Hi All,
After a six year hiatus following a house move, I'm finally returning to GYO and will be getting an allotment on a new site. Unfortunately, having been told the allotments would be ready for autumn, we've been advised that we're unlikely to take possession until into the new year, and maybe early spring.
The problem is I've already ordered some raspberry canes, as their one of my favourites and I was determined to get some soft fruit in my first year. I've now no plot to plant them in. I've not a lot of room in my back garden, but I was thinking there's three options:
1. Give the canes away to someone who has room now. (Not ideal and I definitely lose a growing season, not to mention the cost)
2. Heel the canes into my back garden and hope for the best on transplanting when the plot's eventually ready.
3. Pot up the canes individually and then plant when the plot is available.
Was just wondering what the views of people here were?
Thanks,
Seniab
