I'm in the UK, (so not very sunny!), and would like to know how best to care for the new plantlife that I've started. I don't have a garden, only have a few plantpots and some baby-bio plant-food,.. if you have any sound advice on how best to make sure I can keep them alive, strong and so that they can produce fruit, it'd be appreciated, thanks!

i have grown kiwi from seed, its quite simple just treat them like any other plant, as they get bigger and they do ( mine grew to about 6 feet) they like to twirl themselves around a cane, feed them regularly and watch. the leaves will fall off in autumn and you think its dead, its not, water occasionally through the winter. you wont get fruit for quite a few years, they have to be mature, i had my plants for three years and still didnt get any fruit, have fun

Make sure there is fresh air, and they are in view of the sun and don't come into contact with coldness/frost/ice. You might try a heating mat under them to keep them warm and water them from the bottom (under them let the water soak in underneath to the root).
When they get to about 2 or 3 inches tall they will be a lot easier to maintain.
