Conjoined Yellow Squash

This is a picture of my conjoined yellow squash--turns out there is another conjoined one just beginning to grow on the same plant! Believe it or not, I grow my squash plants in pots on my deck, which makes gardening a lot easier.

I have this same problem -- conjoined squash. I attribute it to planting too close together -- too many seeds. I should have thinned them out. I'm no expert.

I got Jack's GIANT BEANSTALKS when I didn't TRY to plant pumpkins in my MULCHED area. Now the house is almost eaten alive with the vines! lol Only one pumkin/squash, though, so out they come asap as the sun cools down. Last month it was all rains. This month it's all heat! Next month it will be NO MORE PUMPKINS! I wish they were only squash, even though pumkins are in the squash family! God bless our gardens. ; ) ><>
