at some point in the next two weeks, lidl is getting their 99p fruit bushes in, lost the leaflet (as opposed to the plot ) so's I can't remember the date ;D
Thanks for the reminder ;D
I will keep my eyes open, have to go there very soon anyway ;)
Sign up for their weekly news letters. If I see something I particularly need I set a reminder on my computer calendar :)
found it, saturday, 27th october, 99p, blackberry, blueberry, gooseberry, raspberry and many more ;D
also, if you want to take a chance on size, conference pears, cox's orange pippin, stella cherry, victoria plum and many more, 3.99 :)
Know which rasps manics?
its in the diary :)
sorry, ollie, just says raspberries :)
Just a reminder - 99p fruit bushes and £3.99 fruit trees on sale tomorrow. See you all there at 8am then!!
Not apparently in their Northampton store.
What did you get folks? We bought 2 Gooseberry and 4 trees, 1 Stella Cherry, 1 Victoria Plum, 1 Opal Plum and 1 Comice Pear. Not too sure about pollination groups, but there are loads of fruit trees on our site so I'm sure we'll be OK. All the plants looked healthy, except the Blueberries, but I suppose at 99p they might be worth a go. We got 4 from Tesco a few weeks ago, on offer at 2 for £10.
I was hoping for an apricot, but they didn't have any, so I just bought one more gooseberry plant to fill a small gap in Gordon's garden 8).
Tricia
Went in first thing yesterday, picked out several blueberry, red currant, a plum tree and a shrub. Got to the counter to be told they do not accept credit card which was all I had grabbed in my rush to get there!!! Had to put everything back. Couldn't get back until today and gues what???? the one thing I wanted was the Blueberry and yep you've guessed it ----- they had sold out of them, plenty of gooseberry and blackberries left but not one blueberry - not a happy bunny :'( :'( :'(
don - Try Tesco, in ours they were 2 for £10, much nicer looking than the Lidl ones, and as they have a 'sell by' date on them, you might be able to pick them up when they are reduced - we did ;)

Gosh i would have asked them to keep the plants to one side for me....
not made it to my lidl yet will try tomorrow.
lidl near me has only apple and pear trees left :( not made it today so i am going to head there first thing tomorrow and see what they have left :(
Going to sulk now!
I'm so pleased, I have managed to get a crab apple and a cooking apple tree. Tempted by the others, but am getting a plum tree for Xmas, so had to exercise some restraint. No blueberries left tho.
