Well for the first time in 3 years of my gardening journey, I grew squash from seeds instead of nursery transplants. Well at least winter squash. It was quite the site and to be honest I didn't think they where gona do well. Since this was such a success, what are tips and methods for making sure plants germinate and around what time to sow the seeds? (I live in New Jersey). I would love to be able to start growing from seeds, I could get a lot more resilient breeds for where I live and could finally get my hands on determinate tomatoes since I hate indeterminates with a burning passion. There's also such a better feeling seeing that your growing fruit from what used to be a tiny little seed. Thanks!
