Title: Got cheap seeds from Lidl ;-)
Post by: antipodes on March 04, 2008, 08:46:57
Last night I did a bit of shopping and lo and behold my local Lidl had just put out their seeds, so I had the pick of the lot :)
I got some Detroit beetroot, winter leeks, Charentais melon, some green courgette, early carrots, summer lettuce, some yellow wax beans and some green dwarf beans (Saxa variety I think - anyone tried those??) Beans are SO dear here, usually about 4 euros the pack so for 59 cents they were certainly a bargain!!! I also got some flower seeds but can't remember what they are just now (maybe sweet williams?)

So perhaps the UK branches are also selling theirs?
I had some success with Lidl seeds last year although such a rotten season, it is hard to tell. Their yellow dwarf beans were lovely, fast growing and tasty beans. So bought some more of those ;)

I got some seeds from Feltham Lidl last week.

Their 'biggest gardening event ever' started on monday,
but new items come in on thursday (6th march).

There is usually a big queue when they open and the popular stuff sells out quickly.

Their dwarf yellow beans last year were excellent, as were the long red radish (ostergruss rosa), just can't resist seeds for under 50 p! ;D
