One of first crops here will be rhubarb which I will make into several rhubarb cakes. Steamed asparagus would be next and when seeds can go in, leaf lettuce. As soon as I have beans to pick, I string them and steam them. Another early favorite are tiny potatoes boiled and fresh peas thrown in at the last few minutes of cooking. Spring is quite aways off here but I will be trimming in my rose garden soon.
