[Mike.white]

Cool! Thanks for this - well worth a visit!!

(I've linked to it in the "Frugal Living" forum )

I bought raspberry, blackcurrant and reducurrant last week from "Poundland" for you guessed it £1!!!!!

[woodburner]

If we don't get to the shops quick enough, and they are already starting into growth will they be ok? (I'm thinking of Black currants and Raspberries in particular.)

[Knight Family]

right will be gettting them!!  should only need 1 of each bush I would have thought.

[Dominic]

So the 9th?

More the merrier in my opinion, need three black current (assuming they're thornless, got enough of my own thorny ones!!) and 6 raspberry canes, already got the others., well, have those as well, but need more.

[Zak the Rabbit]

my thinking as well

this week ive already spent £8 on a blackberry from Wyvale! it will all be part of my fruit and nut hedge.

The goal is to have softfruit as the understory, with pear/apple etc espaliers making up the height of the fence. Well, why have laylandii or privet when you can have fruit?

If anyone wants some rooting blackcurrant canes, I've loads I've pruned from my b'currant bush with shoots on 'em. Let me know where to meet you, I'll be very glad to pass them on. Also got loads of parsley & chives if anyone wants some, shame to waste them. Have already potted some up for the winter.

Incidentally, I got my original 1 from poundland and have had a good crop of currants every yr - 6-10lbs, with very little care given.  Have bought my mum gooseberry & raspberry bushes from poundland.

Going for the redcurrant, how far apart do I plant them.

Anyone know if they are thorney?

I want to put a row of thorney fruit bushes down the side of our allotment that backes onto public common and is a prime location for vandal break ins (due to the councils oh-so-effective single strip of barbed wire  :roll:

[naturesparadise]

hay thanks for the info i want some Blueberry bushes and they have them

that has saved me some cash

[theothermarg]

I bought blackberry bushes from Lidl back in the spring and they turned out to be very heavy cropping and delicious raspberries!! I am still picking them now, the foot high branches are loaded but they are def not blackberries :o

just got some blackberry and blackcurrant bushes from Lidl but they did not have blueberry which is a pity as i wanted one of those.  They had redcurrant and raspberry though.

Are they bushes or seeds?

If they are seeds I can see if I can get some at my Lidl and post them on.

[cawdor2001]

bushes, well foot long canes really with the roots in a bit of compost tied up in a plastic bag and put in a box
