Moving soft fruits
« on: October 30, 2013, 16:01 »
Afternoon all,
I want to move some gooseberries, blackcurrants, blueberries and rhubarb to new spots with more room.
Is it too early?
Should I wait a bit or move them while the ground is still soft?

Thanks

I think it's a bit early - they're not yet dormant.

I agree with Yorkie - wait until leaf drop.

Yep, wait for the leaves to fall.
