Here is eastern Mass, I'm finding plenty of earthworms.  Possibly not  
as many as in some other years, but possibly I just haven't been  
planting much.  There's something about the rhythm of sticking my  
trowel into the sod that seems to pull worms out of the soil, but I  
haven't planted bulbs recently.  At any rate, as I pulled out weeds  
this evening I pulled up several worms, as well.
