Lingonberries

[burnie]

They're in my catologue,I saw Ray Mears chuck a few on a Trout he was cooking,but does anyone know of any other uses for them?Always like to grow something out of the ordinary and as they grow in Scandinavia I figure they'll be ok up here.

any tips on how you grow them,soil type etc.

I just planted them in any soil I had, they do tend to grow wild if you are not carefull. You do need to grow them against a fence or some sort of support.

I moved mine when we moved home, it was out of the ground for about 6 weeks, then just planted it it was fine! They are hardy beggars!
