I planted my radishes, beets, lettuce, and spinach directly in the ground on February 7, 2025. I want to know the best time to start new seeds indoors so that they're ready to plant right after I harvest the current crops. Any tips on timing?

You might want to start your seeds indoors about 2-4 weeks before you plan to reap your crops, especially if you're moving into warm-season plants like beans and tomatoes. Since your radishes can mature pretty quickly, maybe start your next batch of seeds soon!
It really depends on your last frost date; mine is coming up in two weeks, so I've already started my beans, tomatoes, peppers, and other warm-weather crops in my greenhouse. It’s important to make sure your new plants can handle the temperatures before they go outside. Since your lettuce is about the size of a quarter, it sounds like you're in a good spot! Just keep an eye on those nighttime temperatures!
Thanks for the advice! My last frost is already over, so I guess I’m in good shape for planting soon.
That sounds great! Just make sure you've got some protection set up in case of unexpected cold.
I appreciate the tip! I’ll try to get them started soon so they’re ready to go.
