    • I need to ask, the trombos that are on the plant just now are quite long and thin in comparison to the courgettes, do they start to bulk up and run to marrows like the courgettes or do the just get longer and a bit thicker

        In the case of Sid, nearly a has-been.

        I was thinking more of the sheep in Wallace & Grommit (as in Sean/Shorn). Sorry if I'm labouring a point unnecessarily here.

            Sorry Rary can't help. I've never successfully grown a Tromboncino yet. So no idea how they do their growing.

                        Just thinking to the future do you have ideas what next years competition will be?

                                Thank VC they are growing in the bag that I have filled with shredded material and sand so possibly there is a bit of heat being generated by this and so help with the growth
