Time for Slaughtering the George again

We have a regular ritual. The "Slaughtering of the George". We've always called the biggest marrows "George". It's our carry over of the best courgettes and provides the seeds for the next year.


We've usually done it down the allotment. But this year it's too cold and wet. The plot is flooded again with all this rain from various sources (aka Storms Ciara, Denis, Jorge and a few days inbetween.) So this time it's in the kitchen.

Choose your George. (We have two more at the allotment)

Slice it open.

Collect seeds.

It really couldn't be easier. Now we just let the seeds dry and they'll be ready to plant at the end of the month. Ready for the next tsunami of courgettes.
