Hi Connie and all,
Growing little people is such a huge responsibility in life - and not all are lucky enough to be able to do so whether parent or teacher.
Still Connie, using earthworms to teach 'baby' gardeners is so great. When I was at school we didn't do gardening as they do today, more's the pity, and my introduction to earthworms was in our science class when we learnt about them by dissecting them, not live thank heavens.
I was never able to go fishing with my friends and family because I simply refused to be part of using live worms for bait. Sissy I was called then and sissy I remain.
Cheers now
