fruit bushes

i have bought 2 fruit bushes(rasberry and gooseberry) that say to plant out Jan to march


is it too cold -1 right now

should i pot them for and leave them in the utility room or put them straight out ?

 

You'll probably find the ground is frozen now, just keep em somewhere sheltered till this cold snap passes. Make sure the roots don't dry out.

 

I've got a load of youngsters out the back, all in buckets of compost. They are, blueberry, currants, loganberry and goosegogs. The only reason I didn't put them straight in the ground is because I haven't decided on their final position yet. Interestingly the expensive ones, which also happen to have been planted the longest, aren't do much yet, but the cheapo goosegogs from Wilkos have got brand new green leaves starting to open now.

 

i have a cover over the ground so i could dig it ...

have given them a soak but left them in the wrap bags in a bucket in utility for now

thanks Zig x

 

thanks clueless i will pot em up tomorrow until they go in the ground
dont really want to leave in the wraps to long
