Compost the huge ones now and eat the tiny tender ones. We were too soft hearted in our first year and tried to find homes for all the green Zeppelins. Our friends started avoiding us and we still had piles of rock-hard tasteless marrows at Christmas. You know it makes sense. Do it now.

I think so, third from the left, so you can see it was a small one even though it was a good size marrow! Always delightful to receive your comments and share your giggles ;o)
