surferdog Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Lidl have just got in their new seed packets. 47p for a large pack and 28p for a small pack. Lots of unusual varieties too. I got Sugar Snap peas, Black Salsify, White radishes, silverskin onions and red splashed lettuce seeds all for about £1.50. I can also recommend the yellow french beans and yellow patty squash which I grew last year in pots and will grow again this year from last year's leftover seed. Only downside is the cultivating instructions aren't great (although you can use a good veggie book to get instructions) and they aren't organic but even so a bargain!

Saronne Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I totally agree! I've bought seeds from Lidl before and they're a definite bargain . Germination has been very good and there is usually an interesting selection to choose from. Like you, I bought the yellow wax beans and the patty pan squash. I also bought their Hybrid cucumbers - can't remember the name, but they're small and I grow them outdoors at the allotment. They've always done really well and the only sort that seem to do well for me! Saronne Paris Nicole Dorothy Germaine Jordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surferdog Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Poet, I got mine from http://www.moreveg.co.uk/. They do a squash surprise packet of six mixed seeds for 90p. Most of their packets are 50p for smaller quantities of seed, so you can get a good selection or try things you've not grown before for minimum expense. They also have some really unusual varieties and lots of organic seeds. Just handle with care - I always seem to justify a larger order than planned by making it up to the free p&p point. And the fact that they take Paypal, so if you sell on ebay they are practically free! It would be rude not to buy....
