Gardening?????

I am so excite but this screwy weather is really ticking me off. My normal sping/summer weight loss regimine seems just out of my reach. I am a gardener. I have my planting graph done my direct seed are organized and ready to go, plants started in the house, and the garden was tilled over a week ago. It is killing me I want to get out there and start planting! My reserves in the freezer are gone from last year.
I know how much weight I lose every year when I get in the garden between the exercise from the work and eating the food I produce every summer, I know I can get my last 30lbs off and not even have to try for it!

3 cherry trees, 2 apples, and I am planting 2 pears this year
Red and yellow raspberries
black, red, white and pink currants
Strawberries

Rhubarb
What I am planting:
3 types of sweet corn
Purple, yellow wax and green beans
Sugar Pie pumpkins
Butternut squash
Spaghetti squash
Pickling and straight 8" cucumbers
Sugar baby and black diamond watermelon

Carrots
Lettuce
Spinach
Fennel
Sugar snap peas
Lima beans
Herbs:
