Watermelons in the old compost


All last year I composted in one of my pools in the garden..When it came time to plant this year, I sifted what seemed like tons of dirt with my compost mixed in.  I ended up with all the stuff that had not degraded and just left it there.  Well then I realized that I needed space for the melons..no where to put them but the old compost and boy am I glad I did.  The melons are going crazy.  These pictures are the first melons that we discovered, since then they have more than doubled in size.  (that was only 4 days ago)
