So, I grew one plant. It covered a surface area of about a basketball court, and I now have dead and dying foliage everywhere, and at least 15 of the monster veggies.
What to do with them?

I saw yours earlier Bumbleb but am keeping stum!!
Each one of them is at least 1.5m long, I will take a piccy tomorrow and try and upload but my lappy is on its last legs so not sure it will work.
I would recommend this plant for anyone with a large family, or who keeps pigs, otherwise I'm not sure of its worth to the average GYO'ner.Bob Leponge

Snakes or serpente of Sicily are my pride and joy to grow every year. Do not let them to grow to full size but pick them when young (1/2 meter long) Light peel and treat as any courgettes. Mature ones can still be used as any other quashes ie pumpkins recepies. Please find attached photos of some babies and young parents. Grandparents can easily grow well over two meters.Originally posted by bobleponge View Post

Honestly Andrea, they really are, I suggest your calculator would probably work on most things, but there will be photographic proof tomorrow (Inshallah).
There may be seeds for swapping pretty soon, millions of them!!Bob Leponge

I shall take one of the monsters off tomorrow and split it for seeds.
Will of course stick loads and loads in the parcel when it gets here.
Janeyo, you can have double loads of seeds, but honestly, I planted 2, they both took, I chucked one in the compost and put the other one out, and trained it to grow up a basketball hoop. At one stage the neighbours were in danger of being overrun by its creeping tendrils, and if you look on Google Earth you'll see just how far my neighbours liveBob Leponge
