Baby Marrows
Baby marrows or zucchini are a truly versatile and rewarding summer crop that can be grown successfully by even the most inexperienced gardener.
Choose a sunny open position and dig in well rotted organic matter. Scatter organic fertilizer over the soil and rake it in. Sow seeds directly into bed about 1m apart. Keep the area well watered and seedlings should emerge after about ten days. Four to six plants should be enough for the average family. When floweing commences give plants a side dressing of high nitrogen organic fertilizer and repeat every four to six weeks while plants are bearing. Harvest marrows regularly to encourage a continual crop. Sow at four week intervals throughout summer to ensure an ongoing supply.
