Longer, sunny days allow me to get 2 or 3 good planting hours in right after work. I've been dashing out of the office at 4:30 PM (which is my regular leaving time but it rarely happens) and I work until sunset which is now around 7:45.
The tilling went beautifully. We have nice dark brown soil and I am amending with worm castings and composted chicken poo.
Last night I planted radishes, spinach, turnips (3 kinds) and carrots (3 kinds). The night before I planted 3 kinds of potatoes and 2 kinds of onions. The night before that (Monday) I planted 3 kinds of bush beans, red onions, ever-bearing strawberries to fill in the existing berry patch and radishes.
This Saturday we plan to plant the new Macintosh apple trees and peach trees that Steve just bought. The peach trees already have small fuzzy peaches on them.
Now I have about 60 square feet of garden left. I am not even half done.
