2019 Tromba Competition

[rary]

Seeds have been ordered. Are they special needs or do I just stick them in damp soil and wait?

They are actually quite easy to grow, VC grows them

I'm in.
Trying a different variety this year. Can't remember the Name , I'll dig the packet out later and find out.

count me in,i still got the big snake to carve up,the hens like it,

I still got 2 to use up - I might chop one up and add to a marmalade batch. I did have an awful lot of squash generally, because of the good weather, but will still be growing as many this year.

So yes, I'll play but still haven't found the camera connecting lead - so I'll just have to find another way to get pictures here or visit PC World LOL.......

Found it. I'm growing Tromboncino d'albenga.

I was thinking about trying it, but I see there is someone with a name quite similar and if I enter it may lead to confusion, after all he may not add the old part of his name when corresponding and lets face it, there is no way, could it be applied to a young man like me

[SarrissUK]

That's the one I grew last year SP - beautiful

They start off with white flesh and quite firm - really good for roasting.

When mature, they go deep orange inside and so sweet, strong smell of melon.

[SarrissUK]

And, of course.. I'm in! I was a bit disappointed not to see my name on that list automatically lol I've saved seeds

[MyWifesBrassicas]

Still time for me to join in this one?

Plenty of time - they can't be planted out until May lol

[veggiechicken]

There's only one person I'd add to this list without his say-so - and that's Old rary - as we all know how well he did last year with his big dangly one and that he won't be able to resist showing off again this year.


........and, you're in, Sarriss.

[Chrissyteacup]

It wasn't dangly, it was firm and held well, and by the way I have sowed some seeds from it and if they grow up as hard and long as it was I will be well pleased, but please VC do not be disappointed just because you can't get your hands on it

[rary]

And we will have less of the old, I am not old I am just a mature teenager

[Gillykat]

My attempt went pear-shaped (rather than snake-shaped!) last year due to bad organisation on my part


But for 2019......I'm in!
