Raspberries! Get a head start on next season ...
I have 100+ pots of raspberry plants to get rid of (plus some thornless blackberries)
I charge half of what the stores charge. The more you buy the better the deal.
These are fantastic fruiters (red raspberries - Heritage, Cluther & Lewis)
Happy to give advice re how to grow them and not have the roots spread.
Send me a message and we'll swap phone numbers.
