 6- the shelves are at their thinnest. finish the last stored apples and sweet potatoes before they soften.
 7- wild greens are returning. dock, dandelion, and chickweed will blanch and freeze, or pack in vinegar with garlic and salt.
 8- the first chives, mint, and sorrel come back early. chop and freeze them in oil cubes for soups deeper in the year.

11- start a new cider vinegar from apple scraps and a splash of last year's mother. by midsummer it will be sharp enough to pickle with.
