Green Thumb

I can't think of a talent more appropriate for Tuesday's Talent than gardening, where being talented has it's own name--having a Green Thumb.  Unfortunately, I don't think J and I have one.  Now, I can keep a ponsettia plant alive after Christmas, but beyond that I think we've proven ourselves better at cutting plants down around here (Examples A and B, respectively).  I talked last week about our new container garden, and thought I would share pics of the plants in the containers, as well as the legend I made for us to keep up with what is where.

Container Two

Here's the legend:

Now, the pictures of the garden above were taken just after I planted everything.  I'm a bit concerned that today, one week post-planting, our tomatoes are yellowing and the herbs don't seem to be producing new herbs.  The cilantro, which I purchased recently trimmed looks practically dead.  Any suggestions?
