But that is an English Marrow that Brad grew, not the same as Zucchini.

From the EVGA website:
Marrow is a confusing term because it refers to different things in different countries. For show purposes, it refers to a member of the cucurbita pepo family, otherwise known as summer squash. It is a direct relation to the zucchini and courgette. The main difference, apart from size, is that zucchini and courgette grow on bush type plants with the fruit growing on top of each while the marrow has vines like a pumpkin. That being said, the British also call zucchini and courgettes marrows once they reach a certain size. Marrows exist in several colours and combinations including white, green, yellow, orange to almost black. Some have stripes. For show purposes, only green and light yellow, almost white marrows are accepted. Light green stripes may occur on some green marrows.

Marrows tend to have bubbly skin while zucchini are generally smooth.

Hay Wiz I was just talking to a veggie gardening friend of mine and he said if you can find Italian zucchini seeds you can get zukes in the 20lb range from the plants.

This is my first post on this site. I was going over old posts and found this one. Last year I planted a basic zucchini from a local nursery. Grew small ones to eat and kept a 5-7lb'er for seeds. This year I planted 2 plants and they are producing 20-30-40lbs! They are smoothed skinned, dark green, taste like zucchini. Huge! I left the approx. 40lb on the vine to mature and keep the seeds. It may of crossed with a 127dmg LaRue field pumpkin plant accross the garden last year, but there is nothing resembling a pumpkin except size. Any info on how it got so big, or if you want seeds, let me know. These selfed as I started the field pumpkin later and they were not flowering. I am sure they didn't cross with my giant pumpkin!
