Three little marrows having a chat on the bench.

From left to right:
62.8 lbs (28.5 kg) - previously weighed
56.0 lbs (25.4 kg) - long and thin
46.3 lbs (21.0 kg) - short and fat

The 62.8 and the 56.0 grew simultaneously on the same plant only about 2 feet apart. That is because the first one was open pollinated and I wanted seeds so I set a second one on the same plant. The long one was crossed with the short one and vice versa.

Rumour has it there is a much bigger one in the patch still...but nobody can verify it. I do know that one of the remaining marrows is a looooooooong one and was crossed with the other long ones.
