I'm 6 weeks from my last frost, and the temps are in the 70s. I know I'm still going to get frosts and probably some slushy snow, but it's getting too hot too early for stuff like salad greens and carrots to sprout.
I sowed about 80 feet each of greens and radishes, and about 500 feet of carrots. Also sowed about 20 feet of parsnips, 5 feet of scorzonera, 30 feet of kohlrabi, and 10 feet of rutabaga. Transplanted all of my onion sprouts, brocolli, cabbage, and cauliflower(about 40 plants and probably about 300 onions) and sowed a couple of rows in situ for a separate harvest.
Built another small greenhouse as I ran out of room in the first one. Unfortunately I'll probably be building another two of those because that one is already at max capacity.
Started building another chicken coop too. I've decided to go all out with a 4x8 x8 foot tall walk in coop with movable partitions for roosters and chicks. Also building in storage cabinets for feed and assorted chicken stuff. I want to be able to toss compost in here during the winter and have them pick it apart, so I'll do a laminate floor that can be washed out with a hose.
My back hurts...

Mine isn't quite there yet. He just makes mudpies and throws sand.
