Wanna See My Huge...

worm?

Sure you do:



There it is, between my cones, hiding in the raspberry bed.  I call him Julian.    In fact, you can only see half of Julian; the other half is in the warm and wet hole, hiding away from the flash.  Each of my cones is almost 10cm long (and I am being modest here). If you are as good in math, it shouldn't take you long to figure out that Julian is over 40cm long in non-stretched state.

Each worm consumes his weight's worth of food every day.  The same amount comes out from the other end, only fertilized so that my raspberries can grow big and juicy.  Don't you just wish every Julian was as useful?

Oh man... you should start growing them for food. As for that other
Julian: it was a cruel punishment, to get his mug in my face without
warning. You must add some word of caution before springing such stuff
on people.

Yeah, I know... Can you be any more slimy? And I am not talking about the worm.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

He. The man practically invented slime single-handed.

You do know if you cut a worm in half you will get 2 worms. You could grow enough worms to fertilize your whole garden.

I know that's what people say, but it's not actually true. I mean... You'll get two halves alright, but chances are that neither half will be alive. In the best case one half may survive. I wouldn't recommend it.
