I grow that variety but I'm the only one who eats them so I always have a surplus and that triggers the making of chocolate courgette cake which oddly enough everybody eats lots of 😂

Thanks @carolecuttingitfine For some reason, I didn't get as many seeds to germinate & those that did have been slow to get going, but do have one biggish marrow on the go, about a foot long last time I looked, but not a lot else 😕
