When is my marrow ready?

[1Bee]

When can I harvest my marrow? Is it a matter of whenever it's big enough, or does it need to cure or ripen or something?

[rollingrock]

how do plan on cooking it and what type marrow it is. . Since that will determine the size you harvest it.
Since, you did not include that in you post I can not answer you.

It's tiger cross and we're going old school with stuffed marrow...

Before it goes mad and would feed the 5000!!!!!

It's ready to cut any time that when you tap it with your knuckles it sounds 'hollow', after that point it just depends on how many you want it to feed

Tell you what 1Bee, if you are only a small family then next season grow .. Table Dainty .. they 'max out' at 10 inch in length, a nice size for a stuffed marrow for two Last time I grew it I got 10 marrows during the season
