had a look at the trombo in the greenhouse its about 6ft. tall a number of side shoots but not a flower and yet the ones outside have a number of fruits and lots of flowers, don't know if its the growing medium, they are growing in a bag made up with shredded plants and bushes, several bags of seaweed and course sand with a couple bags of manure, or the bit of stress that they were exposed to when first planted out as there were several very cold nights, I am now going to start feeding the one in the greenhouse every third day with a diluted comfrey, seaweed mix to see what happensit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

When they are small, anything you can do with courgettes you can do with Trombas. When they are big use them like courgettes or butternuts, although they aren't as sweet.
I often use them thinly sliced instead of the pasta sheets in a Lasagna or similarly, in a Moussaka instead of the aubergine.

They're quite firm compared to normal courgettes, I think, perhaps because all the seeds are contained into a small space.
I grated them into all stews and casseroles and pasta sauces that I made last time I grew them - great fillers. I also turned them into courgetti with a special peeler that makes them into ribbons. Awesome little thing, and the 'pasta' tastes just like normal pasta lol

This one is already bigger than 8" and not pollinated yet (my hand to show the size). The smaller one behind also looks firm and good.
These two have been discarded, bad pollination or more probably too much heat/not enough water (I was on vacation). I harvested them after taking this photo, they are usable as a filler.
And this one could grow to some nice shape if it grows.
