Tromboncino!
a tangle of tromboncinos |
They didn't do much through our dry spell, even though they were high priority for water. I got two tromboncinos off them before it started raining. Then they quadrupled in size and became COVERED in fruit. They are doing way better than the zucchini and squash I planted, so they are a winner so far. They have only just got a little powdery mildew (understandable in this weather) and hardly any trouble with blossom end-rot - both of which are my main problems with zucchini and squash.
Here's the two tronboncinos amongst beans and pickling cucumber |

here's some mini ones starting to form |
here's what they look like on the inside |
I will definitely be growing tromboncinos again next year and I hope I can save my own seeds as well. It will be interesting to see how they survive into winter.
