Sid is growing like mad. My only real success this year. I've had so much work my veg patch has been pretty well abandoned. So he's a really cheering sight. He's already at work growing another four vines in addition to the main one. Lots of tiny flowers, all male by the look of it, but very promising.
Thanks for doing this everyone, by the way. You're all keeping me sane, don't you know! Or as sane as a member of the nutters' club can be.

I must get some photos!
Solo is doing nicely, and shrugging his way through the runner beans, sweet peas and cosmos to his place in the sun. No flowers yet, though.
Kessel must be putting on root, because he's not putting on anything else. I'm hoping the happy weather will make him smile.
The two seeds I planted (well, four in two stations) have actually germinated, one in each, but they're so ickle I don't expect them to do much. They're cute, though...

I checked on mine this morning. There were 4 very limp Richards alongside the whirligig - they looked very embarrassed to be caught in such a state. I gave them a drink and I'm hoping they will be more upstanding by this evening.
The other 3 Richards and their mate, The Sicilian Serpent were a bit more respectable but none of them look as advanced as some of yours.

One of mine (the one in a ikea bag, incidentally) is growing away like mad. The other two, planted in the ground, not so much, but they are coming on, just slower. No flowers and no fruits yet lol

Went out to do some watering today. Hadn't seen Sid since 27 June. Looks like he's enjoying life. The extra vines are shooting up and the main one has grown a fair bit. If I said a foot in three days, would it seem an exaggeration? It looks like it to me, but I can't believe it, especially given that the side shoots are also growing well.
I'll be growing a Tromba every year.
