Description
Marrow Bush Baby produces compact dark green fruits with a pale green stripe. A gorgeous variety Marrow bush Baby is ideal for growing in smaller gardens, containers or on the patio. They will grow to approximately 15-20cm (6-8″) long and are very tasty when picked young, as a courgette.
Marrows are best cut before the first frost and then stored in a frost free, cool area and used during the winter. The skin of stored marrows will become tough and will therefore need to be removed before or just after cooking.
