It has been 20 years since we dabbled in gardening, but we have a good 1/2 acre of land in which to do it now. And we are here long term.
And wisdom or ideas?

Not a farmer or even a gardener but wife likes to dabble a bit. Is it too early to start this stuff inside? I SERIOUSLY doubt she can transplant radishes.
Dont know what to tell you about the radishes. They grow so fast I've always just direct sown them. Maybe she's growing them as a pest prevention crop and wants them big enough to do that as soon as she puts them out? I've used Icicle radishes for that when growing melons. Afaik they can be transplanted but won't do much the first couple of weeks after being put out.
Maybe not too early for peppers - they're usually started 2-3 months before last frost date. That's around mid April where I am.
Only thing I've started so far is onions (from seed). Peppers are next though.
What, no onions and garlic? I couldn't cook without those.
Actually I do most of the cooking too since I'm retired and the wife still works full time.
But we eat (and I grow) lots of different stuff. I don't grow shelling peas - seems like too much work for too little food. So post SHTF we will just have to do without. We'll still have snow peas and sugar snaps.
And one year I grew sweet potatoes and had a huge harvest, but no one wanted to eat them. So I won't be doing that again unless maybe we decide to raise a pig.

Whats the early crops everyone plants? Sugar snap peas is all I am thinking right now.
I won't be dropping seeds into trays until 3/1. Tomatoes, A bunch of Amish paste and green peppers
I need to figure a new game plan. Last year I planted 8 butternut squash plants and only got 2 squash.

I tried to order seeds from my normal goto: Johnny's Seeds, and at this time they are not selling to non-commercial customers due to seed shortages.
Good subject... seeds. Are all seeds created equally or are some better than others or even last years crop seeds?
