Do you remember that rhyme "sitting in the garden eating worms, yum, yum?" Anyway, I spent half an hour shaking the daylights (and worms) out of my sod from the pool bed. It's just amazing how some plants survived being buried under 12" of heavy soil/sod.

Anyway, most of the bad stuff died and in a few days I should be able to get planting. I will take pics. Would have worked longer but the Canucks were playing at 6pm so had to go in. I'm going to phone and see if they will schedule their games just a bit later - not everyone has gardeners, you know! Oh, man, I wish I had that many! Worms, not gardeners.
