I have a picture of it, but that's all. I contacted Mark by email some time ago but he didn't reply. If you need the picture, let me know.

Thanks Brad. I've seen some photos and I read somewhere that it was 50 inches around by 50 inches long. I was just trying to confirm that. I have a marrow on the vine that's just over 52 inches around but only 34 inches long. There isn't much of a tapper to it. Wide but squatty. It's still growing but not that rapid growth you get when they're young. It should easily go over 100 pounds but how much over, I don't know??? Later Spudley.

circ. parallel to ground 63.5"

Hey guys, the W.R marrow we grew in 2005 measurements were 42 inches long and it had a girth of 54 inches at the thickest part. we also had a 116lb marrow grown on the same plant! Then in 2006 we grew a marrow est at 120lb which split before the show. We didnt grow any marrows this year as we have gone in to the pumpkin growing more now. Sorry i didnt get your e mail brad, being a farmer im not in to this computer thing lol.

Thanks Mark. The marrow I'm growing looks to be a personnel best and that's all a guy can ask for, eh. Sounds like you guys have the marrow growing formula down. Great job. Later Spudley.

No problem Mark :). I didn't know you could blow a marrow too. All I know is they are a hoot to grow and you don't have to wait a whole season for them to mature.
