Plant killers?

So we got some strawberries a few months ago when it started warming up in Rexburg. I think it was in march... It was a warm sunny day when we decided to plant them. We decided to plant them and put the pot outside. BIG mistake. It snowed! so unfortunately all of our strawberry plants died!

So our second atempt at being "Green" we got a tomato plant from the farmer's market, but forgot to plant it for about a week. So it started to die. We planted it in a Topsy Turvy and hung it on our front porch and so far it is still HANGING in there. haha. I think it is getting some color back and looks like we might have some tomatoes.

So it is good that we can repent of our bad planting skills. We decided to get some new strawberry plants (3) and some lavender (good for medicine and is used in Adam's favorite spice Herbs de povonce) and we got some Hot banana peppers, which we hung upside down too. We were going to redeem ourselves from being plant killers. So we planted them the next day and got some pots for a really good deal at the family dollar. We planted them and have been watering them often. and we are seeing progress... the banana peppers have a new blossom and the strawberries have some strawberries starting to grow and some new blossoms. and the lavender has a new flower starting to turn purple. YAY maybe we aren't plant killers after all!
