Tomatoes and ground cherries all transplanted, and another sunflower

Transplanted the central patch tomatoes and ground cherries:
- 4 x ground cherries
- 1 x Sweetie tomato (cherry tomato)
- 2 x tofubrick tomato
- 2 x medium tomato
- 2 x Scotia tomato

And, in the centre of the central patch:
- 1 sunflower (the nicest one) -- supported with a stake on either side and string loosely securing it to each stake

The soil in the central patch is very, very sandy.  Not much organic matter in there, but nice and loose, easy to work with.

I made a mixture of the following ingredients.  Put some at the very bottom of the ~1-foot deep holes, then wet that.  Then placed the plant.  Filled up the whole with alternating layers of the mixture, and the soil that was there to begin with.

Mixture:
- compost from my compost bin (see previous post a few days ago)
- aged horse manure picked up last year (it's several years old)
- mushroom compost left over from last year
- leaves ground up finely
- vermiculite
