Lidl Seeds from 28p

Apologies if this has already been posted.

Lidl are doing veg and flower seeds from Thurs 29th Jan. Standard packs @ 28p and large packs @ 47p. I suspect this is the full range as last year.

We purchased a wide range of them last year and had generally good results from them.

Dont tempt me, I already have way to many.....

[Two_Sheds]

I have too many! But I will go and buy some more, cos Lidl always has interesting varieties
thanks for the tip off

i was planning a lidl's trip need some bread flour, so i may wait till thursday then

[Diva1983]

I'm not sure if this any good to anyone but our local 'Home Bargains' (kind of like a B&M) have had daffs, tulips etc for.......20 pence a bag! I bought loads.

They also have loads of gardening equipment in at the moment too.

Pound Strecher has fruit trees, apple, pear, plum,quince . Different varieties for £4.99 at the moment.

Nearest Lidl is 15 miles.. prob a bit too far as the nearest wilko is 5 and the nearest garden centre 4.
Maybe I should get a petition going to get one put in the huge space left by woolies on our town?

hmmph.

[mrdinkle]

Don't tell my wife, but I'll be there too.....

Mind you, more to see if there is anything new as I have far too many seeds that need using.

Sorry for people who do not have one nearby.

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

I quite fancy another Victoria Plum and a couple of apple but are the trees self-fertile?

[Newbie]

There are also fruit trees for £4ish at Instore and fruit bushes in Poundland, was in town today & had a quick looksie.

Jonagold and Bramley are both triploid, so they are not self fertile and are no good as pollinators for any other apples.
Cox's may have some degree of self-fertility.
Stella is supposed to be self-fertile.
Most pears are not self fertile, although Conference is partially self-fertile, but if Conference is self-pollinated, the fruit is of lower quality and often mis-shapen.
Victoria and Opal are self-fertile.

sorry instore is poundstretchers, i did notice their morello cherry tree says partly self fertile, so was wondering about getting one of those and a lidl's stella one, would that work??
