    I want to grow more fruit next year. We have sorted out the back garden and decided containers are the way to go, so what fruit can I grow in them apart from strawbs ? My strawbs are lovely and sending out baby shoots which I'm sticking into tubs as fast as I can :)

    What about Blueberries, some varieties like being in pots, have a hunt around tho, see if you can find a bargain!

    I would also recommend that you don't grow anything that you won't eat.

    Hope this Helps!

    Hi Ming
    My back garden floods badly so i have covered it with stone chippings,
    so all my fruit and veg are container grown ,down the run of my fence, i have ,red currants ,blackcurrants, blackberries, gooseberries, raspberries, loganberries,and all my herbs.
    i am looking out for a blueberry ,
    i have started some rhubarb off but not out in the main run yet, i have my strawberries in hanging baskets ,
    and i have an apple and a pear tree ,but they are in dry parts of the ground
    so really whatever you like you can grow them
