My biggest tromba, nearly a foot and a half tall. No flowers yet though

Sid is about 20 cm tall, starting to put out tendrils that I've wrapped around the fencing used to make his arch. Plus, four minuscule flowers. So being eaten by the chickens must have frightened the living daylights out of him and persuaded him he'd better get producing sharpish, otherwise his life will have been in vain.Comment

Had a look at mine this morning, after a drop in temperature over the last few days and torrential rain overnight, I think they are beginning to struggle a bitit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

It's the wind doing the damage more than the rain, although we've had a considerable amount of that as well over the last week.Originally posted by rary View Post
I'm so pleased you talked me into growing a Tromboncino in the polytunnle rary.

I guess I am in.
I wasn't sure for a long time because we will be moving later this summer (we are buying a house at the moment, which is exciting, but quite interfering with my growing). I am still not sure how to support it so it can be moved some time around end of July or beginning of August. Maybe I will cut it back and let it grow side shoots at some point.

Welcome Ani to you and your Tromba.
He's a whopper! What's his name?
Comment
-
I am not naming it!!!
But it's certainly she Tromba, ending -a - has to be a woman (at least in Czech).
Comment
-
If it was a Tromboncino, ending -o- would it still be female? I'm curious now!!
She/he should have a name or she/he may feel left out of the conversation.

My boys are in their pots in the greenhouse. I'll need to fix some wire mesh to the inside of the greenhouse frame for them to come climb up.
The third one will be going off to his/her new mummy on Friday.@thecluelessgardenerComment

Goodbye, little Tromba. Grow strong and make your new mummy proud.Comment

Great looking plant Ani, I do hope you can move it safely when you moveOriginally posted by Ani View Post
I just wish I had thought of an excuse like that when at the end of the season I have nothing to show

One of mine was being a little b*gger, it wanted to grow along the ground, and have fun with the slugs, despite me keep standing it up and poking it through the wire mesh
So today it got tied up, that'll teach it to do what it's told
Still haven't decided where I can plant t'other one, it's doing ok in a flower bucket for now...Comment
