Hi i have a border in the garden that is about 2ft long, i have planted a blackberry plant in this on one side. How do i stop the plant from getting too big, also will there be room for me to plant a couple of plants that flower. Im still learning about gardening and am wanting to make the garden look nice.

Also i got a chilli seed kit today, when is it ok to put it outside.

How often should the blackberry plant be watered and the chilli plant. I have planted some other chilli seeds in a pot which is inside on the kitchen window still.

Also do seeds need chiting if they are going to be grown in a pot?

That is big enough for the root but the branches can go on for ever!

Then if you cut it to keep it in check you get propotionally less fruit!

Regarding growing flowers in front of them Huh doubtful!!

What did you have in mind?

You will have to start them off indoors in a reasonably high temperature, I think it would be impossible in the UK to germinate them outdoors.

I never water mine I leave that to mother nature, but thats not to say you can't help her along during very hot dry spells ( what's them I here you ask!  Roll Eyes)

The only way I can germinate peppers is to put them on top of the hot water tank. If I put them underneath with the toms, they just sit and sulk.
