The worms went through a tough winter as I was traveled a lot. But, they're back in strength and the several stories of compost and worms are producing a bumper crop of both soil/poop and baby worms. Amazing pets....they can stand neglect and still eagerly do their job eating the garbage I give them. I highly recommend worm composting.
And with the spring, finally time has come to plant flowers outside in my back yard. So, I jumped in with a passion and with a fair amount of worm compost. The first flowers were planted about 2 weeks ago and if their color, brilliance and growth are any indication, they love what the worms produce. Today, I planted a number of new flowers. There is something about getting hands into the soil that I love. Not sure where this comes from because even in the small town of my birth/upbringing, I seldom did any gardening. It was in Pennsylvania when my thumb became somewhat green. But, now I love it and look forward to the day when I can plant edible things again in Pennsylvania. Here are some photos from my planting today. Begonias, impatiens, and many more.
