Hi All,

Lidl start their garden equip ment and plant specials tomorrow 3.3.11.

Worth a look if you are passing. Cold Frames cloches, fruit bushes, fertlisers, seeds ect ect.

It is worth a look.

Thanks for this - I might get my husband to detour when he picks me up from the station

If you buy a cold frame from Lidl make sure you erect it well out of the wind. They're held together by friction between the plasic panels and aluminium struts and even though I pegged mine to the ground it flew to bits in the first gusty wind! False economy I think they call it

I've just returned with two round and two square planters with water reservoirs and some bird netting.

I got a couple of the square planters last year and they have been very useful, a good size and the reservoir works. I've actually got some carrots started in one of them in the greenhouse, but really bought them for ornamentals.

Hi All,

I dashed down first thing this morning and got some compost maker x2 and grass seed, bird nuts, secateurs ( not worried if they only last a season), and lilly bulbs.

The assistant said she thought they would sell out quickly because they had been very busy with the gardening stuff.

I got a bramble bush and a gooseberry. They are very small but the currant bushes I got a few years ago from Lidl have grown into great bushes - hope they have survived the move to my new lottie.
Also bought a rose arch and a yellow climbing rose (the old boys won't approve) some seeds and a cloche tunnel thing. Will try to grow some lettuce under the cloche - could end up flying over the North Sea though
