I am raising marrow in the heartland. The plants are really pale green compared to pumpkins or melons. Is this comman or do they need more nitrogen ferts or magnesium or what Thanks?

Generally speaking marrows are darker green than pumpkins.

Marrows don't like heat. They don't do well above 80 degrees.

They probably won;t do good here unless we have a cool summer. Been really cool here and wet.

Brad, on average how many days will a marrow grow after pollination? How many days did the 206 grow for? Can they do well in partly shaded areas? Thanks

John, in warm weather I have seen them stop after 4 weeks. In general they grow 6 weeks. The 206.5 was still growing in week 8.

I have never tried them in shade as it never really gets warm here where I grow. I can imagine that in NS temps it might be worth trying growing them in a bit of shade.
