Marrow Long Green Trailing produces large dark green fruits with a paler green stripe. Trailing habit needs a lot of room. Regards by some as the best flavour of all Marrows.

WHERE TO SOW:

Early sowings in 9cm pots or trays 2cm deep under glass at 20°C. May sowings direct in cold frames or under cloches. Early June sowings direct into the growing site 2cm deep, 2 or 3 seeds in each position 120cm apart.

WHAT TO DO NEXT:

Glasshouse and under cover seedlings should be gradually hardened off once they have developed the first pair of rough leaves, and transplanted to the growing site in late May 120cm apart. Outdoor sowings should be thinned to one seedling as soon as possible.

HANDY TIPS:  A good variety for Winter storage. Let fruits ripen on plants, pick before frost. Store in a cool but frost free place.

NUTRITIONAL VALUE:   A good source of pro-vitamin A, vitamins C and E.
