I am finally getting back into the swing of things. I apologize that my March Menu is a couple days late. I had planned on getting it together before I went out of town, but things sometimes don't workout how we plan. February is a blur and March is already underway!!! I cant help but to think about Spring being right around the corner. With spring comes our yearly vegetable garden. We really need to get started on it or at least get the ground prepared and ready to plant.
We are a bit late this year due to all of our cold weather plus the freak snowfall we received. You know Texas you never know what your gonna get year to year. I think we will hold off a couple more weeks. Until then we will start preparing the ground and thinking of what we want to plant. Isn't that the most exciting part, well besides it all growing in. I am thinking of planting green beans, zucchini, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, jalapenos, lettuce, green bell peppers and maybe some tomatillos. I'm sure I am missing something but that is all that comes to mind. What are your plans for your garden? I have also included McKLinky at the end of this post. If you are a bi weekly or monthly menu planner, then I would love for you to link up your menu.

I'm a peanut butter nut too!
We are planning on planting tomatoes in our garden of course. We also had great luck with squash and cucumbers last year. My daughter wants to try and grow potatoes in a garbage sack. She's doing a garden plan and backyard redo for a science project. Thinking spring!
As far as what we're growing, we already have an established strawberry patch & an established grape plant. The strawberries will produce tons, but the grapes might not produce for another year since we just planted it last year (we replaced a diseased plant with a new one).
We also grow tomatoes & cucumbers every year. We eat them as fast as the plants give them to us. Last year we tried lettuce & it grew really well. A few days before harvest, a freak hailstorm hit & destroyed all of the lettuce that we had grown. I don't know if we'll try it again or not.
We also grew red & white onions last year. They grew very well. I'd love to do them again this year.
I'm thinking about trying my hand at potatoes and maybe carrots this year. I haven't quite decided yet. I'd love a blackberry bush, but I still haven't fully convinced the hubby to let me have one.
March is starting out wet and mild here in Maine, but mild is relative. We're still in winter mode and we're very anxious for spring.
Your garden plans sound wonderful. We used to have a big garden at our old house, but our lot here is way too shady. Fortunately we are close to a fabulous little farm and farm stand. And our town hosts three farmers' markets each week.
I hope March is good to you!
Thanks for the link up, Tina.
Have a great night!
Jamie I fell in love with the tamitillos in Napa. Chef Andy and Connie showed us how to roast them to make verde sauce. They are so good. I was instantly hooked.
