April 26, 2011A.Dig them up and move them. Also dead head the blooms to prevent seeds from falling and starting new plants. Or you can take a small paint brush and "paint" roundup on the ones that you wish to illiminate. Good luck!!

April 18, 2011Q.Growing Chives Indoors From Seeds
Do I spread the seeds around the flower pot or put them in all together in one spot? What size flower pot do I need? What is the minimum number of seeds I should plant in a flower pot? This is a first for me and I'd like it to be right.
