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.
