Squash/Courgette swap anyone?

[Digeroo]

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.

Hi, have you received my seeds yet?

[keepondiggin]

Hi Neil-they arrived this afternoon ( late postman this week!)-was a bit worried when I saw it in a Royal Mail plastic bag and apology notice on but all seems ok SAE,note and 3 bags inside?

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]

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 .... :)
