Please can someone tell me if courgette plants and marrow plants are the same? Are the marrow seeds larger than courgette seeds? I grow courgettes and know others who let their courgettes grown into marrows.

I don't think they are - neither do the guys down the allotment. Courgettes tend to go a bit 'cotton wool' like when they get too big. Marrows have a different flavour and have a pleasant 'stringy' like texture ...... Cut your courgettes when they are reasonably small and cut your marrows when they are just big enough to fit into your oven
