Which seed plate is recommended for planting squash seeds?

though the name of the seeds stamped on the face of the plates, some times the seeds sizes are varying and bigger especially with traditional Non-GMO. when am not able to fit in any plate, i use blank plate to make recess to suit the seed and put a adhesive tape on the seed side. thats it.

I use the one for cucumbers (recommended plant seeds are on the plate) but you may want to try a different one if the seeds are larger of smaller. I run a test by placing the seeder over a bucket and turning by hand to see how the plate picks up the seed.

Most summer squash seeds work very well with the cucumber plate, PN 1002-26, that comes in the optional plate kit. If you have any varieties that are too large, I would recommend you try the seed corn plate which comes standard with the planter. It has slightly closer spacing than the cucumber plate, and may require more thinning.

I usually do firmer vegetables, like root vegetables, but have used it on yellow squash and zucchini and it worked well. It's pretty sharp.

several plates will work large peas,liima beans sweet corn and bean you can always take a pea or bean plate and cut the holes larger if needed but you just test and check spacing etc use cheese or bees wax to fill in holes if spacing is too close I LOVE THIS TOOL hardly ever use my cole planter anymore lettuce. beets,greens carrots spinach etc 3 1/2 seasons because its so easy to plant just make sure your soil is fine and as level as possible GOOD GARDENING !!!!

Have used for zucchini only so far. A friend used it on butternut squash too.

Hulled sunflower is best, mixed with a few shelled peanuts. If you don't want a mess that is the way to go.

I find safflower seed from Home Depot or Lowe's works well. Just make sure it is only safflower seeds.

Dear Rebekah, thank you for your question, this is Lisa the owner of Zziggysgal. Some seeds are easier to propagate than others, for example, larger seeds such as cilantro, watermelon, squashes, sunflowers and even tomatoes are perfect candidates, however, extremely small seeds such as oregano, savory and thyme rosemary and mints are extremely difficult to propagate.

Five: Broccoli, Lima Bean, Popcorn, Cucumber and "Light" Carrot...apparently somebody plants glowing veggies? 2 reasons I answered after others. First, unless you're seeding at least a 1/4 lb., the extra plates aren't worth it. Second, the cucumber seeder is of questionable value. A better gambit is to add cucumber seeds to the seed plate of whatever corn you're planting- pop or otherwise- and let it shuffle its way in with your corn. Raccoons and skunks (major league corn wreckers that they are!) seem to seriously dislike the smell of cucumbers, which keeps them away from the corn.

There are five optional plates in the set. Light Carrot and Broccoli both handle a variety of the same small seeds - lettuce, cabbage, etc - but have different seed spacing than the standard plate. Also Lima Bean, Popcorn, and Cucumber plates are included. I plan on trying the popcorn plate with okra and beets to get lighter spacing than their standard plate.

I never have tried that but they should work just fine to remove seeds from squash.

The different plates just give you options. I usually use the one with the smaller holes for potatoes when I make gnocchi because I want a very fine, fluffy texture, but the other plate would work well for most applications (mashed potatoes, purées of other vegetables or soft foods.) The ricer is very well made. Good balance, easy to use and clean. Making baby food would be another good use. Experiment to see which plate works better for your texture preferences!

Correct. Get a large plastic tray from the garden shop and put under the seed tray. This way you won't waste water.

I found that keeping the seeds moist (not wet) inside the dome on top of the hearing pad until a rainforest temp is sustained is best used under the dome the whole time until the plants are pushing against the top. That's why I chose the taller 7" lid. Plants end up growing bigger and stronger for longer in the dome.

They are meant more for vines and flowers. They are pretty sturdy but I think if they had something with weight on them they would not hold up well in a wind. I don't actually know, but my guess would be not meant for squash.

Try summer squash - tip from customer service with Bassett's. I have also feed mine potatoes and apples (quartered). Another tip from Bassett's: don't let them get too cold at night. You might want a heater or keep them in a warmer area.

I would reserve the use for perennials, as Fungi have the best symbiotic relationship with perennials. I would mix about 1/2 teaspoon per cubic foot of soil, then disperse the soil and plant your seeds.

I'm not sure. I usually use prime. I bought sunflower seeds from several different vendors. I dont think the weight was of any significance. One place sent the seeds shelled.
