I will update the island every couple of weeks to see what is happening. Yesterday we had 90 degree heat with 15 to 20 mph winds and the growing medium stays moist all the time. I planted spinach mustard greens along the ends about 3 days ago to see what happens and they are up already. The seed package said germination would take 7 to 16 days so the moist hothouse conditions are great for quick germination it seems. I made the island with the ends stair stepped so turtles could sun themselves on it and the other day I had a turtle on one end and a big bullfrog on the other end but I didn't have my camera with me.
