It happened again. I started this thread about two yeas ago after a long and frozen winter. Same story.
It got into the low 70s today. By noontime, I saw that the BG and LMB were schooling and sunning themselves just below the surface.
About two weeks ago, my worm bin was a solid frozen block of kitchen scraps. Today, the weather forecast was so incredible, I was forced to call in with a bad case of 24-hour lepomis fever.
Late this afternoon, I took a garden fork to the worm bin. I was again amazed to find a bin full of worms. I don't know how they survive being frozen solid for several months, but I'm sure glad they know how to do it.
