Just realised I have some seed of these so will have to join in. Bought as Trombetta D'Albenga though, so not sure of the difference if any.

They aren't the same thing as the Serpente grow into very long courgettes, without the bulbous seedy bit at the end that the Trombas have. They can still make some very funny shapes though
It just sank in - you sowed 10 seeds Each plant can grow to 20ft or so if it is happy (that means if the weather ever turns warm ) So unless you have a huge allotment plot or garden, I don't think you'll need all of themLast edited by Thelma Sanders; 12-04-2018, 03:39 PM.

Well, I make my wigwam out of 8ft canes, and twine the Tromba round and round in a circle a couple of times, maybe 3 in a warm year, but lottie dolly's pic gives you a good idea of how vigorous they can be

So I'm hoping we do get a good warm spell - you might have more chance of that than the UK, though

i grew 1 once outside,it got a few but nothing like inside,i do believe it is the warmth they like,the 1 in my pics has had a lot of the leaves removed,it has 1 main runner to start with,then expodes from most joints as it grows,like a tomato plant does,IF my seeds germinate,will try 1 outside again,1 inside and let it go on,and maybe 1 let trail and take of the side runners,as you would a tome and cues,they are set to chit,evry day i look for signs with the maggy glass,how sad is that,
to add it never got fed either only rain water.Last edited by lottie dolly; 12-04-2018, 06:40 PM.sigpicAnother nutter ,wife,mother, nan and nanan,love my growing places,seed collection and sharing,also one of these
