Annie's Garden - Update #1

It's been one week, and nothing has died yet. That means our garden is off to a great start!

A few months ago, I had some extra green onions. I thought it would be neat to plant them to see what would happen. They're doing great, and they're even about to flower.
Back in December we planted a rosemary plant. We figured it would thrive because there is a rosemary plant down by the street that is huge! I like to think Charlie's daily watering helps it flourish. The plant on our patio doesn't receive any sustenance from Charlie, but it's doing pretty well.
The topsy turvy is hanging in there (ha! pun intended!). The tomato plant is strong, but some of the leaves look a bit wilted. My first thought was the dreaded white fly, but there's no evidence of a white fly infestation. After further consultation with Ma Humphreys, horticulturist extraordinaire, we determined that I might be giving the plant too much water.
It's tough to see, but here are some pictures of the questionable leaves.
I received a free tomato seedling from the LA farmers market about a month ago. We planted it in a small pot and hoped for the best. It's grown a little, and I'm hoping it will outgrow it's current home and need to be replanted into a larger pot.
The seeds Chris planted last week haven't sprouted yet. But we do see some clovers, which means there's still hope!
