New potting soil mixed with old, screening to guard against squirrels.
Watering through the screening breaks up the stream and works like a fine spray, so it doesn't dislodge the teeny plants. I'll separate them further in a while. If they succeed, my friends next door will get some.
Speaking of which, the squash are steaming along, and if I train them towards the neighbor's patio, they can harvest them and cut out the middlegardener.
I'm literally tending to my own patch, to do my bit, for a small area of peace on earth.
