Marrow seeds are very similar to courgettes, and can be raised and grown in the same way. Marrows grow bigger and rounder and their skins are tougher, therefore, it's best that their skin is removed before or just after cooking. Sow seeds from April to May outside in a sunny position, sheltered from strong winds. Cut before the first frost and store in a frost free, but cool area during the winter months.
Marrow Bush Baby produces compact dark green fruits with a pale green stripe, ideal for growing in smaller gardens, containers or on the patio. They grow to approximately 15-20cm (6-8") long and are very attractive when picked young as a courgette.
