    How much of each veggie should I plant?

    I'm going to be planting tomatoes, yellow squash, cucumbers, and the long green onions. I'm in a family of three, and I have a few relatives I could give produce to. So I'm wondering how many seeds of each I should plant? I already picked out 5 squash since they produce a lot!

    Today I soaked the seeds in water and I plan on plating them tomorrow in several pots. I will be keeping them indoors for about four weeks to make sure winter and the last frost is over.
