Whats the marrow ?

I harvested one of my large ! marrows this morning. It had stopped growing so I thought I would cut it.
I just weighed it on next doors bathroom scales and it`s a measley 31 pounds. I had high hopes for this seed but it hasn`t produced. Back to the drawing board.
It`s Harrogate next week so I`ll be pulling the last of the long carrots and hoping I get a decent set. The plan is to zoom down after work on Thursday, do the staging and then get back up to Cumbria pronto cos I need to be at work at 6 the following morning. Then we are going to go down on Saturday to the show, back home and a 40 mile charity bike ride on the Sunday.
I`m gonna be knackered by Monday !

    Given the season we've had, I think you should be chuffed with your baby marrow. Let is know how you get on at Harrogate - and with the bike Ride
