Spring time preparations

Hello I am quite new to gardening and I will be starting a garden this year. So far I have started chamomile,yarrow, lemon balm indoors and I am having success.
Now all I am wondering is what everyone else is doing around this time of year? I am eager to get started but it was minus 10 Celsius out last night.
Just wondering what everyone else is up to

I will be growing beans,radish,arugula,turnip,kale,spinach,lettuce,cucumber,wild flower mix,Swiss chard,yarrow,lemon balm,wheatgrass,chamomile,white Dutch clover and Crimson clover as my cover crops. I will be using sheet mulching. The garden will be about 15'x18-20' so I am hoping to have a decent sized one for my first time gardening. I've set up a few bird houses and have set up some bird feeders as I'd like to attract as many as I can.

I also recently spent 4 months in Nepal living on a permaculture farm which was quite neat sometimes in rice fields and the majority of the time on the hill side(I included a photo of the farm). This is where my inspiration to start growing my own food came from. Another thing I am interested to get up and running is an aquaculture small scale herb setup.

Let me know what you guys are up to.

Most of us can start planting in April, So you question is effectively what do we do in early January. We simply read and plan.

For you with a 80day season between last and 1st frost. You will be able to grow ALOT of green leafy vegetables, when it comes to fruits/seed, flower, and storage root, your option are almost zero. But there might be a few cultivars for you.

Hmm so you guys are not really doing much aside from what I am doing.... I think the longest grower I have is cucumbers. I'll be trying to start the majority of my plants indoor to get a head start. Will probably leave the leafy vegetables to a few weeks before first frost from what I have seen they like the cooler temps.
I didn't want to be getting into tomatoes,potatoes,squash my first year.
I also believe our season is closer to 100 days first frost is around may27 and last is around sept 22
