Default Soft Fruit packs

This my first posting, even though I have kept an eye on the forum for a while now. Apologies if I make any mistakes along the way. But I wanted to let you know that my local Aldi store here in Leicester, are selling Soft fruit triple packs for £1.99.
What a fruity bunch – four different variety packs, each containing three soft fruits, root-balled into green root bags with moist peat.
Varieties: Raspberry, Blackberry, Tayberry, Gooseberry, Redcurrant, Blackcurrant.

And next week they will be selling fruit trees for £3.99.

Welcome to the Vine, Miss Sunshine - funny you should say about Aldi at this very moment, as I'm just about to walk up the road to see if our local Aldi has any in stock.....

Hi and welcome to the vine. What combinations are they sold in or are they groups of three the same? We only just got an Aldi (it opened last week) and I haven't been there yet!

Look forward to hearing about your grow your own experiences!

Right, I'm back now - I bought two packs and they seemed to have three combinations
blackberry/tayberry/raspberry
blackcurrant/redcurrant/rasperry
blackcurrant/redcurrant/gooseberry

They're sold such that you can see the plants, so I practically got in the bin where they were all piled up to sort out which ones I wanted!

That's another job for the weekend!

Go for it, excellent value even if not named varieties. My only whinge is that our local stores aren't stocking them.

Perth Branch did not have them in today but they did phone to say they will be in in the morning.. Now as schools are off I will need to drag the kids with me. I am sure I can bribe them with something so there are no moans.

Oh and Hi Miss Sunshine, as you can see I am very new to the vine also.

Thank for the warm welcome, it was great to watch and read your responses to my first post. Next thing is to find somewhere to plant all these soft fruits.
