At that weight, I'd call it a yellow marrow! Enjoy!

Did you mean ounces? Well done anyway!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Yep, every time I go down! I am guessing I am just getting male flowers still (not sure how to tell the difference)

Male flowers just have a long thin stalk up to the flower.

Female flowers have a small veg shape just behind the flower.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

hello i remember when the market garden i worked at in the 1980s grew the first yellow courgetts ,we could,nt sell them every one thought they were going off when we picked them ,we stopped growing them then they became populer as we closed the buisiness down .they need picking smaller as they arent as prolific croppers as green ones if left to get big ,we picked yellow ones daily green ones twice a day  jezza
