You know how people try to find homes for kittens?

Well. my surprise spaghetti marrow plant has presented me with, I think, fourteen spaghetti marrows which I know we will never eat and I am trying to persuade people they want one.

I can see the pros and cons between both.
Kitten: fluffy and cute
Marrow: doesn't shed fur
Kitten: lovely to cuddle
Morrow: doesn't randomly upchuck over your bed
Kitten - could be a fussy eater
Marrow - edible.

Good luck anyway! :-D :-D :-D

The way that marrow is growing it will be leaving them itself.

There is that passion flower that is wanting to take over the world on the front of the house and sending it windy things in the windows and this huge spaghetti marrow that I didn't even know I was getting AND that chilli plant I certainly didn't want that is growing chillies I have no use for like the is no tomorrow!

I need sanctuary!

No indeed!

That would still leave me with a dozen spaghetti marrows to deal with.
