Going on a worm hunt
We had a good rainstorm the night before and my wife was returning from a neighbors house and noticed a bunch of worms crossing the street. Since she knows me and our girls so well she grabbed a couple Ziploc bags and we proceeded to have a worm hunt. Our older daughter didn’t want to touch them that morning but I was really proud of my wife who procedded to help collect some worms. Lets just say she normally is not a worm person.
Just for some history, last fall my oldest daughter wanted to have pet worms, I opted to suggest making a worm bin instead. Since I am a cheap vegetable gardener I wasn’t about to spend $20 for a pound of red wrigglers (Eisenia fetida) we spent a few evening catching our own.
After the worm hunt ground has finally thawed so took my daughters out to help take care of some of the weeding in our front garden beds. My 3 year old even started singing a gardening song. I believe it went something like “We are gardening, we are gardening”
