Hi Spritz, I went in yesterday and bought some little pots of Daffodils, Crocus, Hyacinths and Tulips. 4 for £3. Their website (www.lidl.co.uk) lets you know when they will be bringing their "specials" in to each store.

yes they had healthy indoor plants, but I did not take a lot of notic as I don't have indoor plants ,but were ever I go I have a look at the plants to see if they are strong and healthy,they will be having assorted herbs in terracotta pots andkalanchoe,begonia,gerbera,chrysanthemum or african violet also assorted potted bulbs in wooden or zinc pot's andlots of seeds and every thing the beginer needs to grow them all at a fraction of garden center prices,is that what you wanted to know or are you intrested in the electric salt and pepper mills like me , this all takes next thursday the 28th of jan,

Thanks Ajay! That's great. I'll go in ASAP, and try to plant them with protection from the dreaded BADGERS!!!!! Thanks also for the website - that's useful. :-)

No, Cliffo - I don't usually go there, but I had to do this last year to fill some wooden boxes made in the early spring, and now I need more as replacements for the ones eaten by badgers - you might have seen my blog and question about them! .

there is a cheep shop were I used to live that has loads of bulbs left and is selling them off realy cheep. almost giving them away.

Hmmm - a bit too far to travel, wouldn't you say? LOL.

I have this afternoon been to that shop, still got all sorts of bulbs, and they have been reduced from twopound fortyfive a bag to one pound, the daffs have about six in the bag I never counted the others ,but they are all one pound a bag ,I called in lidl and they have three in a pot for a pound and it looks as if they have been forced, if you want to pm me I will get what ever you want and post them to you, no problem.

Thanks, Cliffo - that's very kind - but I've just come back from Lidl's. I think I shall just about have enough now.

Just as well I went - I bought all their remaining pots of tulips and they're not getting any more in!

a good day then. our local lidl is closed for refurbishment :o( and I have been given £30 to spend on houseplants for the window sill at work. what am I to do, oh I know I wil have to have a drive round some of the local garden centres :o)

you could go on line SBG and find the nearest lidl other than your local there is some lovely indoor plants there, and your money will go a lot further, my garden centre could not compair at the moment, they are consentrating on seeds
