Container pumpkin growing

I just read something interesting in the Pumpkinnook newsletter. Apparently someone is sucessfully growing pumpkins (not just the plant, but the fruit too) in a container. They are growing it on a roof outside somewhere.
That got me thinking, would it be possible to grow and fertalize the baby pumpkins on my cuttings? I've got scads of them on side shoots growing into the bushes and across the lawn. If I brought them inside and grew them in containers and hand fertalised... would I get actual pumpkins from that? Worth trying anyway. Plus apparently trimming back the orig. vine will make for bigger pumpkins on it, acording to some reading I've done today.
Interesting, veeeery interesting... I def. need pots. And good potting mix. Asap.
