2020 Tromba Competition

[veggiechicken]

Just like last year and the year before (that's 2019 and 2018 for the confused). let's grow Trombas, have a giggle and plenty of boasting.

For new members, the aim is to grow Tromba squashes in all their magnificent, amusing glory and to entertain us throughout the summer.

Who's in and who's out? Still plenty of time to order your seeds.

Read all about it in last year's thread - make sure you're sitting comfortably before you start.

I didn't post any pics either - they were absolute carp last year

[veggiechicken]

Mine were too. Didn't get a single boring tromba - let alone a funny one.

[Small pumpkin]

He11 yeah! .....I’m in
If I only grow one veg it’d be a tromboncino :cool ( chillies excluded for that statement ).
Grows great, looks funny, tastes lovely and very versatile in the kitchen. What’s not to like.

[Gillykat]

I'm in!

Mine started off well last year then some numpty kids broke into the plot, trashed everything growing in the greenhouse and I never got around to sowing a second batch in time

Mine are gonna be HUUUUUUGE this year!

[Vegi potager]

I'm in... surely we can't all do worst than last year. That said there is still one in store, think that will come out for my tea Thursday

[SarrissUK]

I'm IN!! You all need someone to beat haha

Last year was rubbish, and my self saved seeds were utter iiissshtt.... so I'm buying fresh seeds this year! Let's hope for a better tromba summer

[Small pumpkin]

Just to make you all feel better. I had a great year with my trom last year

You're in at Number 8 for boasting, Sp. whether you intend growing them or not.

You're in at Number 8 for boasting, Sp. whether you intend growing them or not.

I’m only growing in 1 1/2 tunnels & 2 raised beds this year. Tromboncino was the first thing I chose for the limited space available. There’s no point gardening if you’re not growing a tromboncino .

Half hearted boast for last year. Massive crop but only 3 over a ft long

[veggiechicken]

Mine didn't grow to 3" long and it wasn't even perfectly formed.

We’ve all experienced that disappointment

[broadway]

I'll give them a go
