I am in total agreement with Dave. Get them built (at any time of the year you can in fact) then cover them with plenty of mulch until your ready to plant something.
If you have the resources, you could put up a tunnel over the new mound and that would let you get something growing much faster than waiting for spring planting.
My plans for this next year will include setting up two growing mounds that will be shaped for tunnels to be placed over them in the future. This will let me grow crops that I normally have to wait till the middle of march to plant.
