Surprised

Just spent nearly 4Hrs down the plot,
bored today, decided to dig in the manure, spead on top a couple of
months back. Ready for me tats, surprised at how many
worms there were, o'kay expected a few, but ever forkfull!
2-3 or more, allowing the soil was still qite frozen,
'ole Robin was having a field day.
Was it the warmth of the pooh?....or just them there worms
were 'ungry? Sign of things to come?

Bye PAH

As long as soil isn't frozen solid, worms will be at work, and with the good feeding you gave them last fall, they're loving you.

Don't you just love those sticky worm kisses?

Would`ve said the worms my self if anything mate, in winter the food is scarce as all the worms stay under the soil to keep warm.

Thanks for the replies folks
It were chilly down there, butonceI got the motivation going,
it seemed to, well ! time went by very quickly,
some areas were a little solid others quite sticky,
all in all I felt a good burst from the 'ole badger,
maybe it were the new fork 'an spade that spurred me on

One of each, pressies from my two G'sons, 2 & 4yrs old,cos
they loves going down there with 'ole Grumps!!

Bye PAH....PS What have you's started ?
