when is it too late?

im for NYC at the start of april and yet to get my ploy ploughed but when is it too late to plant our soft fruits? i know bare roots is a no go now, but ive read that containers are fine. am i mistaken in thinking they mean buying those in containers or by putting them into them after? i think ive confused myself!

 

sorry, new york city and ploy should be plot so im wondering if i shpuld get containers and plant them until ive it ready later

 

I've put bare rooted fruit bushes/trees in Morrison flower buckets loads of times when my plot has been waterlogged over winter/spring, but will they get watered when you're away?

Hope your weather's OK, we went to New York first week in April and the snow hadn't completely cleared, but turned into T shirt weather.

 

Cheers Scrungee, Ill attempt the same just to get them started while im gone. I should get someone to water them, hopefully!

It looks like the same weather were having here at the moment all be it slightly warmer during the days, nothing I cant cope!
