The plant on the bottom was covered with silt and sand during the deluge. I am waiting for some sun before I go out to start messing with the vines. In this cool wet weather they are brittle as heck. I may decide to risk it and leave the soil on top in hopes of some extra rooting. Last year I had one melon set a tap root down which saved my 206 melon. The stump was shot early in the season, but those roots off the vine kept things going a bit, so that I could get the melon to an early weigh off.
