Does anyone happen to know when/if either of these two shops is going to sell their cloches again this year? I bought one last year and it was really good, especially for early lettuces, but I can't remember which shop it is and no-one in either place seems to be any the wiser. I keep dropping by, but each time just come out with yet another packet of seeds instead!

viv if you get down to aldi today there on sale now,as of today 16th.happy birthday for the weekend.

Many thanks, Grock! I've just had to finish a really tedious bit of work, but I'm off to the lottie now. Hooray!

Hi Vivien

I'm waiting for them to come in too and rather than go to the shops all the time I'm checking every day on their websites. As soon as anything good shows up I'll put a posting in Chatter and let everyone know what's available and when. If you're interested Aldi have the fruit trees (in boxes) in next Thursday (23rd February) but nothing else for the garden. Lidl have no garden stuff at all as yet.

If you want to check yourself the links are

Aldi have new offers every Thursday but Lidl have them twice a week (Monday and Thursday I think).

I've tried the Netto site but it's rubbish and just puts up a pdf of their leaflet which is very difficult to read.

If you register on the Aldi site, they'll send you a weekly e-mail with advance notice of bargains. Lidl don't do this, but they do have a weekly leaflet (as do Aldi).

I think the cloches were from Lidl.

Grock - I think you'll find Aldi have the temporary greenhouses this week rather than cloches.
