Yes a neighbour of ours grew some whoppers and they were very good.

They are marrows when they get so big!

Yea, was gonna say, depends if you like marrow or not - I only eat courgettes when they're baby size...

She certainly is the avid gardener. She obviously avoided all the pitfalls which can compromise fruit quality - water, temperature, length of time on the vine. A huge accomplishment. They look great.

Large courgettes taste exactly the same as small ones - nothing like a marrow which, to me is a horrible watery thing!

Knowing how to grow them and when to pick them is key and the variety matters as well - there are many pitfalls to be avoided along the way. They will peak at a certain point and then decline if left too long on the vine.

Marrows, courgettes...I just call 'em zucchini! :)

I thought they were cucumbers

Definitely you not cucs B, I've just arrived in San Diego and seen them - and she fed me with shredded courgettes mixed with other veg as she's a pretty strict vegetarian herself.

Enjoy thanks Hank
