Tuesday Garden Party

I love when other bloggers come up with ideas of things for me to write about! I thought I would share some of my favorite resources for figuring out what to plant and when!

Here is a gardening calendar from the Oregon State Extension Office:

Planting and Harvesting Calendar by Oregon Tilth:

According to both these websites we are in the planning stage and it is time to get some seeds started indoors. Oh, and it is almost time to start peas! We have 3 blueberry plants anxiously waiting to go in the ground but I think we will wait until after this weeks snow threat.

I have a whole windowsill of lettuce starts that need to be moved to bigger pots and I'm working on some lettuce. The kids started some sunflowers and daisy's. It might be a bit early for those but I couldn't convince them to start anything else.

Menu Plan Monday!

Monday - Pasta w/ Ricotta Walnut Sauce and Spinach Salad
Tuesday - Cuban Style Black Beans and Rice with Corn
Wednesday - BLT with Fruit
Thursday - Mushroom and Sour Cream Soup with Salad and fresh Sourdough Bread
Friday - Night out!
Saturday - Birthday Party
Sunday - Family Dinner (TBD)

I'm excited about trying the recipes on Monday & Thursday and the kids will be super excited about Wednesday's dinner since Dad is working late so we are eating Bacon!
