Title: Aldi for fruit
Post by: Pickle on March 10, 2008, 12:25:19
  :) hi everybody .
This is my first post and I'd like to say hello to you all. I've just been into our local Aldi and picked up some Apple tree's at £11.99 and some soft fruit bushes at £3.99 for a pack of 3. They look like they'll need a bit of nurturing but I thought I'd got a deal. Your thoughts or comments please. But don't be to harsh!

    Pickle. ;D

i think the apple trees were £3.99 at our Aldis too. Get something done with your fruit bushes soon cos mine were sprouting in the packet

We have had a coupl of the tripple packs from Aldi all look in good condition the only problem with them is that we dont know which is which as they are not individualy labled. We have put them in large pots for the time being untill we decide where they are going.

I had some of 3 in a pack ones last year, and they had a tag on each plant.

I didn't get around to planting them, but put them in pots.

They have a lot of new growth coming on now.

I've defiantly had a bargain as I've bought four more apple tree's and a dozen of the soft fruit packs. I'll plant them in groups as to there leaves as none of them have any tags. :-\

Just need some better weather now so I can get them in, its a bit breezy and cold to be outside today.
