Since I didn't post much last year, this was the best to come out of my patch @ 237 lbs. With the exception of another 183 lbs one (open pollinated) everything else split on me so it wasn't a good year for seed saving either.... Onward an upward, a new season begins. With there no longer being a later show in Southampton I decided to plant my marrow seeds a whole 6 days earlier than normal (26th may) as Malvern always seems just a few days to early for me. Aiming for 1st of August fruit sets (or as close to) which will give me 8 full weeks untill Malvern.
