Newbie pics and compost question

Hi there! I love reading the posts on this forum and have learned tons. I have my first real vegetable garden this year and thought I'd post some pictures if I can figure out how. I've got heirloom tomatoes, broccoli, squash, lots of basil, and cinnamon basil, hot and sweet peppers, and trying some melon. The bed is 4'x8'. There's another one waiting for soil. I'm thinking that will be raspberries and strawberries.

I've read a lot about continually adding organic matter to the soil, but if you're digging around in there, don't the plants become uprooted? Do you just mix it in the soil between the plants?

Also, I just read a post about not watering the garden..somthing that has never occurred to me. Unless it's rained, I water daily.

Thanks! Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks for letting me show off my garden!
