Brought two packs 29p each
Tomato Harzfeuer F1
Tomato Hildares F1
anyone grown them before? as instuctions are in foreign!
cheers
Ive bought lots of seed from Lidl, they usually have directions in 4 different languages. Im surprised the toms dont have the same.
I havent grown their tomatoes, but I guess the method will be the same as for any other ;)
Also brought some melon seed too, look real good value for money.
I think I'll get some squash, I think I saw Jack be Little in there. Got some yellow beans last week, they should look good with purple podded beans and sweet peas ;D
yes i got the yellow beans, brittle wax and some gherkins and cucumber konsa and marrow di nizza, bit of a stab in the dark when you never grown some varietys though!!
I still have the gherkin seeds from last year, they were really good. Only I put in too many of my own chillis when I pickled them..........................BOOOM :o
Wasn't funny, I had to eat a WHOLE tub of Ben & Jerrys to stop my tongue sizzlin' 8) :-\
oh well thats great they grew well, did you grow them outdoors and what size did you harvest them?
Yes they were outside, they are quite hardy after the frosts have finished. I harvested when they were about 5"- 6". They were also nice in salads which I was surprised about ;)
well ill look forward to growing those then!! greenhouse is totally bulging with stuff now! still a bit cold to start, getting fed up with waiting for warmer weather.
I have packets of both Harzfeuer and Hildares in front of me - pictorial instructions are given at the top of the packets and information in four languages beneath the pictures. My packets are dated 2008, best before 12/2010.
I've grown Harzfeuer for several years - Good cropper. I am trying Hildares for the first time but having difficulty getting the seeds to germinate for some reason. Anybody else having problems with Hildares?
Tricia
I got quite a few Lidl seeds, couldn't resist for that price.
SO far so good, I am growing Harzfeuer, it's a medium sizer, I sowed it 2 weeks ago and it is going great guns indoors.
Their yellow beans are very good, beautiful flavour, I highly recommend, and so far the Lidl leek seeds and lettuce are germinating correctly.
I did have some of theirs last year but the season was so bad here I wouldn't like to use it as a reference in regards to germination and yield, most of what I planted either failed or rotted, I will make up my mind after this season.
