Green Thumb?

About three month ago I played the apprentice gardener by planting some supertunias, somes herbs, but especially quite a few tomato plants. Here a little sneak peak of how they turned out...And finally, I was able to do my first harvest yesterday by picking some ripe grape tomatoes.
Verdict: they were delicious, nice and firm, with a great taste! Too bad that there weren't more of them ready, we could have gone for some more. I'm looking forward now to tasting some of the Beefsteak and Roma tomatoes when these ones would become ready to be eaten!
Regarding our flowers, maman is taking such a good care of them since she got here that we can see a huge difference between today and when we just planted them...

Mmmm, I can't wait to try the other tomatoes too - the grape tomatoes were deeelish! And yes, you do indeed have a green thumb - it's good that at least one of us does. :)

Well, when I touch the tomato stems, my thumb is literally green. I didn't get as much luck with the strawberries ;-)

your flowers look great! I'm going to try petunias next year. What are the vines called?

we only have a few ripe cherry tomatoes so far-- but lots of green ones :)

The vines are called "creeping jenny". Don't buy petunias but Supertunias. We thought we only bought supertunias but turned out that the yellow ones are rregular petunias. You can see the difference!
