Title: cheap seeds
Post by: hesperis2000 on February 23, 2005, 14:45:20
 I dont know if there are 'lidl' supermarkets south of the border with Scotland bit they have pretty decent seeds. it is a German parent company, varieties like red cabbage 'Schwarzkopf 2' - dont seem to be otherwise available here.
I grew their Parsley, nasturtiums, Swiss Chard(Lucullus) and more last year with good results. Most seeds are 39p ranging to the princely sum of 59p for F1 hybrid veg- not bad :)

There are Lidl's all over UK, Hesperis, you get some good bargains there, we have three in Dundee, I went into the opne in the town centre, but I couldn't find any seeds there. I'll try the one in Strathmartine road next  :)

Those Netto seed prices are cool  :o

Lidls have some very interesting offers coming up eg stainless steel and ash spade or fork for £7.99 and cloches and tunnels.  If you have one nearby, it is very worth checking out.
