i have 6 plants that need planting into the ground or into pots.....i have a rasperry, green gooseberry, red gooseberry, 2 red currants and a blackcurrent....
my intention is to plant them into plant pots with a view to putting them into a wooden planter or similar....do i need to keep them inside for a while ? (i havent got a greenhouse - although one of the cheap plastic ones is on my list ;) but was gonna put them on a windowsill ) if i plant them in the ground where is the best place to plant ? will they come back year after year ? do they need a trellis ?
this is my first year planting anything other than my summer pots :o so any help is much appreciated :)

What are the gooseberry varieties ? If they are susceptible to mildew - this might help.
