Like a kid on Christmas eve,  or in a sweetie shop.

If you are looking for things to do at the times of year when cropping is thin on the ground:

Mend any broken fences
Have you guttering & drainage on your shed to catch rainwater?
Build compost bins
Build a coldframe
Get a delivery of manure
Build raised beds if you intend to grow this way. I don't personally.
Plan what you want to grow - varieties, early, late & main crop

Just a few ideas to keep you busy ;)
