Hoping for lots of tomatoes this year!

Had a lovely day today with a wander down to the beach  - although the sea mist meant you couldn't really see anything! And then wandered home for the first potting on of the season. I'd sown two varieties of tomatoes (Ildi and Moneymaker) in February and also a few chilli seeds (Razzamatazz) I had left from last year. It was the first time I'd used worm compost in my seed mix and I'm really happy with the results - all the chilli seeds germinated and lots of tomatoes, with no damping off issues. I was concerned that perhaps I may end up with a lot of rogue seeds germinating since the worms do nothing to kill off the seeds that have gone in from my veg scraps, however looking at the pots with chilli seedlings in there were no suspicious intruders so fingers crossed all the tomato plants are the type I'm expecting!

I was umming & ahhing about whether to keep the wormery - this has swayed me to keeping it ... so I better get some more worms since I managed to neglect the others :(    I also need to build a little shelter for it as when there is a downpour of rain (which is quite frequently here) enough water can get in through the ventilation holes to flood it a bit (the reason I have no worms left). There is a tap at the bottom to let the worm juice / water out but I've been a bit rubbish at draining it as often as is needed. Other than that the design of the wormery is really good. It has three separate trays which stack - so as I fill each one with kitchen waste and the worms do their job, I can add another tray. By the time I come to use the bottom tray full of worm compost / casts the worms have migrated up through the tray system so I don't need to sort them out from the compost.
