Aldi 99p Plants

chelms38

Hello fellow forumers,

I was just looking through the Aldi homepage and saw that they are selling orange,lemon & monkey nut plants(amongst others) for 99p.Has anyone bought any of these and have you had good results?

Thank you all for your time.

Hi

These are not plants, they are growing kits.

So you get a bit of soil, three peanuts and a plant pot of some sort for 99p.

There is nothing to stop you taking the seeds out of citrus fruit and growing them yourself any time.

how dose that work with monkey nuts then?

In my last garden I had a squirrel that believed monkey nuts were meant to be buried for later, unfortunatly he also forgot where he had buried them and I had plants growing up all over the garden. It appears that ever squirrels are really good gardeners or monkey nuts just grow where ever you plant them.

I bought one of the lemon ones last year when they were selling them. I'll just say I won't be buying another this year!! Nothing happened. Sounds like you may have more success with monkey nuts!!

So did you have a nice supply of monkey nuts to eat then?

Squirrels never remember where they buried them, they source them by smell.

I've bought one of these, I don't think they were the same seeds that you would get from an orange that you eat, I should think they are a special variety.
Well, it's set up now, it might grow- it might not, but the pot is worth 99p anyway
and it's something to do..
