I picked a bowlful of Roma tonight (sorry, can't do pics) and they are very much that shape. Left mine to be much redder, though. Used some in ratatouille, absolutely delicious.

Glad your Cherokee beans have done well Duke, and they are originally courtesy of Jeannine, bless her!

See you soon, we are like ships passing in the night!

my Roma looks like those as well :-\, i got them in an A4A winter swap last year.

saddad is that a sharkfin squash top right? if yes i have noticed that some of the spaghetti squashes are shaped like those but the one I'm growing is exactly like the ones in the grow your own movie, big green and stripped.

sleep did take a little while to come once my head hit the pillow, tons of ideas buzzed around my head :) but generally i don't get to bed till 01.00 sometimes much longer, much to my husband's disgust :-\.

so are the spaghetti squashes as rampant and triffidish as the sharkfin?
