I would start with a review of all seeds and take stock.
Collect all soil that the moles push up. There's sandy areas that should be good for sowing seeds in, and some more loamy that would be good for growing on.
I'd start saving milk cartons to use as pots for next year, because I really don't have many plastic pots.
I'd actively look at taking cuttings and collect seeds of my existing plants, although there's not that many... but wild aquilegia is so pretty, it's worth looking after them.
I'd go and dig up a load of the honeysuckle growing wild the other side of the pond, to use to trade with, and to use in the garden.
I'd build garden structures with all the wood that we have in the barn, again to trade with and to use ourselves.
I'd set up more veg beds, in more places in the garden, so that I can separate different types of the same plant, to keep the seeds as true as possible.
I'd buy an egg incubator and buy eggs of various types - chickens for eggs, chickens for meat, ducks, geese and maybe even turkey. That'd give both meat, eggs and fertiliser.
I'd also rent the fields out to the farmer - I'm sure I'd be able to trade for something useful from him.
I'd get a gun too. Wild boar and deer would be useful in the freezer!
