D'you know, I think that's what my mother said 60 years ago.

small, Welsh and almost certainly bonkers, but can be tamed with Talisker, if required

It looks as if it will move unexpectedly, as though it is in a sci-fi film.   :D

I know one of mine was big, but not THAT big!   

It does look like something out of a syfy film.  What was the film with those big ugly pods in?  I keep thinking of Day of the Triffids, but it wasn't that one was it?

That was the film that inspired the road sign, 'Danger' Heavy Plant Crossing!!!    :lol: :lol: :lol:

Call that a marrow...?

Paaah!

That's just a courgette down here, we usually chuck those back, as it makes sense to keep the proper big ones...;0)

Ha ha ha DD!

It goes dark when we bring home courgettes, and there's usually a traffic jam outside, while the lorry reverses into the drive!

I heard that they're going to hold a concert inside one of the smaller courgettes we've grown, not for many people mind you, just a couple of hundred...;0)

It's no use showing pictures like that DD, because the cinema showing the film has just rung up to ask if they could use one of the larger ones for an all-night concert, with seating for five hundred!

They were showing 'Pinnochio' last week, and nobody turned up, because it was taking too long to get round the traffic jam outside Growster Turrets, while the various wheelbarrows were being trundled in...;0)
