I just wait for warm weather to plant radish seeds right in any available space in the garden. They grow very fast.

My wife wants me to plant some acorn squash. She handed me an envelope with seeds she had saved from a squash we bought last fall at the grocery store. I told her I did not think we would get much if any squash from them. Ok I am not sure about what I told her, am I right?

Diana, I looked at the seed site you posted above and am thinking of getting a few watermelon seeds among others. They did have a bunch of squash varieties I am not familiar with. Can you tell me if one or more of them are close to the acorn squash. And will the squash and watermelon cross pollinate?

I’m like you, I have always direct sowed radishes, but I was thinking about planters right now for some lettuce and spinach.

Acorn squash is really easy to grow, so if that is the kind your wife wants I would just pick up a pack of them in WalMart or the dollar store or the supermarket. I’ve had the best luck with acorn squash from the 5 or 10 for a dollar seed packets that I have never bothered looking to buy them any other way.
