you've done it now ;D
how do they do the fruit bushes for that price?
-
I bought four well-formed potted fruit trees last year. They are all budding already, though there was a small amount of dead wood on the ends of some branches caused by the extreme cold. I don't expect any fruit this year.

Oh dear this could prove costly.
-

-
Tricia we planted our fruit trees the year before last & we had fruit last year. You never know.
-

Don't look Ethel.... but it was too late... ;D

All my Lidl/Aldi blackcurrants seem to have survived the winter, ditto the raspberries and gooseberries... It's possible that the cherry that I bought in November and put in a pot hasn't made it despite being sheltered, it did get awful cold though.... so I might be buying a couple of cherries.... or a cherry and something else.... but I love cherries .....
-
Just got back from Lidl, bearing my 'Red Haven' peach and it's worth reporting that it looks every bit as good as the 'Peregrine' one I bought from Blackmoor last year: Healthy-looking, well-shaped, still dormant and with an eventual height of 2 to 3 metres, according to the label.
All for £6.99! :)
I'll keep this one in a large pot, under cover for the winter and spray with Bordeaux mixture when I do the other one.
Do I need a second peach tree? Well, I certainly reckon I'll make good use of the fruits, when they come...probably end up buying a third freezer, though! ;D
Thank you to everyone who keeps us informed about the latest bargains - it really is appreciated.
:)

Thank you! been looking for cheapish rose arches,will be popping along later!
-
Aldi have lots in today, Just been to buy 4 lots of geranium cuttings, 15 for 1.99, all 180 of mine pegged it over winter :-\
still, these are a good mix and very healthy ;D
-
Yup I got 4 fruit bushes - red and black currants and a blackberry ;D Was hoping to get another blueberry but none in sight :(
Was eyeing up the rose arches but resisted temptation ........ for now......... ;)
-
Plenty of blueberries here, nowhere anywhere near with suitable soil. ??? Bought some rose bushes some are very short of roots. Would suggust a good feel or checking them out asap in the car park.
Did not see any arches or long handled tools. But bought a nice stainless steel onion hoe for 1.99 and mangos were very cheap and they now have low fat greek yohurts.
Got a couple of gooseberries they are actually named varieties. Hinnomaki Gul. though pity they are not red.
-
sounds like each store has something slightly different.
Also bought a mango, couldn't resist one :)
-
We bought three types of strawbs and a blackberry today, all look reasonably healthy. Also got some Asparagus; might not work, but at just over £1 it's got to be worth a try!
