          Many years ago when a 30lbs marrow won the heaviest arrow class at our village show it made the local press, this year it'll probably require one of around 100lbs to win it.

                    Doubled edged, makes me worry about splitting. What strain(s) are you growing?

                        I have a few Seeds from a 100lb Glazebrook (x self) to grow this year, saw a few Toten amongst the marrow seeds in the EGVGA silent auction, but that lot of 23 seeds went for €130.

                          Expensive ! Quality though. I saved seeds from the marrow in the pic so I'm hoping I can cross them again this year.
