help with blackcurrant and raspberry bushes
« on: March 05, 2013, 17:06 »
Hi Every one.

I recently bought 15 raspberry and 6 black currant bushes, they arrived last Friday but due to family circumstances I couldnt collect them from the post office until yesterday, so I have them all having a big drink in buckets in a cool room.  I was going to plant them out this morning but it was very frosty.

If its frost again for the next few days, how long will they be safe in the buckets.  Some them have lovely shoots and I dont want to loose them.

Many thanks for any advice
Julie

The frosts we're getting at the moment won't worry them. Get them in if you can.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I put mine in this morning, as DD says they will be fine.
