Title: can i eat them yet???
Post by: daveandtara on July 10, 2005, 14:21:12
my 'green bush' marrow plant has had two little courgettes on it for days now. they don't appear to be growing any bigger. one is as fat as my thumb and 3" long, the other is slightly bigger.
today i found that the dreaded fox/cat or something has again slept on the plant, knocking the flowers off and pushing the fruits into the mud. i have had to remove the fruits, but can i eat them?
if so, these will be my first homegrown veggies ever!!!

I don't see why not, and enjoy ;D  Marrows are after all just oversized courgettes! ;D

eat eat eat eat .... - course you can.  they are only little versions of what you were hoping for - they may taste better, you may never eat a full sized courgette ever again.
