  • Mine are looking fairly perky still, but the new flowers don't seem to produce much. However, I managed to find a HUGE tromba at the back of one of my plants! I have no idea how it's stayed hidden for so long lol I'll take a picture of it as soon as I can. I'm gonna have to save it before the cold sets in!

    • I was taking a photo today for the flower of the day thread, and got a pleasant surprise as there was a trombo behind it that I didn't know about

      it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

      • I also cut one off for roasting for our tea, and roasting with a garlic oil is far better than making soup with them

          As you can see a bit of damage at the end but not as bad as it looks, I also have one on the plant at 39 inches long

          • My entry for the trom comp are somewhere in there's 82 pages. Good luck finding them VC . I haven't got a clue!
            I don't think I'll have anything else to enter unless I find a really freakie shaped one. Not getting anymore big one. Lots of little ones still.

            I'm definitely growing them again. They've out performed Cougettes by a long way. And I really like them.

              Same here SP the taste and texture when cooked is far better than courgettes, and just thinking, I will head for the section for posting how to prepare and cook things, to try and find out how others cook theirs

              • Mine basically gave up after producing one good fruit each.

                • Mine haven't been very good this year - going black on the ends. If it had been on a person, they'd have been down the clinic.
                  I don't think they appreciated not being watered through summer.
                  My "best" one grew through the chicken wire and had a little accident when extricated.

                  May I introduce Richard Brokeback he's a bit embarrassed about his injury!

                  • In certain circumstances that could be quite serious it also reminds me of something else beginning cicum ference? no that's area it something to do with the size I think

                            • I bought I was out as I’ve been picking them small and young like courgettes - they’d stop growing and start going yellow at the tips.

                              ...until I found this one lurking on the ground

                              It’s about 105cm long and nearly 2.7kg - that’s 5lb 14oz in old money - heavier than me as a baby
