This season, I planted giant marrows for the first time. The first harvest all burst, and in early August I pollinated them again. There was still a month left before the competition, and I had almost given up hope. But one marrows started growing very rapidly. In 32 days, it weighed 136 pounds. I took first place. I didn't expect anything like that.
