Night crawlers a-plenty! Making babies, woo!

Today was very rainy and tonight while doing slug patrol, saw more night crawlers than I've ever seen in the yard!  Soooo cool!  Quite a few happy couples coupled up as well.  

Soooooo many earthworms!!!

Wow!  There were tons, tons, tons of worms, including baby worms, in the pile of soil where I had dumped the container soil last fall and where there were lots of leaves and on which I had piled the hollyhock stalks etc.   I was in that pile today to put some of the soil into containers and wow, soooooo many worms!  Way more than in other part of the garden where I was digging today.
