A few days ago i ordered some giant marrow seeds off from the website giantveg.uk My daughter will try to grow this next to our pumpkin.
Wondering who else is a marrow grower next year.

I grow marrows every year. The really big ones are very difficult to keep in one piece. A lot harder than even pumpkins. I have grown 135lb+ marrows every year for years, but only two have ever made it to the scales (156.6 and 206.5). Good luck with them.

Brad do you have any marrow seeds that produce the green with color stripping or the reverse?

I have a couple nice ones this year. They should be going to a couple weigh offs in the next week or two. I love growing them. Treat them just like Field Pumpkins and REALLY stay on top of the Powdery Mildew, they seem to be the first to get it. I had some nice striped ones last year, selfed them, and a friend grew them this year and they are all solid cream coloured. The biggest ones seem to be the solid dark green ones I think.

I grew a 127lb marrow last year, held together really well but disappointing seed count!

Great for outdoors at higher lattitudes.

I grow them in 15x15ft plots. Smaller will work. They hate the heat and grow best when pollinated in the second half of August. They grow about 6 weeks, depending on the weather. The cooler it is, the longer they seem to grow.
