Early harvest dinner ingredients

Here's a pic of last week's pasta ingredients-- fiddleheads, asparagus, last fall's final garlic head, and a sprouted red onion. I made a delicious pasta with sherry butter sauce.
No I did not eat the daffodils! These are a fragrant mini that came with the house-- I put them in a small vase on the kitchen window sill to sniff while cooking.

'so much depends on a black wheelbarrow'-- hardening off tomatoes

Sorry, I could not resist the paraphrase! My old black wheelbarrow has a flat tire and is cracked and leaky, but works great for holding tomato seedlings I am hardening off-- I just wheel it in and out of the garage morning and night. If the forecast holds and there is no sign of frost in the 10 day weather report I will plant on Wednesday.
