I have been letting some of our courgettes (zucchini) grow into marrows to cut up for food for the chooks. Today Neil picked this one which weighed 7lb 12 ozs, that’s as much as an average baby!!
I chop it up and then stew it up for a short while to soften it. Our chooks are well spoilt!
There are a couple more really large ones growing on the plants which I have left to grow into marrows. The others I either pick really small and we eat raw in salads, or normal size to cook up for ourselves. These plants really do keep on giving!!
