2018 Tromba Competition

[Sylvan]

Once you've grown one, you're hooked.

Are you all ready to choose your most outstanding Tromba for the Competition?
You can choose your own category - like Heaviest, Greatest Girth, Longest, Funniest or anything you think appropriate - that sums up the character of your Tromba.

We'll work it out as we go along.

Most pathetic for mine

Here is my last one just picked,and my entry,she is BIG and heavy she weighs in at neary 6.5 pound,and is 13 in at the widest,more pick with measure if wanted,this like the other one was grown outside with no feeding only kept tidy and water when i remembered

I think LDs should get the most scary, imagine seeing that on a dark night you would think it was a snake

If all the Trombpetitors could select their best F A R.T photo, either on this thread or a new one, I'll copy them onto a new thread for a Vote.
You'll need to tell me what makes it "special".
Remember,this is all about FUN - nothing serious.

Would have to be Lottie Dollie - at 6.5 lbs would be hard to beat that!!

When I picked my largest tromba - could not even get a knife into it - eventually went on the compost heap- I know I should have picked it earlier but wanted to see how long I could get it!

[veggiechicken]

Any photos, Issy?

What do you do with the trombas after? Do you eat them

I was thinking of growing a loofah next year, at least you can scrub your back with them

[veggiechicken]

You can scratch your back with a tromba.

I think they are great for eating, you need to eat, you can always get someone else to scrub your back

They very nice roasted along with other veg and herbs ext,better than any marrow

[SarrissUK]

I agree - great eating from them. They're great with any herbs and spices that you add to them, stay a nice shape. Much nicer than most courgettes, and definitely better than marrow And they've only got seeds at the very end, not all the way through like marrows
