Marrow 'Green Bush' produces long, dark green crops which can be harvested early as courgettes or grown to maturity as marrows. They are an excellent choice as they can be used for a variety of different dishes, including for stuffing, baking or boiling.

Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag at a temperature of 20-25C (68-77F) until germination which takes 5-7 days. Once germinated, grow marrows on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and marrow plants are large enough to be transplanted. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting marrows outdoors in rich fertile, well drained soil in full sun at a distance of 90cm (36") apart.
