Corn is growing!

So I made 4 rows of corn - 2 of them I planted a few weeks ago and we had that lovely bout of cold weather, so cold I think it killed half the seeds I planted including the corn.
But Jason and I planted another 2 rows just 3 weeks ago and already there are very noticable corn seedlings popping through. Thinking of it now I should have taken a picture but I will do that soon.
My tomatoes are doing well - I bought 4 seedlings from Home Depot and 1 pretty large one from the Edison High School plant sale. The bigger one is hopefully going to be producing tomatoes soon and it looks like some of my lettuce is sprouting. The confusing thing about gardening with new seeds is not knowing what is a seed and what is a weed. I have found quite a few weeds and managed to wack them out with a shovel.
I've also started a compost bucket and am burying it weekly. Jason brought home a bucket with a lid that serves 2 purposes-keeping the dogs out of the "treats" in the bucket and keeping the smell in.
I am traveling this weekend but may be able to take some pictures before the weekend...it's so much fun to go out to the garden 1 day and a few days later see all new developments.
