Default Seeds germinating in worm farm & bacterial spot disease

Just started a worm farm last week... to my surprise, lots of seeds are germinating in the farm. Possibly pumpkin? I would like to try and transplant them and wondered if anyone had any tips...

I just transplanted 4 into seedling pots into compost... I wish now I'd put more of the worm castings into it, but I was reluctant to take too much out of such a new farm.

Any tips?

My other question :( i had 6 capsicum plants.. wel one of them got brown spots and seemed to wither, and i pulled it out.. unfortunately it seems to have slowly spread... the 2 closest to that one are hopeless and 3 further away seem to be holding on (producing lots of capsicum). Some googling revealed this to be bacterial spot disease, I have cut off all the affected leaves... I'm just wondering what the chances are of the plants battling/ recovering from this?

Note - pretty sure I spread it from the first plant by sideways watering... bacteria must have got into the droplets and then hit other plants, as that's the direction it's travelled in.

Hmmm, no tips, we had the same issue with seeds but one I took them out we didn't get any others.

Hope your pumpkins grow though!
