I have never been happier to see a worm...

Last night I decided to purchase my plants so that I was forced to plant them today. I knew if I waited, I wouldn't have gotten the plants and done the planting on this gorgeous day - I would have found another way to occupy my time.
I bought 3 small grape tomato plants, 1 regular tomato plant, 4 pepper plants and then seeds for lettuce, cucumbers, green beans, and watermelons. I also picked up organic plant food.
After my duties at the Board meeting, I mentally prepared myself to spend a few hours in the sun. I also slathered on the sunscreen since it is the first fully sunny day we've had in over a week.
Here's how the plot looked when I got here.

I was pleased that there wasn't too much ponding in my plot since last week it was squishy, very squishy. I went to work turning the soil a bit just to get the dry parts wet and wet parts not so wet. While turning the soil, I saw some worms and was so happy to know that the soil has recovered from its dead state of a week ago. After that, it was just a matter of deciding where to plant what.
I've a row of tomatoes, a row of peppers with lettuces in between.
The next row is watermelon seeds and my last row is bush beans and cucumbers.
Also, the other members of the community put up a fence last week - I'm not sure if it will keep out the deer, but at least they will have to work a little harder to get in.
