If buying bare rooted plants, then I'd suggest the usual late oct/nov, the
same time as you'd do bare roots soft fruit bushes and fruit trees. If you
are tranplanting runners from exisiting plants then as long as you get
enough soil and the roots aren't going to be too disturbed, then any time
after fruiting.

Right, that's good. This plot has nothing on it at the moment (well,
it has bramble, bindweed and dock - nothing that I want to keep!) so a
month will give me enough time to buy in the new plants and sort out the
ground first.

Thanks for all the answers!
