6- strawberries are at their peak from mid-april to the end of may. jam them, syrup them, or freeze whole on a sheet pan before bagging.
7- asparagus pickles well in a salt-vinegar brine. blanch and freeze whatever doesn't get pickled.
8- rhubarb keeps every way you ask of it. jam, chutney, sliced and frozen for winter pie.
9- garlic scapes from last fall's planting curl up now. pickle them, or pesto them with parsley and walnut.
10- spring peas blanch two minutes, then ice down, then freeze flat. they hold a year.
11- pesto starts now. basil isn't here yet, but parsley, mint, and sorrel make a green sauce that freezes well in cubes.
12- strawberry-rhubarb jam is the old reason both crops happen at once.
