Pumpkins, Squash & Gourds

Have you ever had twins? Squash twins?

15 years ago

Hello all,

I'm just wondering if anyone has twins. I was on squash bug hunt yesterday and found several sets of Italian tromboncino zucchini twins. Well there are two growing from the same point in leaf axis. The blooms should open later today. I will post pics. I also have cucumber with 'twins'.

Relatively common. Sometimes both grow together as conjoined twins, sometimes one or both dies.

What if you got a double atlantic giant? I bet that would give you a good shot at getting near a world record. Especially if it happened to somebody who was already likely to win, then they'd probably beat the competition for years.
