I've just been to Lidl today, loads of flower and veg seeds for 49p or 69p, so I got some carrot, radish and iceberg lettuce.
I also got a hop plant, supposed to be an excellent climber, really good healthy plant - £1.49. Plus a small (but very healthy) Lemon tree - £2.99.
I picked up one of their catalogues and they are getting tons of gardening stuff in next week.
Definitely worth a look.

You were robbed! I went too, bought an olive, fig, orange and lemon tree for £1.99 each, but they'll be about 10 years before they produce apparently!

My local LIDL (in Leatherhead) now has a much wider range of fruit treees at £3.99, including
APPLES
Cox Orange Pippin Jonagold Bramley (cooker)
PEARS
Beurre Hardy Conference
PLUM
Opal
CHERRY
Stella
Many look in excellent condition, strong rootstocks and scions with unbroken feathers - in much better condition than Wilkinson at £4.99 where many of the feathers were broken and rootstocks scarred

I am hoping that they still have some of the cold frames in stock when i go first thing as mine was damaged in the winds :(

Just got a cold frame and a spade and fork (and they have nice long handles for tall people like me) :D
-
their fruit trees seem fine to me. I got some last year cos I want part of my plot to be an orchard (don't tell the council 8) ) The Cox fruited but I took them off as I think you're meant to in their first three years. Going to get some more today :D
-
As a result of this thread - my first ever trip to a lidl store...came away with one of those plastic truggie things (like a wobbly bucket, some fleecy stuff and some clogs.Going back for more tomorrow....
-
i popped into Lidl before work yesterday morning and managed to nab myself a coldframe so at least I have 1 to be going on with....just checked and my wages cheque has now cleared ( after midnight) and so I can go back for 2nd coldframe plus a few more things...already bought heaps of their seeds :D
-
Called in yesterday after i finished work and they had sold out of their coldframes
:cry: :cry:

finally got to lidl this morning after working nights, decided to try and get some of the bike hangers they have on offer this week (a pair to hang my ladders from garage roof)
was amazed that the spreader and clogs i wanted were still in stock! so got spreader, clogs, two hangers, a shed load of seeds, and some of those nice choccy buscuits with the ships on. The had sold out the med trees except one poor looking olive. And they still didnt have any currywurst!
