My sister gave me a cranberry bush last year, seems to be doing nicely in its pot. Goji berries haven't germinated yet.

That's not too bad - I'm still waiting for my strawberry plants - more than 3 weeks now! Half of the order arrived (the bulbs), so there is hope

it took a while for my thing to arrive, If buy from a postal service (like Thompson and morgan and suttons) they try to send out when weather is to say good not to cold not to hot for items so they don't dye in post before they get to you.
we are due a realy cold snap at the moment.

Not on Friday I hope - don't fancy you and me freezing to death outside planting these tiny seedlings!

the plants arrived on sat, so i've put them into large pots and will be keeping them in the greenhouse for a month or so, then once they are looking a bt bigger, i'll move them out.

i know they are hardy, but thought i'd give them an easy start in life!!

The ones I bought and planted outdoors last year aren't doing very well. They've hardly grown, one looks pretty dead. I'm considering potting the remaining 2 as well, they might do better in a container...

So, planted my 3 goji plants in pots in the greenhouse about a month ago - they are coming along very nicely, been a fair bit of growth and looking very green and healthy.

they are only 1 year old plants just now, so i'm not expecting any fruit this year.

think i'll move the pots out of the greenhouse as soon as these showers stop, give them a summer outside and then i'll move them back into the greenhouse over winter before moving into a permanent spot in the garden next feb/march

My seedlings are coming along fine too - guess I'll be a year or two behind you folk with ready made plants but if these grow from an ordinary packet from the supermarket then I may try something else. Any ideas?
