      Mine are on the way as well. As these are T&M plug plants they'll most likely fit through the letter box.

          I've received the fuchsia berries from T&M that VC made me buy but I don't like the look of the leaf on one of them. A quick Google and the closest thing I can see is fuchsia rust but it doesn't look quite the same as the pictures. Or I could just be overreacting and it's just a dead leaf, what do you think?



          Sorry about the small pic but I'm posting from an iPad and I don't know a way around the problem.

                    Mine have just arrived no actually look not too bad. Looking for advice though. Can these go straight outside and should they be planted in small pots first and gradually moved to bigger pots until in their final place?

                      I'v potted mine into small pots and they've picked up already. I think they're too small to go out - they'd get lost in the undergrowth here!

                            Hey hey mine arrived today.

                            Potted them up into small pots in the gh. As the trailing fuchsias I already have are destined for the fence I reckon that these will go well down the middle of one of my paths - it's 6 foot wide which is 1 foot wider than the widest bed.

                            Not sure if I'll stick em in the ground or keep them in pots so I can take them into the gh in winter. Would they be ok in MFBs?

                              Do we know what sort of fuchsia they are - i'm guessing pretty ordinary? Mine will be staying out over winter. Not sure how I'll be planting them yet - in a block, line a path, scattered?

                                Info about fuchsia berries

                                Can anyone who has grown the T&M fuchsia berries tell me what the taste and texture are like? They are on offer for £1.99 for 10 plugs and I wondered why they are selling them so cheaply.
