Hello everyone.

A friend of mine has a mutated vine,it looks like two vines with one growing 
on top of the other
but they are joined like siamese twins. This vine has the only female 
flowers coming up at the moment
so we dont want to cut if off.
Has anyone had the same thing?
Would the pumpkin get fed twice as much?
Should I give him my crystal?

Usually they do not produce anything but if you have the room give it a try.
 Once quite a few years ago I had a normal looking vine that produced a
Siamese Twin Pumpkin.  It grew to 92" before it had a blow out.  Had the
judges worried about how they would deal with it.  Took some pictures of it,
maybe I should ask Dan to post it.  Craziest thing you ever saw.
