LAST WORD
Let’s have a competition for biggest marrow, said KG deputy editor Emma Rawlings. ‘What a great idea,’ was the reply from the team, but it turned into marrow mayhem…
In April we suggested readers grow our free seeds of marrow ‘Long Green Bush’ for our competition. Then we opened it up to all, which rather confused the issue as the free KG LGB seeds, as I will now call them, were never going to compete with larger thoroughbred varieties and those grown from seed saved by exhibitors. So our wonderful sponsor Mr Fothergill’s said they would stump up more prizes so we could have a Whopper category (open to all sections) and the LGB category for those grown from our free seeds.
