I planted a gooseberry bush yesterday but when I backfilled it I did not add any peat substitute with it Will that be okay if I just give it fertiliser the name is ribes uva-crispa

[mumofstig]

 ribes uva-crispa - is just the Latin name for gooseberry.

The plant should be fine without peat in the planting hole, just give a general fertiliser in Spring.

Thank you

It will be fine but it's rather too close to the rhubarb.

When they are both mature the will each take up a space of about a metre in diameter.

Yes, far to close to the rhubarb, I've it done myself before when planting small plants and you soon regret it as the rhubarb will just swamp the gooseberry with it's big leaves. I'd space them about 4-5 feet apart.

[Aunt Sally]

It will be fine to move it now

Rhubarb I had to move one this afternoon it was too close to the second  rhubarb will it be okay they signed once established don't move them it's only been in the grand nearly 2 weeks  thanks

[Yorkie]

Yes, should be fine.  Make sure you keep it well watered if it doesn't rain much.

[Aunt Sally]

It won't be established in two weeks, so it will be fine to move it
