Gooseberries arrived today. Can I leave them in the packaging outside until Saturday?

Or will they die?

It's not long, should be fine, but I'd probably take them out anyway & just heel them in somewhere.

I'll move this to GYO.

Stick them in a bucket of water on friday if you're going to plant them on Saturday

So you think it is safe? Actually they are only going to pots because I have not got the planting site clear yet - it will be cleared during Feb.

Bung them in the shed if it's going to freeze.

Just to check I don't need to unpack them and put them in soil at 9.30 pm tonight?
