Rain rain rain. Last year's compost pile is nearly ready for pumpkins to be planted in it. I'm going to let it air out a couple days. I removed all the top matter that wasn't showing signs of decomposing, because it is so new and tossed it on the this years compost pile. All those green plants you see on the compost pile are volunteers. There's tomatillo, tomato, bird house gourd, and several squashes, but I don't know if they are Dickinson pumpkin, yellow crookneck, or zucchini. I haven't checked closely.
In some places, when I was pulling grass clumps off the pile, cupfuls of isopods came rushing out of everything. 100s of nightcrawlers were slithering everywhere too. It is possible that the isopods will eat the seedlings when they pop up, which is why I'll be planting in a time when there's not going to be much rain.
