I have been away for the last week. I left Sunday for the US and arrived back into Hong Kong today, Saturday morning. Today is my dad's birthday, so I called him and the kids sang him "Happy Birthday." After fiddling around on computers to get web cams working, the girls gave Granddad Doug a remote tour and complete tour of the flat via web cam. Sebastian and Jasper demonstrated their prowess with Speed Stacks.
Towards the end of our conversation the girls proudly appeared in front of me with a basket of small tomatoes! Turns out they have been growing them on the balcony. Wow, I was very impressed!

What gorgeous girls! Yellowknife loves Sela and Carys!!
I see two potential mini-gardeners who can come and garden with Auntie Pammie any time they wish!! Good work girls!!
I’ve been investigating the worm thing further and this is the information I was given:
Worm composting is fraught with difficulties, main one being that you’d need to use an exotic species, the Californian Red Wriggler to give it its common name, and this is listed as an invasive species. It isn’t true we can successfully contain these worms as they can escape via cocoons containing worm eggs and survive for long periods in difficult conditions. If they manage to breed in our country parks (close to our landfills where worm composting waste materials can end up) our native worms are endangered along with many species of native flora. I’m afraid our native worms just don’t cut the ice when it comes to vermicomposting, they’re too laid back!
