Blueberry at Aldi...........

[Snadger]

Just like to say I impulsively purchased a potted Blueberry in Aldi today for £2.99.

I've always fancied a blueberry and these potted plants look really strong and are full of bud.
I intend planting it in a large pot in ericaceaus compost and probably keeping it in the greenhouse throughout the winter and early spring.

Real value for money from what I can see!

Stop it Snadge!! Sounds a bargain - I might just have to...............

You'll have to net it unless you just want to use it as a rather impressive bird feeder!

I don't know how big they grow but I thought I might keep it in the greenhouse for the first year? I know they are grown mainly in USA so thought my greenhouse temp may be closer to America's than 'down town Geordieland' outdoors

Have you grown them Hazel?

[Hazel at the Hill]

Yep - and I'd like to say that I've enjoyed the fruit, but refer you to me previous comment...

Good price, I might have to find a local one. I have 3 blueberries, with with "pink" blueberries on the way - my kids eat them like sweets so am always looking out for more on offer

Squirrels and woodpigeons ae in abundance at our site!

Having looked at the piccies they don't seem to grow mahoosive so by growing it in a large pot indoors I could possibly save my blueberry crop!
