Watering from the faucet

When I went out to water this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find that all of the plants that I had transplanted last week are still living, except for an okra that became detached from its roots when I planted it.  I had quickly covered it with dirt and hoped for the best.  Really, for someone who didn't grow up gardening, and who claims to have a black thumb, one casualty is an accomplishment.

But, the most exciting thing happening in the garden this morning is that I have corn sprouts!  I was so excited to discover nine howling mob shoots so far.  Woo hoo!  Does country gentleman take longer to sprout?

I transplanted the cabbage seedlings to a larger container, and added one marigold seedling to the container that the cabbages didn't quite fill out.  For good measure, yes?
