Good Sundee Mertnin.

It's like winter or sumthin round here. 19°F or -7.2°C outside right now.

Our trimming, transplanting, panting season is February. Before the sap starts rising and after the coldest part of the year.
We had 15 fruit trees and a 100ft x 150ft garden.
Started by trimming and removng everything that needed it, shredding it with the chipper/shredder and scattering it all over the garden.
Then I got to clean out a sheep or horse barn and distribute that over the garden. Not a Saturday I looked foward to.
Then we had a guy show up with a tractor and plow and disc it all in..
Then I got to make ready for planting by roto-tilling the whole thing.
That's when planting/transplanting started.

Didn't have a compost bin. Instead let 1/7th of the garden rest from planting every year. Spread lawn, garden and kitchen waste on that section and tilled it in. Rotated the rest section every year.
