Don't think they are in till 28th.

Ok thanks I should have read all the post. Obviously got too excited at the thought of more bargains.

I think I'll wait til the 28th then.

Check out Wilkos or Nettos....if it is not out of your way. Don't buy kiwis from wilkos though, sore point for some I think........rolleyes:

Our Lidl, (we don't have a Netto or Aldi) tends to sell plants when they get delivered.

I will be checking out mine on Tue 26th.

Just got this emailed.

LIDL

Can anyone tell me why they think small seeds are cheaper than large seeds. I wonder if Lidl have seen a cauliflower seed. Or am I misreading it? Is it the veg that is small & not the seed.........

Last year it was to do with the size of the packet (number of seeds).

Regardless of seed size, I grew some veg from Lidl seeds last year and once you get past the strange variety names, they are excellent VFM. All of the packs I bought stated tat there suffiecient seeds for X number of plants. On opening the packets every single one had up to 350% more seeds than I expected and the germination rate was really good for all I tried. One of the local boys who grows show veg also says that he uses certain Lidl seeds though he won't go so far as to say which seeds he buys from Lidl.

I bought 2 Kiwi plants from Wilko. One is a Kiwi but no idea what the other one is going to turn out to be. Definately not a Kiwi though.

I have tried lots of Lidl seeds and have found them very good. Especially love the climbing French beans.

I am not doubting whether they are value for money, I've grown them myself. I just don't get the "small seeds @ 29p" & "large seeds @ 49p". I'll have a look next time I'm in which isn't very often otherwise I end up broke.

Used Lidl seeds last year, agree with everyone else, very good VFM!! I did have probs with Wilkos prepacked horseradish last year which turned out to be scorzonera!!

I thought that it was small packets of seeds and large packets of seeds and therefore you pay more for the large packet than the small.

I just assumed they meant that the large seeds for 49p were the likes of runner and broad beans and peas. Perhaps not? No idea really as I haven't been into Lidls (I spend too much there as well!).
