Jut got back from poundland. Bought a couple of mock orange....but no anemones....another favourite...they didn't have them at mine. I did get a honeysuckle. we'll see how they go and if they are good then next year I will go back because its a very cheap way to buy some things

I went again today and picked up some gladioli bulbs, 2 bush roses and a paeony. Oh and a dibber. Very good value in there. I can't wait to get them in the ground

can I plant now?

Sorry I have been away.
I would keep them cool in a shed if possibe. If not possibly plant in Pots! I usually plant in March/April but I am still a novice. Last year I had late potatoes and didnt plant any until quite late on, think it was July time.EEK

They have raspberries in at ours - but surely the ground is still too solid?

Our ground is defrosted to plant but I think raspberries should have gone in in autumn. It would be worth a try IMO for £1 if you could get them in quickly and have room for some other named varieties should these not be great.

not got my allotment yet though - so they'd have to be heeled in somewhere.

They didn't have gooseberry bushes yet - def want some of them.

If it were me, and I have no idea if this is good advice, and I had raspberries but no where to put them yet I'd pot them up so they could live and then move with little root disturbance when I had a space.

I DO have currants in exactly this situation!

A new Poundland has just opened near us, so I'll definitely go and take a look, thanks OP.

I did notice the seed potatoes had got a lot less in them than they did last year.

Strange - I got 8 in each of mine.
