Marrow plants how many would you expect

We have a marrow plant which has so far produced two lovely marrows, however there are no signs of any further fruits or flowers, will that be it. I was hoping for a few more than two.  :lol: is it too late for it too flower now or does it just need some sunshine

you've got the whole of August and some September (a good 6 weeks +) for more fruit.  Maybe harvest the 2 that are already there and it should encourage more flowers  ;)

Brilliant thank you.
We have harvested the two, eaten one already lol. I have never grown marrow before and only grew these because the seeds were three years out of date and i had a spare square.

My mothers marrow as a kid put me off, but there are some fun things that can be done with marrow so i am trying my best.

I don't need to grow marrow varieties ... my courgettes readily get to that stage in a blink of an eye  :lol:

I always thought they were the same but this year i have really noticed a taste difference, maybe my pregnant taste buds i suppose.  :lol:

Leave a few courgettes to grow and for the skins to harden up and ripen, it's the maturing them that makes them taste like marrows IMO.
