Ordering Plants with no space to plant them!

I've done it again. Just remembered I've ordered some new strawberry plants, a gooseberry and a new blackcurrant bush, and looking round the garden have no idea where they are going to fit.

Does anyone else do this?

I suppose I could chuck something out.

oh yes. :)

but then i think "i'll just put it in a pot... maybe i'll meet someone who needs a tomato seedlinf... or a strawberry... or a bit of thyme..." my fridge has a ziploc bag full of seeds. :*}

Dear Alia, now i think everyone has the box or bag full of over ordered seeds, they just seem such a good idea whilst looking through the catalouges on a dull and cold winters night. :)

Yes, guilty of doing the same thing myself. Ended up pulling out various shrubs in the front garden and planting the strawberries and soft fruit there.
There's something very seductive about all these fruit and veg catalogues which come through the door.
