I've had good results from Lidl seeds this year, at 15p per packet it's worth a go!

I'm thinking that with the major seed companies you are perhaps paying for the name?  ::)

I agree Lauren - the big co's must have marketing budgets to pay for etc  ::)

We bought various seeds from Lidl earlier this year and I must admit i didn't hold out a lot of hope, but at approx 35p ish per packet they were excellent.  Will defo buy again  ;D

I had excellent results with the spinach and yellow french beans seeds I bought last year from lidl. All these seeds are well in date (for between 1-3 years). I think at 15p it is bargin, even if the germinate was not great you are still likely to be saving!

 I fully recomend the yellow french bean seeds. I had that many this year struggled to keep up picking them and gave a load away. Also lidl sell some varietys I have not seen anywhere else .

I think I'm going to try Lidl's parsnip seed. I bought 4 packets from T&M and not one germinated  :'(
