Hiya,
Not being a pro, but having some spare time...
I know they're both heavy feeders, you may need to do double duty on the
water and fertilizers. But my main concern would be with the amount of
light the pumpkins would get.
If you have small pumpkins, maybe you could trellis them and sacrifice
whatever corn was in the way? Maybe support the pumps with tomatoe(call
me dan quayle, i can never remember how to spell tomatoe/potato :^ )
cages?
Good luck with your experiment!
