I was going to wait and start this thread after I had a picture to start things off , but so many of you guys are way ahead of me so I'm putting it up now.

Every year I end up having oddball vegetables like "twin" yellow squash or tomatoes that are extra large or deformed (from the blossoms setting at a low temp.). I thought it would be neat if we could start posting pics of "strange" vegetables :D Might give everyone a laugh anyway.

Suggestions:

1) If you are posting a picture of a large vegetable, be sure to include something in the picture for perspective like a ruler or a coin.

2) If you are posting a picture of a "weird" vegetable , try to capture it from several angles and be sure to explain what YOU think it looks like (please keep it clean).

3) Have fun! I love to see all of the different ways fruits and vegetables can turn out if something is not quite right. My deformed veggies are always my favorites. Conversation starters , if nothing else!

I have a pumpkin pepper ( a kind of eggplant) that sprouted with two attatched stems, and four leaves, like a conjoined twin seedling. :ep Very cool! I cant take a picture, I dont have a camera.
