  • hang the marrows individually in nets, or Hessian sacks, so that they can breathe.  Marrows can be stored on shelves, but may sweat with contact to the shelf, and start to decay.

Marrows can be stuffed, used in stews or soups.  Marrows can also be made into wine, jams or chutneys.

It is useful to have some marrows stored in an outside shed for use during the winter.
