So far, only the one is open, and it’s beautiful. Worm castings are magic stuff. Frank noticed today that the pond heater seems to be doing the trick. There’s a little hole in the ice and snow right where the heater is. I wonder how cold it can get and when the heater won’t be able to keep up? So far so good, though.
