I am in need for some good sound advice on purchasing blackberry, raspberry and strawberry plants.
I placed an order through Greenwood Nursery for 6 blackberry and 6 raspberry and 25 strawberry plants that will arrive some time in November.
I need someone to assure me that this purchase is wise and not foolish.
You see the money I am allotted from my husband ( I am a homemaker and don't have my own source of income) is only what he can spare after all bills are paid and therefore I need to be very frugal and wise with it.
Usually I spend almost every dime on getting preps. May I consider the purchase of these fruit plants as preps?
I did some price comparisons of our local nursery and some online nurseries and thought this company had some of the best prices.
The blackberry and raspberry plants come to 4.00 each. The strawberries are 10.00 for 25 plants. They do not charge shipping for orders over 50.00. So my total comes to about 53.00
That just sounds like so much money. I need for someone to either tell me I'm crazy and cancel my order, or else have someone reassure me that I'm not being foolish and wasting my money.
Besides these plants, I also would like blueberries but I read that you need 2 different varieties for proper pollination and they only offered 3 of one variety and you couldn't mix and match.
