Corn is up

I planted 18 hills of corn last Monday afternoon.  Yesterday evening I saw about ten small stalks shooting up.  We are having several days of rain, everything is looking healthy.  We fertilized the spring blooming shrubs this weekend, and put out several dozen annuals. 

My other two gardenia bushes have started blooming. 

I have a variety of plants in seed cups, in the southern windows, including cucumber, squash, moon flower, sunflower and more herbs.  Ten tomato plants are in the ground, and I plan to put more in seed cups.  I am doing much more food stuff than I normally do.  Last year I had so much fun growing corn, I just had to do more this year.  I think we will have three patches, each planted two weeks apart.
