\u00a0And they have had a few snowfalls! \u00a0I figured that all the worms are probably dead in the compost tube. \u00a0But much to my surprise, upon cleaning up the dead plants in the pockets, found some of the herbs did come back, and there were worms galore. \u00a0Not only were those little wigglers not dead, but they were thriving in the soil as well as in the compost tube! \u00a0They must have hibernated! \u00a0Anyways, my grandkids helped me cleaned up the Tower, and we went out shopping for seedlings, and also planted a few seeds directly in the pockets. \u00a0Grandma&#8217;s job is accomplished. \u00a0There&#8217;s something about kids and worms. \u00a0They like petting them. \u00a0And if the Tower will do as good as they did last year (picture showing last June&#8217;s results), that would be a great success. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1026\" src=\"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3748-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3748-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3748.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1023\" src=\"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_0088-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_0088-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_0088.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this month, I made my usual trip up to Seattle to visit my daughter and her family, and taking the opportunity to do some gardening with my grandkids. \u00a0 \u00a0Much to my horror, found out that they did not do anything to protect their Garden Tower over the winter. \u00a0It was not covered at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1024,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-awesome","category-starting-the-new-season"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1028"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1028\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1029,"href":"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1028\/revisions\/1029"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
