Hi All,
I can't get my blackberry seeds to grow anywhere, except this
one little sprouting pot.

Question: are these sprouts really blackberries, or has I
been nurturing a bunch of WEEDS?
If they are black berries, how soon do I transplant them?Â* They
still look pretty fragile.
Many thanks,

Â* Those ain't blackberries ... ours here (wild , but should hold true)
have squared stems and the leaves are more heart-shaped with sawtooth
edges . You'd probably be better off buying a plant from a local nursery
, they do spread readily . A fruit farm near here grows them , they hold
them between a pair of wires , trim the new growth each year to just
above the wires , and relentlessly clip suckers and dead canes . If
those weren't a patented variety I'd have brought some shoots home from
the pruning class we had there ... berries bigger than your thumb and no
thorns .
That picture is likely of purslane.
BUGGER !!!!
At least Purslane is edible.
