They are all over my lawn and garden. Not time to harvest just yet though.

Finally got my worm boxes ready - just need a couple good picking nights now !!

I probably shouldn't have done it, but I went out back to check my leaf beds under cardboard that I made, out back, last fall. Wow, I am going to have the best Red Worms for stream trout this spring. Sweet!

hahaha - awesome !  I just turned my mulch pile and saw similar results - everything seems to have over wintered fine.  This is the first year in a long time that the pile isn't still frozen solid this time of year.

Filled my worm box this morning. The roads and parking area at the park where I walk was loaded with crawlers. I'm set for quite a while.

After 60+ years of picking night crawlers I've finally found the perfect tool for picking them up off the road. My 12" long chef's tweezers. They worked perfectly.
