  • I might try some at home and some direct.... never sown curcurbits direct before...

    The ones that haven't shown were in a heated prop.

    • ^If they germinate, they should do well, as much as anything because they won't suffer any setback that might affect transplanted plants. What are the night-time temperatures like where you are? Maybe you could make a little mini cloche just to cover your tromba seeds at night. Even a plastic bottle with the bottom cut off would do.

      • I sowed mine a while ago and only 1 in the pot germinated and it got moved out to the greenhouse. When I was watering this morning I noticed that the pot now has 2 in it

        So don't give up on the no-shows just yet!

        • It's still down to 5C sometimes, but most things seem to be thriving, mostly because they're kind of used to it (it's the norm, not the exception), and because I harden off religiously and ruthlessly. But yes, I will use a bottle cloche for any direct sown babies.

          • We've had it down to 3 a couple of days this week but my fingers are getting very itchy.
            I planted out a few tomatoes and baby corn today. If they survive the next couple of nights I'll try a tromba
            The problem with rounded personalities is they don't tesselate.

                      • Good morning, just try to catch up with this thread, when I started reading I thought this is a script for The Crazy Gang (VC will know who that is, she will have heard them, my mother told me about them) the one I had planted outside has survived, so now starting to harden off the rest of them
                        it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

                        • Of course I've heard of The Crazy Gang - my grandmother told me about them My mother hadn't heard of them as she was too young.
                          Come on, rary, tell us, what's yours called?

                          • VC I said heard them, not of them
                            I have been busy making a frame for the troms. but need to know do they climb by them selves, like sweet peas, or do they need to be tied up

                            • Does it cost anything to name them?

                                I've been wondering about that too.
