Soooooo....I normally grow giant pumpkins in my backyard as a hobby. I have a 1300 square foot garden. I kind of think this supply chain shit is going to get worse before it gets better, but who knows. Do you think I should grow food this year? Obviously I am decent at growing cucurbits....but what other vegetables should I consider growing?

Depends on what you wish to accomplish. If you want to grow things that store well, grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, carrots, beets, onions. Also, beans that you can store dried are great for long term storage: great northern beans, pinto beans, black-eyed peas, kidney beans, and lots of others. Tomatoes store well if you're willing to stew them and then either can or freeze the stewed tomatoes. Peppers are super easy to freeze--no blanching required. In the spring, I'm planting mostly stuff that stores well and then some watermelons because my family loves the watermelons we grow. Good luck. I have come to really love my garden. Brings me joy even when I don't have much time to be a good steward of it. Nevertheless, it is prolific.
I am convinced having a garden extends your life.
I agree. :)
