First corn sighting

After we picked up our second rain barrel today, we went out to plant the remaining starters I had purchased prior, and I noticed what looks like an awfully promising baby stalk of corn breaching the ground.  This made me so happy.

One of our tomato seed spots seemed a bit dug up.  I’m glad I used the toilet tissue rolls, as that seems to have deterred the digger from doing more than unearthing down to the top of the roll.  Time will tell.
