2018 Tromba Competition

[veggiechicken]

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

I'd like to start a little competition, open to all, to grow the most outstanding Tromba 2018.

Entries will close about the same time as the Virtual Show and there will be a Poll to decide on who has grown the Funniest, Amusing, Ridiculous Tromba of 2018. (Yes, I know what the initials spell).

Here's some back ground info from one retailer - Others suppliers are available - try Franchi.

Away to look at seeds

[Small pumpkin]

I have seeds, I am growing Tromboncino this year (last chance). So it looks like I'm in.



Bl@@dy he11 she's done it again

[Thelma Sanders]

Me too!

[lottie dolly]

And me,i already ave zee seedz

[Ms-T]

Oh,go on then..

[Zelenina]

I might have a go if my seeds aren't too old.

[Small pumpkin]

Are we having an official sowing date VC? Or have you already started
I'm hoping my Tromboncino do better than last year or I'll be winning the "did you even try section" . I didn't even get one big enough to eat last year .
I'm blaming the weather because obviously it's nothing to do with my lack of talent

[veggiechicken]

I haven't sown mine yet - in fact I haven't found my seeds yet - but I'm sure I have some somewhere!
Last year, I had one Tromboncino and about 3 courgettes - that was it. Hoping for better this year too.
No official start date - just post our progress perhaps?

[Scarlet]

Ive some spare if you need some VC....they've been open a couple of years but should be ok....they were fine last year.

[veggiechicken]

Shall I add you to the list of entrants, Scarlet.

[Scarlet]

Haha....bu@@er off! I always get caught up in your crazy ideas!























Go on then!
That's it though! Just this one

[veggiechicken]

You were going to grow them anyway, don't try to tell me otherwise 'cos I won't believe you.

Now about the Luffas

[Scarlet]

Nooooooooooooooo!

[Gillykat]

Meeeee!!!!!! I'm in.....pleeeeeeaze

I've got some Trombo seeds which I bought last year and never got round to sowing.
