Post by: poderosa on February 26, 2007, 18:38:02

Sounds a bargain but no Nettos in this part of the world.  :'(

Got some "Giant Sunflower" seed @19p, opened the packet and there are at least 40 seeds in it.
They do however appear to be of several different types, some being grayish, some striped, and some nearly black.
We shall see what comes of them in due course no doubt, but at that price, "am I boverred, do I look boverred"?

Plus a host of flowers and other veg.

On cheap seeds, the Yellow Waxhorn from Lidl (49p I think) are really good flavour - they are recommended in my (very old) Dr Hessayon Vegetable Expert
