Wahey !! I finally managed to grow a monster.

Well,amazingly after only growing the single Marrow seed really late and only getting one single fruit to set at the end of August,this was the result after just 6-7 weeks of growth.
A 50+ pound Marrow just grown in a bit of my neglected patch with no special treatment at all.
Bonkers !!!

[SarzWix]

Wow! That's a beauty!

[Leek Inquiry]

Nawww! You made that out of papier mache!

Srsly, that's not a vegetable, it's a zeppelin. Well done!

If you ever take up growing runner beans, it's going to be "Fee fi fo fum" all over again, isn't it Dan...
I don't have sound on my computer at the moment, so I don't know if you said - what variety is it ?

[Snadger]

Nice one Dan!

I've had my worst ever season with marrows and courgettes. Harvested one marrow and that was only a table dainty. Haven't harvested a single courgette. What happened? i haven't got a scoobie. The only consolation is that there's always next year

[chris]

I've had a bad with with them too!

Chutney as xmas pressies then dan?

[veggiechicken]

That's a big 'un! I've had one courgette this year, having sown 2 packets of seeds and bought 2 butternut squash plants. At least I know that I'm not the only disappointed courgette lover.

[Bren In Pots]

That's a whopper

[buzzingtalk]

I had 3 courgettes (little things they were too!) before my plant died back in July...looks like someone else had more luck though!! Good job

Dan is the Ying to our Yang ! I think his variety is probably called "Cosmic Balance".

[Piggle]

that is impressive - you must have a big cooker and lots of stuffing!

I did ok with my squashies but I did start hand pollinating them!
