Been away, came back to some humungus marrows (big zuccini's). Only my SIL who is away likes these big buggas for stuffing and freezing. We only like the little ones. So, have about 2 or 3 at over 3kg each if someone wants them! Redwood way, can list if someone wants to pick up.

You could make a nice pickle with them. Thats what I did last year. I use the old fashioned 'Bread and Butter' pickle recipe - not sure if Aunty Daisy or Edmonds book - and substitute with the courgettes.

You can make Bread and Butter pickle out of any vegetable. Great way of using up the excess from the garden :)

If you have hens they will enjoy them! Just slash them open lengthways & let them at the fleshy part!

People often ask me if they are fish and everyone has loved the taste. Cheap alternative to meatr when entertaining too.

They are not bad to eat if tough skin removed and then steamed with plenty of butter and seasoning.

Cut them in half longways. Scoop out the seeds. Put in some seasoned mince etc. Sprinkle some cheese on top. Bake in the oven. Quick, easy and tasty meal for everyone.

Do you like lemon curd! there is a terrific recipe for lemon curd where you replace the eggs with marrow. You can't tell the difference and it's better for you! I think the recipe is on NZ gardener's website or just ask in recipes, someone will know
