Meal Plan Monday and a Garden Update

We got our plants on Friday!  This weekend the Hubby and I installed 2 Saskatoon bushes (to hide the compost bin and provide delicious berries in a few years) and 2 Red Haven peach trees.  I'm excited!  The pecan tree is still in a bucket, because it rained cats and dogs on Sunday, starting right about the time we tried to start putting the plants in.  Oh, and also we went on a date Sunday night, and it seemed like a good idea for the dirty ones to shower before we hit the theater.  Amazing date night!

On to what's cooking:
Monday- Cabbage stir-fry with udon noodles.  Pan fried tofu?

Tuesday- Black bean and chorizo soup.  Bread.

Wednesday- Pork Tacos.

Thursday- Butter chicken (with a spice mix from the Indian grocery store), salad, rice

Friday- Twice baked potatoes, roasted cauliflower

Planning My Garden

I want to plant at least 2 new edible plants on my property every year until we are entirely self-sufficient or my kids move away from home, whichever comes first.  Perennials are best, as I'm not such a good gardener.  Last year we did three rhubarb plants and three nanking cherries.  One of each died.  I told you, I'm not such a good gardener.

  This year it looks like we're planting a hardy pecan, two dwarf bush apricots, and two saskatoons.  The munchkin also wants a basil plant of his own, and Hubby will probably request tomatoes.  And we're going to try to find a neighbor who wants a pecan so they can cross pollinate.

Are you gardening his year?  What are you planting?
