trying out our green thumbs

Well, we finally got around to planting the strawberry and fuschia plants we picked up LAST week! They are probably much happier now! The kids had a great time, and Maleah is hoping to do more soon.
It's been hard not to just run out an buy a ton of garden supplies, especially since she's so interested (and I LOVE having a nice garden). However, we've held back. We are currently renting our house from my father in law, and it's up for sale. We didn't want to get things in the ground, get all excited about them, and then have to move because the house has sold. But, it looks like we may be able to do a little garden, since some things have come up recently that may mean we won't have to move for a while. I'd love to do some raised beds... So we'll see! But for today, the berries and fuschia will do! Though by this weekend, I may have to run to the store for more garden supplies! ;)
