Has anyone had, or heard, of anyone having any success with a twin or double pumpkin? (I'm not sure what yoy would call it). Take a look at my diary for a picture of what is close to a perfect double pumpkin. I could be interesting to see wht it will do but with the poor spring this year I don't have many plants to play with.

I also encountered a "siamese" pumpkin this year on my 440 plant. Past results have not been favorable on "growing these out".
