More Info

Water marrows regularly ? do not allow the soil to dry out as this will impair their development. Hoe between plants regularly to prevent weeds from establishing. Marrows appreciate an application of a high potash fertiliser every two weeks during the growing season. Hand pollinating marrows is not usually required when they are grown outdoors. However, for indoor cultivation the female flowers can be fertilised by pressing a male flower against them. Begin harvesting marrows from midsummer onwards when they begin to swell. Regular harvesting will encourage more marrows to be produced. Culinary note: Marrow flowers are edible and can be eaten cooked or added raw to salads.

How to Grow

Grow marrows on in warm conditions until all risk of frost has passed and marrow plants are large enough to be transplanted. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting marrows outdoors in rich fertile, well drained soil in full sun at a distance of 90cm (36") apart. Cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. When growing marrows, a thick mulch of organic matter spread around the plants will help to conserve moisture at the roots.
