Description
An early maturing type with attractive green, striped fruits of good length. Recommended for both table and exhibition purposes. Resistant to Cucumber Mosaic Virus, so often a problem with marrow crops. Fruits can also be used as courgettes when young.
Marrows are at their best while small and tender, and plants are more porductive if fruits are cut often. In May or June, sow 2 or 3 seeds where intended to grow and single to the strongest seedling, allowing approx 2 feet each way for bush types and 3 feet for trailing varieties. Can also be sown in April and early May under glass for growing outdoors after transplanting. Approx 16 weeks to maturity for courgette types of squash.
