Tromba bed

Tromba bed

Yesterday I dug out one of the compost bins (the mice haven’t come back) and filled one of my temporary raised beds. I was intending to make it into a nursery bed for the PSB, but I changed my mind and planted out my first courgette – this is Tromba d’Albenga*, and it’s wearing a cloche because I hadn’t got round to hardening it off.

I’ve just checked and it’s still fine. I was going to plant the sweetcorn yesterday too, but the bees were buzzing around the comfrey and the Welsh onions and I didn’t want to get in their way.

*I’m almost certain. I sowed 2 different squashes and the labelling went a bit awry and there’s a small possibility that it’s Sunburst F1.

  1. Are the Tromba a summer squash? I’m growing Sunbursts this year for the first time. I love pattypans!

  3. It can also be eaten as a winter squash, but I think it’s nicer young.

    This is yet another plant we are both growing this year!

  4. Maybe we should start a garden twinning programme :)

    I could have a little sign that says “Twinned with Patrick’s Garden, Netherlands”
