Tromba d'Albenga from Franchi

This not a curcubita pepo like other cougettes and marrows it is curcurbita moschata so is related to butternut squash. However it is good as a courgette picked small, is it good as a squash picked bigger and it keeps reasonably well though not as long as a BNS. I think it has a lovely flavour. It has all the seeds up one end so unlike some BNS you do not have only a tiny bit to eat and a large quantitiy of seeds.

My favourite.

I know I'm v. late, but I only joined up yesterday :-[, any chance of my being added to the list? I've got a few nice squashes, plus a couple of courgettes?

As we are fast approaching the end of Feb can I ask that I have all seeds sent to me by the end of next week ( ie by Friday 10 March) so that I can swap/sort and get them all back to everyone asap

Hi, not sure if you meant the 10th of March as it is not a Friday? Just wondered if you have an update on when you are posting seeds out?

keepondiggin · « **Reply #36 on:** March 15, 2010, 22:00:05 »

Right- I think I'm all done now!! They should be posted out tomorrow-thank you to everyone taking part -some of you may end up with a couple of packets of the same kind as they were quite a few duplicate ones. I hope you are all happy with the mix and I hope I haven't sent you back anything you sent in but I have had a glass of wine...
Must take the dogs out now .... :)

BIG THANK YOU to Elaine for all your hard work sorting the seed swap ;D

Mine arrived this a.m., now I've just got to get some new compost and we're away!
