Update on the garden

We seem to be quite unlucky when it comes to growing herbs. We have tried basil, thyme, garlic, rosemary, parsley, and the outcome is the same every time: failure. Could it be that difficult? On the photo you can also see our cherry tomato plant. I can tell you that it looks the same since last August. A snowball's chance in hell that we are ever going to eat a single tomato from it!

What you can't see is the parsley, which has also been 3cm high for several weeks, and which has now adopted a rather horizontal orientation. I don't know what it is we are doing wrong.
At least inside the house the situation looks much better. Green plants are doing fine, and we even managed to sprout two avocado seeds from scratch (on the foreground). Well, they are not exactly trees yet but it's getting there.
