Last year I froze exactly zero raspberries. I love a berry-stuffed freezer by fall, so I was determined not to repeat last year's performance. On Tuesday, my two monkeys helped me keep moving toward the goal. Once we started picking, I realized why none made it into the freezer last summer. One, my kids eat a lot of berries. Two, raspberries are much more time and labor intensive than other berries. No speed picking records were threatened by our trip to the patch, although several sprints were made down the rows looking for my 2-year old. Despite our slow speed, the raspberries were worth the extra effort. According to my 4-year old, "They're Keep Reading

Emily’s Berry Season Must Haves
Three of Emily's Berry Season Must Haves Berry season has arrived in the Pacific Northwest, and our warm weather is ripening all the crops early this year! Strawberries are winding down, with those beautiful Hoods leading the way. Raspberries are next on the list, with blueberries following close behind. I get excited just thinking about it. My family's favorite jam is strawberry freezer jam. Because of the ridiculous amount of sugar involved, I had decided I wasn't going to make it this year. Then my sister came to the rescue and recommended Mrs. Wages No-Cook Fruit Pectin (Amazon). I found it locally at Bi-Mart. It still uses sugar, but Keep Reading
All About Blueberries: Recipes, nutritional benefits + picking tips!
This is a re-post from a previous year. Blueberies will be ripe soon! Make a plan to visit a farm near you in the coming weeks! Along with our first heat wave of the summer... blueberry season has arrived! My sister and I headed to Jay's Blueberries in Oregon City today. This is our third year picking here. The bushes are huge and loaded with sweet berries. We walked away with 34 pounds in about two hours. At $1.20 per pound, the price is hard to beat. I called several other local farms; many early varieties are ready this week. If you are looking for a blueberry field in your area, check out these sites: Oregon and Washington. The Keep Reading
Pacific Northwest Raised Bed Gardening: May planting
Pacific Northwest Raised Garden Beds Last weekend, I came down with a serious case of Garden Fever. It happens every May. I can't be bothered with trivial things like dinner (pancakes) or laundry (There are six clean loads piled in my family room at this moment. You want clean underwear, kids? Start digging.). All I can think about is planning, purchasing, and putting plants in the ground. I spend every free minute in the garden until every last vegetable seed and start is nice & comfortable in their new digs. This year I got the kids involved and spread it out over three days. Growing food in your own backyard is seriously the Keep Reading
What’s for dinner? This week’s menu plan (5/18)
Menu Plan by FLNW reader, Abby Abby is a proud Oregonian at heart (Hey, Sweet Home!) who now permanently resides in rural Mississippi (the local grocery store really is Piggly Wiggly). She loves hunting monsters with her kids, playing golf with her husband, and learning cool new slang from her high school students. Abby blogs at Winstead Wandering. It was my goal, once upon a time, to try at least a few new recipes each month. I haven't done a great job of following through on that lately, but with summer break on the horizon, I plan to get back into the swing of things. The new-to-me recipes on this week's plan are the grilled sausage and Keep Reading
