Are these the Ostergruss (or somesuch) ones? They're FAB!! And only abt 29p a packet? I discovered them about 4 yrs ago & they're the only ones I grow now...and a good tip someone on here told me...leave a couple to go to seed....the seed pods are TRULY delish 8)

I have some white Icicle from Lidl and have had better germination from them than any other radishes.  Hope they taste good!  The marigolds from Lidl were also great - germinated within about two days.
I hope to get more seeds from them next year.  This year the seeds all went very quickly.

they're the ones, alishka, great germination rate, deffo be buying more next year..good tip about the pods, I've heard about it but never tried it, will do this time  ;D

Yep - I am growing them in a large pot and as you say - they are lovely. I've already bought another packet ready for next year. I find they are much more convenient than the round ones and there is more radish for the same amount of space.

Yup, I grow them also.  A winner for this family.

All my seeds are the cheap varieties from lidl aldi wilkies netto and our local cheap shop. Unless I can get the seeds from source. Never pay more than 39p for a packet.

They have always provided me (and others because I get too many to use) with lots of excellent results and a complete variety for the whole year.

Allotment is now totally full and I am shouting at the winter onions to hurry up so that I can re-use the bed.

Seeds are certainly one thing where you do not get 'what you pay for'.

Knowing what you are doing is much more important.

I love my big radishes from lidl. LAst year I forgot to pick up any seed and the inly place I could find them was Suttons - who were not as reasonably priced!
A friend bought a pack of purple german winter radish for me sso I'm hoping they are as good, although I have stacked up on the ostergruss rosa from lidl this year!

Yum Yum :)
