Thanks! Good job I have an aldi 2 mins from my house.

Yeah thanks VC, been on the lookout for cheap blackberry bushes. Also noticed that The Factory Shop have fruit bushes in now, my local had raspberry, blackcurrant, blueberry and gooseberry. Approx £2.49 or 2 for £4. Had to resist buying any of them as I've got more than 1 of each and rapidly running out of room.

(fingers in ears)

la la la la

I'm not listening

[Jay-ell]

Darn it - I listened.

As it happens that I was at work today today till 2.30 right next to aldi I popped in. There weren't any bushes there - darn it they'd all been snapped up.

But I asked and the staff hadn't put them out yet., thinking that they were for another day. Whoopi an entire crate of bushes.

I did manage to show restraint and resisted buying the whole lot

Ah well another plot redesign coming up.

I knew you'd weaken
Do you know what named varieties they had? Aldi is a good way from me - so I need to know whether its worth the journey

Gooseberry Hinnomaki red
Blackberry thornless evergreen
Raspberry Tulameen
Blackcurrant Ben Nevis
Redcurrant Jonkheer van Tets

Each pack contains 3 of the same plants so it is not mix and match

Nice, very nice..................
Where did I put my car keys?

I am starting to hate Aldi, I only wanted some broccoli for the rabbits....

Now I have a pack of each of them to plant and no broccoli as they had run out of what I went in for

[Jay-ell]

I bought two raspberries, two goosberries and one each of the rest. So that's 21 bushes to find space for.

Now, where would 14 fruit trees go?
