I was given three cranberry plants for Christmas. Being a complete beginner,
I'm not sure when to plant them out and in what. I have two large planters
filled with compost and some rotted down manure and an area I've dug in our
clay soil. Is either suitable and is it OK to plant them out now with the
current frosts. I assume they'll spread out and will need plenty of water.
Would I need to invest in a few cloches? So many questions, but I'm really
keen to make these grow successfully (since they were a gift)!

I'm located in South Warwickshire and the garden faces East.

Thanks in advance.

He's predictable, but that's to be expected.
