Well I went out to the garden to do an actual measurement on my giant marrow today. As it sits the main is at pretty much 23' on the dot with a marrow at both the 21' and 22' mark. Hopefully I can get one of these wayyyyy out there to pollinate and take. Hopefully I can get atleast one good sized marrow from the plant as this is my first year of giant marrow growing. Its been a struggle. I have been battling cucumber beetles, downy mildew, too much rain, hot ass 90 degree days and now I have been finding squash bugs. Uhhggg this is a crappy growing year. Did find smething strange. Been spraying fungicides one every plant in the garden from the start. Marrow looks like it has downy mildew but my giant black beauty zucchini's and crooknecks show no sign of DM whatsover. I dont understand.
