I've only picked a baby trombo so far and want at least three to store. I find they keep well and I like the dense flesh of the non-horn end - they make good fondants or portion-sized baked rounds!

The plant in the heat today (34 today, but 38 yesterday), it will perk up as soon as the sun goes down

   

and some of the babies

   

And I found this courgette verde with ideas above its station!

   
Has Anyone Seen the Plot?

Does the courgette Verde have tromba envy? I've heard of that sort of thing but in a different context Smile

Ok tromba novice here what is it and what does it taste like. I’ve never grown it or thought about growing it, so I’m interested in your thoughts.
A pocket knife is not a weapon in the right hands it’s an essential garden tool.

Once you've grown a Tromba you'll grow them every year.
Guaranteed to make you laugh - they taste good and store well too.

It’s a courgette for people that don’t like courgette. Cook it for 30 minutes and it’s still not mushy.
It very versatile. Chopped and roast it with you spuds. Big fat discs of it with Olive oil salt & pepper, pan fried like a steak.  Also used it instead of pasta, noodles & ribbons.  What ever you do with courgettes you can do with this. Just cook it a bit longer. Also they store well apparently (mine don’t get the chance). They’re fun to grow. What more convincing do you need  Big Grin .
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.
