All the herbs I ws grew for me. About 6 different kinds of basil, dill, fennel, thyme, oregano and parsley. Squashes, pumpkin, watermelon, melons, plants all grew, but I only harvested several kinds of squash (butternut, acorn, summer), one small unripe pumpkin and one unripe watermelon. This was my first time ever growing any of these vegetables so I was thrilled with what I got. I planted about 20 varieties of tomatoes because ws is no effort (just sowed into labeled cups and put into larger containers with lids I'd punched holes into) and all grew and I had fun exploring the tomato world! I'm pretty sure others will have more specific info on how many seeds to put into a container but I just estimated. Small seeds (tomatoes) got more, large seeds (melons, squash etc) got less per container. If I had tons of varieties of something like basil and tomatoes, I sowed each variety into its own small container (like plastic cup). The bigger seeds I just ws into typical containers like milk jugs.
