Hi Tim , Beautiful photo of the rain concerning the fields, you can even see the rain on the photo :o) The yellow Courgette and the Marrow 'Tondo di Piazena'I have never seen them here .The Marrow tondo seems also to be a Courgette?
The 'Burgundy Bonnets' still continue a time with flowers I think - Nice flower . The plot sees good Tim in spite of all rain.
Yes, the spiraling effect of the photo is neat, I agree, and only wish I could say that it was intentional. Maybe I could call it sub-conscious artistry, though? :o)
Usually marrows are longer than they are wide (super-sized courgettes in fact). The variety I've grown this year is a less-familiar round type, but as both my mum and I are taken with them (with the seeds hollowed out they make super edible-vessels for mince) I'll definitely be saving seed for next year.
Yes, maybe it's your shorter growing season which doesn't make them a success up north. Even here it's usual to start them off indoors. Do you hear of folk growing pumpkins around your parts? They require similar conditions to marrows.
Apologies again that I've not yet caught up with you (this itself is going to have to be shorter than intended, as as I write we have a thunder storm growling this way) :o(
Yes, the marrow is a large courgette, but we only call the small ones courgettes over here. The continental seed packet of the 'Tondo' called it a courgette, but on reflection (to us in England, anyhows) it's more of a marrow.
Must go, that storms getting close, Huggy's barking, and I must unplug!
