Here's my lot for the season, we had a handful more but they went to the chickens.

So today I chopped the trombas. The weather is going to get bad, so I wanted to get in there first.

Must be the heaviest

[rary]

Wow, that snake is really impressive!
Pulled this one today. It was only 164g. Mine haven't been very impressive but at least they produced something.

Hubby says there are some better ones in the pots but I'm too wimpy to go out in the rain to look. Maybe tomorrow

Is this one too afraid to get wet?

[rary]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83792[/ATTACH]Slightly ot but. , you think my butternuts have crossed with my trombas ?

Definitely the most confusing

[rary]

May I introduce Big Richard please?

I can't extricate him from the wire netting without a surgical operation and, I fear, he would not be quite as impressive with his end cut off.

Since he's still putting on length and girth I haven't measured him but I did grip him firmly to give you an idea of what he has to offer. As you can see, he's a proper handful.

The most suggestive of a big grin

[rary]

Here is my last one just picked,and my entry,she is BIG and heavy she weighs in at neary 6.5 pound,and is 13 in at the widest,more pick with measure if wanted,this like the other one was grown outside with no feeding only kept tidy and water when i remembered

And of course LD is the most frightening

[rary]

^^^^Sorry LD that should read, and of course LDs is the most frightening,
Tried to edit but unsuccessful, and not s if I would consider you the most frightening after all there are a lot of women on the Vine

Here's my entry - won't win any prizes but I may have been the most northerly grower so I might get bonus points for that

Weight was a little over 1.5kg, length 93cm (38.5 inches).

I got an unexpected crop from a single volunteer potato that decided to sneak in between my 2 tromba plants. I decided not to disturb them so I harvested the lot right at the end of the year and got some absolute whoppers, with a total crop of over 5.5kg from the one seed potato!!
