Tromba Gallery - 2018

[veggiechicken]

Tromba, Tromboncino, Trombone - and other similar names for a funny shaped squash that is guaranteed to make you smile.

Its time to decide on who has grown the Funniest, Amusing, Ridiculous Tromba of 2018. (Yes, I know what the initials spell).

I've copied some of the photos from the original thread https://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gr...ion_95762.html

but, if I've missed any out that you think should be included, please say, and I'll copy them in.

Also, if you have any more entries please add them.

There won't be a Poll as I think they are all winners but feel free to name and shame the ones you think are the F. A. R. T. iest. with reasons

I decided to harvest this guy today.

This is my biggest so far. It's 20 inches long, and a good 7.5 inches girth (!!)



I can't weigh it - I gave it to a friend at work!

First half decent Tromboncino
365g, 48cm (19") long, 10cm (4") at it's thickest point

[Snoop Puss]

OK, here's the biggest one:
72 cm long (just over 28 inches), 1045 g in weight (37 ounces), 24 cm (9.5 inches) at the widest circumference. Now to see if I can post pictures:

Edited to add: the weight is just the tromba, not the plate as well.

Though there are one or two still looking fine
This one actually has the knob on the end its the only one like that

Unfortunately my grandson wanted his fifty pence back
