I've been Money Tipped!
Woolis have lots of fruit trees and veg at the moment. Can anyone who's seen them recommend ones that could be grown in large pots?

    not sure got £50 for birthday from parents and got the wondow box herb kit they had in yesterday for £2.99 thinking about going back and getting some more plants and seeds we only have a small concreate yard so i'd have to stick everything in pots too, still have £47 to spend want to spend it all on fruit and veg plants, they had mini carrots that you could grow in pots, salads leaves and herbs dont need deep soil to grow in, not so sure about the trees even though i think they are small growing trees id be worried they would be a bit unstable in a pot, i lked the look of the cranberry plants- i adore cranberries- might buy a few and shove em in a pot see what happens.

    My daughter has had apple,cherry and hazelnut trees growing in plastic dustbins for about 5 years now and they are thriving. You can paint the bins or grow trailing plants in them. Plant pots the same size would be quite expensive to buy.

    Happy growing

    I bought a blueberry bush for 2.49 and it already had little buds on it so look out to make sure you can see them to ensure you are picking a good plany. The one I have is sprouting some more mow and should produce a lovely crop of a wonderful fruit and is grown in pots.
    Good luck with whatever you buy :)
