I sure hope your right that Spring is coming soon. I heard of the watermelon radishes a year or two ago, but have yet to try them. Last year, cabbage worms ate the several I had planted, but they will not get them this year.
I have heard of the vermicomposting and how it can make "black gold" for plants to grow in, but I have not taken the dive into getting that going. Maybe I can get it started this summer. Thanks
