Hello. DD has raised three great-looking marrows. They're growing nicely, around 10" long, striping up and generally doing well. I've placed them on tiles or bricks to keep them off the (very) wet earth. My only concern is that two of them are starting to yellow on the tip, but I'm sure I've seen them like that in the supermarket so is it anything to worry about? There doesn't appear to be any withering or mis-shaping, just a colour change.
Apols for no photo but the children are playing nicely outside, and if I go out to photograph the veg I will be claimed!
Edited to add: I gave the marrows a gentle squeeze earlier and the yellow bit feels squashy, so we decided to harvest and use them as they are. I'll upload a photo as I'd still like some advice about what it might be. Thank you.
