I hope all that wasn't too boring!
I did a germination test on this years seeds,
165 160 154 and 135 germinated 100%
Of the four 174 seeds I grew only 1 germinated so 25%
and of the four 178 seeds 0 germinated so 0%
The 178 DMG split before it was mature so the Marrow weren't ripend fully and the 174 I cut for the show before it was fully ripened, I would have ideally left it on the vine longer but we grow them to show them so it had to be cut. Still hopefull I can get some 178 + 174 seeds to germinate for next season but time will tell. Wishing everyone a merry Christmas and Happy new year.
