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.
9- if ramps grow nearby, pickle them in salt and vinegar. the brine that's left over is gold.
10- check the seals on last year's jars. soft lids and dimpled tops go to the front of the shelf to be eaten soon.
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.
