Just been to Lidl tonight and my local one has seeds for sale, most at 29p or 59p for the expensive ones!

Just had to stock up whilst I was there 

I've looked on their website to put up a link but I can't find any info on them so they mustn't be classed as a special offer!

They've been doing seeds for a few years now. Nowt wrong with them and great if you want a good basic selection. I'd recommend the round courgette 'Di Nizza' as they did very well for me last year...much better than the long ones.

I tried their dwarf french beans last year and they were great!  Me thinks I'll be heading that way before long...

Another vote for this one.  They also do a mixed green/yellow round courgette seed pack that I have always rated (sorry I can't remember the variety off the top of my head but will update the thread when I get a chance).  They are really versatile.

Thanks for posting that up Suzi. I went up my local one last night and raided the 29p selections. Got 2 packs of watermelon, 1 x standard melon, 1 x gherkin, 1 x round green courgette & 1 pack of mixed small gourds......purely because I liked the picture on the front!

Hey Kev, nice to see a fellow gardener from nearby. Im in bicester too  I shall be raiding the lidl seeds today. Its also worth noting Aldi down the road have fruit trees in stock for £3.99 and a nice selection too.

And a further vote for the Di Nizza, which I've grown for several years now. I'd also recommend their French climbing beans, Hurst Green Shaft peas, and the cucumbers "Pepino". Excellent value - and don't forget later in the season when the cold wind , rains and slugs have taken your salds, their Living Luettuce packs at 80p or £1 will provide about 80 "cheats" of different leaves.

Since I was almost passing Lidl on my way to Screwfix I just had to have a peek, didn't I?  

3 packs of "fine" veg seeds (they have a strange way of pricing them!), one of Cosmos, and one of "Runner beans" which are actually climbing French beans (they have a strange way of labelling them too!)
The "fine" seeds came through as a multi-buy at the till so were 25p instead of 29p, the beans were 49p.  

The sowing instructions are quite unusual too - the Swiss Chard packet says that "often, it is used as a fresh food for pets, e.g. ducks" (you don't get info like that on T&M packets at 6-8 times the price!

its a shame our lidl is shut for refurbishment until next week, but I might just pop in when it reopens in 6 days time

I wish you'd all stop it with seeds. I'm running out of allotment.
