Keep it up man, and love that kid with all your heart.
Well, I hope that he ends up making some different choices for his life, and develops a passion for something a little less dangerous than what I do, but yeah you are right. It's like he is a little clone! He is my whole world! I do agonize over the fact that at any given moment I could be out of his life because of what I choose to do, but at the same time, I hope that he learns to live his life while being true to himself, and standing firm behind his beliefs, which is the larger lesson that someday when he is older, I will hopefully have the chance to explain to him in more detail. That being said though, nothing is promised in life, and many many moms and dads that are L 7 squares, that don't so much as litter, end up not being able to be there due to chance. It's just life. I just try to make the most of my time with him and try to be a teacher, then parent, then buddy. I do love him with all my heart. Even if he grows up hating cannabis, and becomes a socialist leader, I will still love him, as long as he chooses to live his life honestly, and live by his beliefs.
Thanks for the kind words, you will become what you want to become as a parent!

Plus doing things with the kids is always a good time.

You know an easy way to catch worms is to mix dish soap with water and then pour it over the ground, they come right up.
I was going to use earthworms, and have russled them up that way before when I was younger. I read online though, the best worms to use for the farm are red wigglers, and after seeing them, I think they will be great bait too! They are smaller, not as thick, but they are much more lively. Very herky jerky fast movement. We'll see later this spring how much the fish like them.:jointsmile: I will likely throw in some earthworms as well just to see how they like the farm, hell it would be great if I could cultivate both! I don't know though, from what I have read, they prefer to dig down, where as the reds dig up, so I may end up w/ an earthworm holocaust in the bottom of my worm tea bin if that's true. And there is no way I am giving mouth to mouth to an earthworm he he, so if that happens they might not last too long. But it's worth a shot. Stay tuned guys, here pretty soon, when I put the how to thread together, I will post a link here. It looks like the farm will be built, and I will probably be waiting on the worms for a few weeks. I will post it all when it's all done though!:jointsmile:
