BIG MAMA!


M. was turning our compost and look what turned up! Okay, left is a big garden fork, but look at the lady on the right, of course I uncovered the soil and here is a nude picture of her below! We felt like we found a treasure when we saw this humongous worm, I would say it was half an inch thick, and maybe 10 inches long... anyways it was a beauty, M. calls her "Big Mama" ;)
We then covered her with soil again and left more yummy compost nearby, hope she is happy... It is really amazing how our soil has changed since we got the garden. At first the soil was dead, just small rocks, thousands of them, as they used our area for the highway construction... right now the soil is alive again... and so many treasures are hidden!
