I couldn't believe what I was seeing........ Blackberry, gooseberry, raspberry ...... All priced up at 10p per box. Some boxes had three bushes in, the raspberry for example. Not canes mind you, proper bushes.
Granted the 'bushes' are very small but I am sure that if I give the roots a good soak and get them in the ground pronto they will be OK.
And got a 4 for the price of 3 as well! 10 boxes for 80p. Might not all grow but for 80p I am willing to take the chance.



title changed for clarity

Now that is a bargain!!!

[Yana]

Whoops meant 10p NOT 10pm.
I hate predictive typing!!

I've changed the title for you Yana

Sounds like the deal of the year already!  Shame we don't have a branch near us

I popped into homeb a few days ago they had reduced their boxes of twigs down to 49p but they'd been there months so I was concerned they would have dried out. My branch also sell potted fruit bushes but these are pricey and no reductions yet.

[Yana]

Don't look like twigs to me, I fact quite a few have new leaves on, so in they go tomorrow and see what happens

If it bare-root fruit, you have a reasonable chance of it still being OK.  It comes in leafless so looks fairly twig-like, but if the buds are bursting, its alive alright 

At 10 for 80p its worth a go.  Even if only half take, you've got a major bargain 

[Yana]

my thoughts exactly new shoot.

Yea I dont think my branch is very busy these have literally been on the shelves since november ive been keeping an eye on them were only a small town feels more like a village to me. might pop into Poole this weekend and see if there are any similar barginsin b&q or wilkos. I've got a lovely red gooseberry from wilko

[stuart curran]

when they fruit way the amount and see how much your 80p investment has produced compared to average super market prices 

[Yana]

I'll do that Stuart. I am sure that it will be worth it even if I get a dismal amount.

going to my local Homebase on the way to work tomorrow now  . Worth a chance !
