As long as you're feeding in the water, it sounds great!! How do you keep that mix from floating all around the tank though?

On the diet, I'd suggest cutting way back on veggies that contain sugar - like the carrots and tomatoes. Instead, she can have lots of green leafy lettuce and, of course, the aquatic plants. And, like it said in the thread above, foods containing vitamin e will help with the shedding. Here's a list, but these are NOT things that a healthy turtle should have every day - a few servings a week are plenty - as these veggies also contain sugar.

Tomato
Sweet potato
Turnip greens
Blueberries
Apple skin

The key in everything is moderation!

I put the mix on the deck but they make the mees anyway, so I decided to feed them in deferent tank or hand feed them. And about the aq. plants, I plan to make a tank with gupies and some of the plants so I won't have to buy every week new plants and gupies.
P.S. SpotsMama thanks for the list :)

THAT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF FOOD MAYBE LIKE 3 DAYS WORTH I SEE ALOT OF FOOD THAT MAYBE SHOULD ONLY BE GIVEN EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THEY HAVE A PAGE THAT SHOWS ALL THE VEGIES THAT SHOULD BE GIVEN DAILY AND OTHERS ONLY ONCE A WEEK AND OTHERS JUST TO ADD . I THINK I SEE ICEBERG LETTUCE AND TOMATO AND CARROT WHICH ARE ALL ON THE SOMETIMES LIST.. THAT LIST ROCKS YOU SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT
