Just a note to those that are growing my 206.5 marrow. It was open pollinated and having heard from one grower already, not all of the plants will be producing marrows. Till now 2 of the 3 plants with fruit starting are very likely not marrows or some new shape... They are roundish.
I'm afraid that is the risk of open pollinated fruit. I had previously pollinated a few fruit on the original 118.8 Glazebrook plant, but the slugs destroyed them. I had missed one (but the bees didn't) and that one grew to be the new WR.
If you can still make a choice, the 73.6 would be the right choice, unless you want to take a risk. The 206.5 plants I have in the garden are twice the size of my 73.6 plant. I hope to grow 2x 206.5 and 1x 73.6. No risk, no gain, I guess. Sorry about this.
