Not as big as yours, but much bigger than my pumpkin!  I am really pleased with it - how do you work out how heavy they are?

Huge and handsome! Are they for showing rather than eating? I just grow boring, but nice, Tiger Cross and only to about 10lb max - couldn't cope with more than that.

My three marrows seem to be doing well but I'd love to know how to estimate their weight.

This is the first year I've grown this type of marrow and they are for our 'Heavy Pumpkin & Marrow' show in October.  Don't know what they will be like for eating but an Indian neighbour already has her eye on one of them!

I don't even know if these are marrows or pumpkins. They are self-sown in the area where I grew Black Futtsu last year and they are huge!

wow  :)

my bush baby has produced 10 marrows to date and all have been around 2lb and very tender to eat. It is a very obliging plant and has produced one ready at a time. Only sown as an afterthought and now top of my list
