria use to store genes called CRISPR.
2) Write the genes in the place you want it.
