What a GORGEOUS weekend! I got out into the garden and planted peas, beets, lettuce, parsley and carrots. I haven’t tried carrots in years because our soil is so heavy (and then there was the potting soil experiment – YUCK!), but the soil was so good in one section of the bed where I was planting I decided to try it again with some fairly short carrots.
The garlic that we planted on the very last day of 2008 is coming up finally. Studmuffin has been rather worried about it – it’s rather funny to me. And everyone is pretty much over their colds…and I did not get it!
Here’s the menu fer this week:
Mon – homemade pizza
Tues – Chicken of some kind
Wed – Spaghetti & Meatballs
Thurs – Breakfast for dinnenr
Fri – Chicken with spinach (I haven’t a recipe for that yet either)
Sat – Burgers
Sun – Shepherd’s Pie
Having a menu plan has been very good for us – I just have to remember what I need to take out of the freezer ahead of time…….

I’ve been in the hospital since Friday and did not get to enjoy the lovely weekend weather. 😦 But I have vicariously enjoyed it through you. Keep posting about your garden, as I’m not sure I will get to plant one this year.
