Green Thumbs Up!

So Matthias and I come from a family of very experienced and successful gardeners and we thought to try our luck and test if we were luckily enough to have inherited a 'green' thumb.

We started off with the basics: Tomatoes (both cherry and the normal big ones), peppers, and cucumbers. Here they are when we first got them...

Tomatoes:





Peppers and Cucumbers:



We also got some herbs: rosemary, thyme, sage, oregano and mint.
Here's the 'garden'...


We gave a little water, sun and of course love and slowly they began to grow...







So far we have harvested 4 cucumbers and many, many leaves of potential peppers and tomatoes. Here are 2 of 'em...don't mind me in this pic...I'm pretty sure I just rolled out of bed and decided I wanted to eat some cucumbers...




Currently the mixture of too much rain, water or sun they are looking a little weak and yellow...hopefully we can save them...otherwise we are not so green handy as we thought!
