Presenting... Dick Trickle

Pulled up the last shlong of the season, and he's my biggest erection yet:

• Name: Dick Trickle
• Weight: 7.2 lbs
• Length: 4 feet
• Girth: 12 inches, around

Big Tony

Big tony weighted in at a whopping 20.6lbs and measured 66" in length!

He was a lurker who lurked beneath the foliage ...

Best friends

A curious trombo

Finally a shlong worth talking about at Graham... oh wait that doesn't sound good.

Just picked this bad boy on Saturday - if you look closely you might see a slightly bulbous tip... an elastic band was wrapped around the end to try and "enhance" the appearance. The elastic band broke after a few weeks when the girth was too much to take.

• Name: T-Rection
• Weight: 4 lbs
• Length: ~44 inches
• Girth: 10 inches, around

Strombo soup

I roasted some big girthy strombos over the weekend. They completely filled my oven, but resulted in 8 cups of green slimy strombo goodness.

After roasting them, the seeds separated out nicely, and I used a spoon to scoop out the flesh.  With some onion, garlic, curry paste, spices and coconut milk, it made some DELICIOUS soup.

First Shlong picked at Graham

It's been a shlong time coming...

Here is Wolfy proudly displaying the first shlong picked - as seen in the photos it's 2 feet long with a nice little twist in it! It weights in at a whopping 451g!


My plan is to put it through a mandolin and make it into noodles!
Here's a small sample - polenta with trombo noodles and homemade tomato sauce:

I also tried making trombo chips... charcoaled them - did not taste so good.

Crescent Beach Tromboncino update

We measured a couple of our long ones with the beast topping out at 52".

44.5" long ... and has now been picked

52" and growing ...

Trombochips

We tried deep frying tromboncino slices to make trombochips ... but even with some smokey paprika and salt they tasted awful ... apparently deep frying does not always taste good.

Trombochips

Next up we try them in the oven as per Corie and J.

The Spring ...

We now have quite a few Tromboncinos that have been fertilized and are growing. We picked our second Tromboncino and dubbed "The Spring". Size reference included.

45 inches.

No, not our watermelon.  It's our trombos that are 45 inches.  And they're getting girthier every day!

Aug 17th stromboner blues fest

Here are a couple pictures of our shlongs, including one curvy one we ate tonight. I think strombo chips are going to be the new kale chips. Next big thing. Maybe strombos are the musical fruit, or at least Corie seems to think so. Our Mini Farmer also likes our Mini peppers!

Ed and Clare won the prize for first trombo harvested, ba da da da na, even though we cheated and planted ours first, ba da da da na, and now all our strombos are being eaten by pests, ba da da da na, we've got the stromboncino blues!

Shlong time no see!

Stromboncino 3&4 have nearly made it to the top of the spruce tree. 

Dinner of roasted veggies (potatoes, beets, carrots and onions) plus chard with black beans. 

We ate 20 different types of veggies from our garden that night!

Cute stuff gold

Saturday harvest 

Sunday harvest

Pimp Hulk ridin' a stromboner

Cute stuff!

The cobra ...

The first Tromboncino has been harvested ... We call it the Cobra

Measurements to come ...

 

The yield ... absolutely full, mostly cucumbers.

A shlong way to go

Not much progress at Graham, I think I forgot to water Hugh G, and half of his leaves and fruit went yellow :(


Little guys have grown, but very slowly.


Nice little harvest of potatoes, toms, green onions, turnips, beans, peas, cauliflower and a hot pepper.
