Aldi Seeds 39p

Hi

Sorry if this has already been posted, I did do a search first.

Went to Aldi tonight and they had vegetable and flower seeds for 39p a packet.

I bought:
Beetroot - Boltardy (av. 150 seeds)
Carrot - Autumn King 2 (av. 1000 seeds)
Spring Onion - White Lisbon (av. 300 seeds)

From memory there were also parsnips, coriander, tomatoes, leeks, peas, radish, butternut squash, sunflower, and more flower seeds.

Only reason why I didn't buy more is because last year I was very unorganised and bought lots of cheap seeds/sending off for freebies and kept running out of window sill space

I have no doubt this pattern will repeat itself each year

I don't suppose you can recall what variety the tomatoes were can you ?
I only grow Gardeners Delight because they're the only ones that I can taste.
I alternate between Lidl & Aldi on a weekly basis and it was Lidls turn today (theirs is the only meat that the dog will eat), anyway I noticed that they had some seeds in. The F1 variety tomatoes were 49p but when I read the back of the packet I saw that there were only 8 seeds in it. :eek: I reckon that this is a bit on the pricey side.
If Aldis are the small ones, I'll go with them, failing that it looks like Wilkos @ 75p or I could lash out and go for 3 packs for £1-50 :rotfl:

I can't remember the variety I'm sorry.

I can pop in on my way home from work Monday evening and look if you can wait until then.

Yes I was impressed at the number of seeds as previous years sometimes the cheaper/free seeds have really low quantity.

Thank you for your offer to pop in and find out for me which I'd like to take you up on if it's not too much trouble.
It's a 10 miles round trip to my nearest Aldi which is why I only go every other week. I'm not being green, just tight .

In my local Aldi they also had some "mixed salad leaves", great for cut and come again.

I went into Netto and found their seeds for 19p. Not sure how many seed were in each, but I got some broadies and there were about 25 seeds in there.
