I picked up two bare rooted bushes today for a £1 each . they are showing buds but my ground is to wet to put them in ! am I best off heeling in,or planting in 10 inch pots in the poly tunnel ?

If the place where you'd heel them in is also waterlogged, then pots it is until they can be planted out properly.  Not sure whether the pots need to be in the polytunnel - they are hardy plants.

Otherwise, heel them in until the main planting area is no longer waterlogged.

Personally I would pot them up, but I'm sure most will say heel in!

I wouldnt bother putting them in the polytunnel though, current bushes are pretty hardy and the extra heat might just make it put on weak spindly green growth.
