My garden is up and running.  It's been twenty five years since I've done this so I figured I'd make a few mistakes.  This year is sort of a shakedown cruise. 
    The first mistake I made is that I forgot that you're supposed to plant big pointy seeds like squash, pumpkin, watermelon, etc. with the point down.  Two of my five seedlings didn't take so I had to replant which put them a month behind the three that did sprout.  That didn't matter much.  Squash are very hearty... almost bullet proof. 
    My biggest error was planting all of the seedlings at the same time and watering them the same.  Tomatoes and cucumbers should have been planted first, then the peppers, then the squash.  The amount of watering I did was fine for the squash and pepper seedlings but I killed most of the tomato and cucumber sprouts.  So I had to buy a few already started plants. 
     Tilling new ground is terrible work.  If I had it to do over again I'd do a raised garden, but I toughed it out and got it done.
      My biggest concern is the wild critters. I live on a lake and I've been feeding the wildlife since I moved here.  The garden is completely fenced in and I've taken measures to protect my crop.  I expect to lose some... I just hope they leave me enough to make this a worthwhile thing to do year after year. 
    This year I went with stuff that's easy to grow in this sandy, acidy South Jersey soil.  I planted four Beefsteak Tomato, four Cherry Pepper, four Bell Pepper, three cucumber, and five Summer Squash plants.
    Bla, bla, bla... here's the pictures.

     The first picture is the roots I wrestled out of the ground.  I should have added something to the picture for perspective so you could tell how really  huge the pile is.  Every one of those roots fought like hell. 

   I put ten pinwheels on the fence to hopefully bother the wild critters.

Tomato plant...

So jealous man. That looks awesome

We had a cold spell where it was going down to the mid forties for a few nights.  This caused my squash plants to drop some blossoms.  This isn't a major catastrophe though.  There are plenty of buds and three of my squash seedlings got planted a month later than the others due to an error of mine. (see above)  The dropped blossoms set me back a week or so, that's all. I'm still on track. 

    Having a compost heap is more fun than I expected.  It's like playing in the mud when you're a kid.  I'm making the biggest pile of rotting garbage possible.  What fun!! The compost heap is a living thing.  I have to water it whenever it gets dry and turn it over with a pitch fork every two weeks. It's hot to the touch... you can feel it cooking. I bury the household garbage inside the lawn clippings to keep the stink down for my neighbor's sake. 
Summer has just started and already it's pretty big.  By Fall the heap should be gigantic. 

Looking good man. In a month or two youre going to have more than you know what to do with. Hope your pressure cooker is ready lol.
