I just added that top dark layer Wednesday and Thursday. It's the compost from a spot in the pasture where I put out round bales a couple years ago. Took my mini tiller out there, worked it up, loaded it in kubota rtv and shoveled into beds. Hope it helps.

I have some extra sweet pumpkin sprouts I'm thinking of planting in the old cow feeding spot. The dirt is very rich. But if I want to keep the deer off them, it would mean more fence building.

I have been gone from home for 10 days and I don't think my tomato plants missed me!

Someone was turning on the sprinkler for them. They would have missed you if it wasn't for that.

I got out after work and transplanted two 6 packs each of Sierra Gold Cantaloupes, Heart of Gold Cantaloupes, and Tender-sweet {orange meated} melons. Also had 4 Armenian cucumbers in two 6 packs. That is a 33% germination rate, which is pretty bad. Luckily I have plenty of seeds.

I put 4 Pruden's Purple tomatoes in a swimming pool full of my new kitty litter soil mix. I'll post pictures and the ratios of the mix later.

You are right. I have it attached to the yard irrigation system so the plants on the pier get water three days a week. Also, we had over 3 inches in the rain gauge, so they did not go lacking for water. Lots of blooms and much leaf growth. I need to protect leaf growth all I can for these on the pier because the July sun is quite hot.
