I have never grown fruit before (or much of anything come to think of it!) so I'm pretty chuffed with my small collection. What did I pay for this array of fruity treats?....£8.94!! Bobby bargains don't come much bobbier! Just need to wait a couple of years for my first berries....

Hi Chris. I too am new to both the gardening world and also blogging!! The garden centres at the moment have loads of special offers on - I got a decent sized blackcurrant bush for £2.50. Just be careful with supermarket plants - I planted a few last year and they were a bit pittiful - make sure theres enough manure and things in the soil, and you'll be eating fresh fruit and crem ll summer! keep up the effort - I'm beginning to see its relly worth it once you get going. catx
Lidl rocks. Also Instore, if you have one of those near you.
Fruit trees are the best invention ever! Plant em, eat fruit. Why arent all the city streets lined with fruit trees, free fruit for all (I know, Iknow)!

I planted 3 Blackberries last year and will have my first crop of fresh blackberries in about a month. Can't wait. I planted them to make Blackberry Jam.

Hope you are feeling better after your hospital stay!
