Hi

Post: # 210232Post Widdershins »

I live in Wales which means we have rather wet summers so growing crops can be a very hit and miss affair, but I still love doing it. Unfortunately I broke my foot a few weeks ago so harvesting has been a nightmare and I've lost quite a lot of stuff, and instead of courgettes I have gigantic marrows :(

Never mind, here's hoping for next season.

Or I could grow rice suppose :iconbiggrin:

Hello and welcome. :iconbiggrin: :wave:
I hope the foot gets better soon. :icon_smile: And I hope you love stuffed marrows... :wink: But there are lots of recipes here somewhere to give you a few other ideas of what to do with the marrows.

Hi and welcome
Sorry to hear about your foot. I do hope it gets better soon. Lots of healing vibes coming your way.

Welsh rice, well that would be a novelty.

Hi there and welcome :wave:

But damn it how happy we'll be!

Hi and welcome! I feel for you, I broke my foot one year in August and all I could do was watch my fruit rot and veg go over or to seed, cos my poor husband couldn't cope with doing everything here, as I couldn't do anything much at all. It's the worst time of the year to injure yourself and so frustrating!

Oh widdershins, poor you :hugish: .
Frustration is a terrible thing, not being able to do stuff in the garden :( .
You could always get your OH to make marrow wine........one way of being happy!
Get mended soon and take care.

Hi there and welcome to Ish. :wave: ...the recipes recently were for overgrown courgettes, so search that rather than marrows!!
You didnt break your foot by dropping a marrow on it did you??? :shock: Hope its all better soon :hugish:
