Default Soil amendment question

Carrots are coming back from last year, so are the onions and garlic in
my small backyard garden. I'm looking to amend the soil around them and
where they are currently growing because it is so hard, using pete moss
and steer manure & some of my 'not so successful first time attempt' at
composted , ahem, materialG! My hope is that things will grow
heartier and the soil won't be as hard as a brick like it is now.

Thoughts on digging up the entire area and replanting the carrots,
onions and garlic or amend the unused portions and wait until fall(?) to
amend those areas?

Speaking of garlic, when is basic harvest time for it?

And for you still in the cold, 82º yesterday, a record temp.
