If the tromba's in a corner, does that mean you have something else planted in the bag too?

Yes, far too much really - there's the tromba, very closely planted to a climbing Jasmine. There's also five or six bean plants, and a very small honeysuckle. But the tromba is doing amazingly, and actually, everything else in that bag is growing so well.

Do we have any firm categories to aim for in this competition yet? I'm far too eager to eat my trombas, so I neeeeed inspiration in order to leave them on the plants lol

[veggiechicken]

Any ideas?
As long as you put a photo up before you eat it, you don't need to keep it until the "competition"!!

I'm thinking
The funniest shape - perhaps that resembles something else (No, Ladies, not that!!!) Like a swan, or a chicken?
The biggest, longest, heaviest???

All ideas welcome.

^Sounds good to me. And maybe most Trombas per plant?

Sid is showing his potential, at long last. Two more male flowers today and there are ladies in waiting. I'm getting a bit confused about the Tromba gender thing, it has to be said.

I decided to pull my big one, and it actually came away quite easily...[ATTACH=CONFIG]81784[/ATTACH]

Sharon has decided to try for the back of the greenhouse. There's a gap in the panes there so she could do well by scrambling up inside the back. Tracey is making a break for freedom, so I've made her an interesting climbing frame. Pics will follow

Sorry, I'm not very good at innuendo.... I'll leave that to those better qualified!
